  • Moon Baby Solitary, Magical, Stealthy, Planar, Terrifying
    Silver knife (d10 damage) 16 HP 4 armor
    Close, Far
    Special Qualities: Incomplete and hideous, Normal weapons cannot harm it; Any non-magical object striking it becomes a watery reflection and splashes to the floor.

    Identical in appearance to its summoner, but hollow and inside out, with the near side always invisible. It makes a ceramic click on stone floors as it walks, and is a profoundly unsettling sight.What it wants, however, is to give clairvoyant visions. Anyone who accepts a vision from the Moon Baby sees a plausible but false vision, a creation of the Moon Baby. From that moment on, the Moon Baby can see out of the recipient’s eyes. The Moon Baby’s alien mind allows it to integrate this sight from everyone it has ever bestowed a vision upon.The Moon Baby attacks with a silvered knife; it can inflict cuts at any range and always on the far side of the target.If the Moon Baby locks eyes and kisses a being with magical powers, they too are instantly replaced by a Moon Baby version of themselves, loyal to the Moon Baby. Victims will be sent to another plane of existence.Normal weapons cannot harm it; any object striking it becomes a watery reflection and splashes to the floor.. A hit by a Carcosan Spire will kill a Moon Baby. Dungeon World creature inspired by Michael Prescott's 'The Moon is Mine" adventure location. See http://blog.trilemma.com ***Special Move: If magic targets the Moon Baby, roll a d4. On a 1, the effect is reversed (fire becomes ice, harming spells heal, etc.).On a 2 or 3, the effect is reflected back toward the caster. On a 4, both. Instinct: Corrupts

  • Brass Soldier Solitary, Construct
    Grab (w[2d10+2] damage) 6 HP 3 armor
    Close, Forceful
    Special Qualities: Magical construct, Regenerate

    Moving at one eighth normal speed, these solid metal statues are easily avoided by retreating, but in tight quarters(or when attacked with short weapons, pushed, or rushed past) they attempt to grab limbs or clothing.Patrolling brass soldiers will not kill except in defense (i.e. against melting or drilling),but seek to drag whomever they grab to a jail of some sort. Their master generally controls them by some sort of magical device. Nearly impervious to harm (especially electricity), they only ‘die’ if their silver hearts are bored into or melted. Dungeon World creature inspired by Michael Prescott's 'The Moon is Mine" adventure location. See http://blog.trilemma.com Instinct: Obey
