  • Belker Group, Small, Magical, Intelligent, Planar, Amorphous
    Claws of hot ash. (d8+2 damage 1 piercing) 9 HP 5 armor
    Close
    Special Qualities: Mostly incorporeal.

    Composed primarily of smoke, ash and grit. It is bean shaped, with a wisp of steam for a tail, demonic looking bat's wings, red eyes, and two smoggy arms with claws. Though belkers in the game are undeniably evil, they are reclusive and have very little interest in the affairs of others. If angered, however, it attacks without mercy. Sometimes, it attacks with its teeth and claws, and can blind opponents with its stinging ash, but there is another way. If a person inhales a belker, it solidifies and tears them apart from the inside. Coughing one back up is the only way to escape this horrible death. Most of the time the belker has a solid form, but it can assume a smoke form at a whim, allowing it to be inhaled for the inside attack, and to fly more easily. Instinct: To enjoy the wind unimpeded.

    • Become smoke, ash, and grit.
    • Crawl into your mouth, nose, or ears and gut you from the inside.

  • Bunshee Solitary, Tiny, Stealthy
    A sharp bite. (d10-2 damage) 16 HP 0 armor
    Hand, Ignores Armor
    Special Qualities: Run away quickly.

    The bunshee is the most detestable creature known in all the kingdoms. It lures the young and unwary away by appearing as a common rabbit but once it has it's victim apart from all others it lets loose a wail which will break the heart of all but the most vile and pure. The bunshee feeds off of the anguish of others and if it is not defeated it will leave them incapable of forming bonds with any living thing. There is no known way to distinguish a bunshee from an ordinary rabbit until it starts to wail. Best just to kill them all I say. Instinct: To feed on the broken hearts of the living.

    • Screams it's sweet song to break your heart.
    • Appear as a sweet and innocent rabbit.
