The Royal Blind Seer Jelly Toad Solitary, Tiny, Magical, Devious, Amorphous Inveterate Whip (d8-2 damage) 16 HP 5 armor Hand, Ignores Armor, Near The Royal Blind Seer Jelly Toad is a rare occurrence. The spawning of a Blind Seer Jelly Toad is infrequent due to the many atypical requirements barring their species from procreation. And further still, a Royal Jelly Toad suffers the magic element, an affliction with a 1 in 1000 chance for most elemental based species inhabiting the Quilt. If you are lucky enough to gain the companionship of this especially rare little creature, you will be blessed with the true sight of potential. Though the Royal Seer is without sight and possesses minimal scent glands; they can rely on their hearing and magic to predict the future movements of predators. This power becomes less reliable the more chaos filled their foe is. Royal Seers can blind their prey using their tensile limbs as well. If this situation befalls you, prepare for their slimy inveterate magic to seep into your eyes and rend you insane from the truths you are now aware of. Instinct: To reveal the true nature of its adversaries
- The Royal Seer uses its magic to assess the true nature of its predators. Their element and abilities are laid to bare.
- The Royal Seer attacks with a stretchy limb and wraps it around the victims face like a blindfold. If their prey is mentally weak and unattuned to the nature of inveterate, they will be driven temporarily mad.
