"Oh Auntie's haunted these parts for forever! She's got one eye and a big pointy hat! I'm not really supposed to talk about her and I have to tell my brother she's make believe or he can't sleep. My grandmama even say she's so old that, uh she's so old was here even when there were giants! But I don't know really. Sometimes me and the others'll play Witches and Watchmen and one of us has to be Auntie and then they have to do all the sounds and everything to make a winter spell and then someone else has to be the wolf 'cause she always has her weird wolves! What? No, I don't think she's real either, who'd wanna live in a giant pumpkin?" -Isodier "Izzy" Smith, 8 Instinct: to bespoil

Depending on the age of a spore carrier its looks may range from a dead or half living humanoid, with greying or greenish markings around it's mouth and/or nose to a fully animated moldy furred beast that shambles, slashes with rage or bellows forth infectious spores in a noxious cloud. Its blind rage lashes out at any living thing - growing from its confused vegetable-animal mind hungry for fresh organic hosts and feverish revenge. Complete transformation requires a week of incubation in damp and dark conditions and does not discriminate between the living and the dead. Instinct: to consume

• Bellow forth Spores - infecting those around it

Instinct: to be discreet

• it can reach people by its sticky tongue
• vanish, blind
• screeches to call for others

Lurking in forgotten arcane libraries, spells can occasionally leak into the tomes in which they are contained, morphing the books into sentient beings of arcane power. When picked up, the book comes alive, capable of casting any spell contained within its pages in order to defend itself. In addition, they are able to transform any form of attack into a spell -including nonmagical attacks-, which is then inscribed and ready to cast later. Because of this, they usually contain very unique spells such as Sword Swing (Close, d8 damage) or even Shield (+1 armor forward, one-handed). Their magical protection is a result of the constant flow of magical energy emanating from them, although some theorize it to be a spell itself. Instinct: To learn

• Inscribe an attack
• Transform into a simple book
• Cast an inscribed spell

Acteon are human/stag hybrid thought to be descendants of a being cursed by the gods. They have the head and legs of a stag and the body of a human. Acteon delight in frightening and hunting down humans and others who infringe in their territory. They feast upon the roasted bodies of the fallen after a successful hunt. Each member of a hunting party takes something from their kill, usually clothing, jewelry, or weapons. They determine social status by the accumulation and display of these trophies. They do not attack on sight, instead inviting others to a meal and storytelling session. During the meal, they explain that their guests will be the prey and the hunt shall begin at midnight, giving them a few hours to get away. They enjoy the fear that spreads from this realization. Only the group that invited the guests are allowed to hunt them, unless the prey breaks the rules. If the prey escapes or defeats all the hunters, they have won free passage for nine days through the Acteon territory. Inspired by the Acteon in the Revised Mazes and Minotaurs Creature Compendium by Olivier Legrand at Legendary Games Studio Instinct: to hunt intelligent prey
