  • Wisp of Remembrance Solitary, Huge, Devious
    Highten Emotions (w[2d8]+3 damage) 20 HP 0 armor
    Reach, Ignores Armor, Far
    Special Qualities: Intangible

    Ever since man first stepped out of the primordial spawning pools we have felt. Anger. Fear. Joy. Sometimes, when someone experiences something truly unique, something that has an intense and profound effect on the psyche - positive or negative - a Wisp of Remembrance is born. It takes the shape of the focus of that event, though greatly embellished - much like the memory itself. The experiences feel larger than life, and so the Wisps are too. These creatures exist through the power of extreme emotion, and so too are they sustained. Be careful if you have something big deep within your soul, or you may see someone else's come to feed. Instinct: to feed on strong emotion

    • Read their memories
    • Make them re-live their memories (the player should agree to this OOC first, give them 1XP if they do it.)

  • Boggit Wurm Solitary, Stealthy, Hoarder
    Mandible crunch (d10+2 damage) 12 HP 1 armor
    Close
    Special Qualities: Burrowing Mandibles

    If you ever find yourself traveling the marshlands of Dungeon World, be sure to travel with two others, lest a Boggit Wurm catch you unawares. These man-sized worms like to burrow near roads and other congested areas to then erupt from the ground and snatch up whatever disturbed its antennae to drag back into its burrow and eat. Many an adventurer has perished from a Boggit Wurm ambush, so if you find a burrow and manage to kill the thing, could be some goodies in it for you. Hm? Why do you need two others? Easy, one person you trust to save you from the damn thing and another you can outrun so it gets them instead. Instinct: to eat

    • Burrow in congested areas
    • Erupt from the ground and grab them
