The Thisle Blight are some of the largest nuisances one may run across when traveling the backwoods of the hinterlands. Small creatures that hide in the trees, these little pests fire paralyzing needles from their hands, leaving an unprepared traveler incapacatated for several hours. They dont normally kill their victims, though they have been known to steal the odd trinket here and there. Instinct: To Protect its forest

• Fires Poison needles
• Poisons foes with a paralyzing toxin

Scarabaeus pyractomena! What a delightful creature—see how its carapace glitters in the light of our torches? Not too close now, they’re temperamental, you see. The fire in their belly isn’t just metaphorical, no. Watch as I goad the beast. Aha! A spout of flame! Unexpected, isn’t it? One of these creatures alone, if it comes up from below, can be a hellish nuisance to a farmstead or village. A whole swarm? There’s a reason they call it a conflagration of fire beetles. Instinct: To enflame

• Undermine the ground
• Burst from the earth
• Spray forth flames
