  • Swamp Imp Horde, Tiny, Stealthy, Magical, Organized, Hoarder, Terrifying
    Claws (d6 damage 1 piercing) 3 HP 1 armor
    Hand
    Special Qualities: Glowing Red Eyes, Flight

    A vile creature that lives in swamps and other dark damp places with any large source of stagnate water. They favor creating fog to mislead travelers into more dangerous areas where their large numbers give them an advantage. They have an unnatural ability to fuse with any water source that is sufficiently polluted. Although they can easily hurt other creatures with their claws they prefer to kill by drowning. Swamp Imps like to eat their pray after it has soaked in water for at least a few days; a few weeks is even better. Instinct: to trap travelers

    • Drowning
    • One with Water
    • Sudden Fog
    • Swamp Howl (reinforcements)

  • Shell Demon Group, Large, Demonic
    Spikes (w[2d4]+2 damage 2 piercing) 20 HP 4 armor
    Special Qualities: Small Weak Spots, Sightless Sight, Slow and Cumbersome

    A disturbing hybrid of demon flesh and armor, the Shell Demon is a squatty walking spiked ball of platemail. With tiny legs and short arms this demon's greatest strength is its sturdy armor that is only exposed near its giant mouth. Usually serving as guards in confined spaces such as castles, caves, and tombs, these beasts only seem to grunt and growl. The beasts make up with their lack of mobility by rolling themselves at great pace in straight lines. Although the spikes on its armor aren't particularity powerful, any creature who happens to get stuck to them might face the wraith of the Shell Demon's sizable bite. Instinct: Protect and Serve

    • Fast Rolling Spike Ball
    • Devastating Bite ([1d8+2] 2 piercing)

    It looks like a gnoll, but almost three times its normal size, muscles that seem almost physically impossible, and a disturbing look of blissful mindlessness.

  • Clanger Soupstarved Solitary, Intelligent, Hoarder, Terrifying
    Claws and bites (d12+2 damage 2 piercing) 16 HP 2 armor
    Close
    Special Qualities: Uncanny Scent, Terrifying

    It seems that the common diet for these creatures is something enigmatically referred to as "Green Soup" or alternatively something else known as "Blue String Pudding". It is not clear what these things are, but only these creatures seem to eat them. Likely some kind of remnant diet of their former lives. However, when these creatures get too hungry, especially from lack of these peculiar foods... sometimes a terrifying transformation takes hold and they become one of the "Soupstarved", bulking up significantly, they lose a lot of their intellect but seem to let loose terrifying howls in their musical voices, and are full of a berserker rage as they try to feed on anything that might make them feel whole once more. Instinct: To feed

    • Explode into action

  • Clanger Musicalist Group, Small, Magical, Intelligent, Hoarder
    Sonically-enhanced metal shivs (d10 damage 2 piercing) 10 HP 2 armor
    Close, Near

    Despite being scavengers, clangers have some peculiar sound-based knacks. Their language is inherently musical, this is true. But a fair number of them are seemingly able to naturally or perhaps trained in being able to extract music (and moreover sound itself, although it seems music is more valuable) from their surroundings, for later storage or use in some way. If desperate, these 'musicallists' can try to shape the sounds that they've gathered on the spot in order to force out some arcane puissance. Not always a good idea, especially for them. But who knows what trick they might pull out, if threatened... Instinct: To acquire

    • Harvest sound itself
    • Improvise dangerous words of power on the spot
