Creatures of #Mancer: Nuckelavee (Orcadian)
A demon the guise of a twisted combination of man and horse. Its breath wilts anything nearby and its very being spreads plague. Hostile and malevolent, there aren't many ways to control it, especially when it returns to the sea.
Creatures of #Mancer: Night Raven (Nordic)
A supernatural raven, formed of souls of the restless dead not buried, with souls heavy with sin. Sapient, they fly through the night, leading people astray with the aid of their limited magic. Innocent blood returns it to human form.
Creatures of #Mancer: Nidhogg (Norse)
A massive serpentine dragon gnawing at the roots of the world tree. Due to this, it constantly moves in and out of the Veil, most often found chewing on corpses in the realm of Hel. Its venom is potent enough to stunt the growth of the tree.
Creatures of #Mancer: Myrmecoleon (Mediterranean)
Thought to be a translation error, this twist of beasts is fierce and powerful, much more than its size would imply. Much like the insect its name has been lent to, it has an uncanny mastery over earth and soil.
Creatures of #Mancer: Mothman (N. America)
A tall bipedal winged humanoid. With its gleaming eyes, many who've spotted one have mistaken it for an owl. Despite its large relative size, it is able to reach speeds rivalling even the fastest mundane birds.
Creatures of #Mancer: Lycanthrope (Central Europe)
Hybrid humanoid, somewhere in between man and wolf. Transforming between these two extremes under the light of the full moon, lycanthropes sapience during the transformation varies individually. Distinct from Skinwalkers.
Creatures of #Mancer: Lievo (Finnish)
A dedicated shapeshifter, usually serving as a familiar of witches, shamans and the wisened. Lievo can take nigh any shape, though most often seen in the form reflecting their owner, such as ravens, eagles, wyrms, snakes, or even dragons.
With Slayer's Frontier, I think I found a good balance in a crafting system in a #ttrpg context, that it won't be annoying and is a meaningful part of the progression. Time to bring it and other alternate progression systems to TRPGs via Magus! Who's up for some fishing & demons?
Creatures of #Mancer: Khepri (Egyptian)
Scarab-faced deity said to about the dawn by rolling the sun up to the sky. Thus it has been attributed to be a creator, a protector, a sun-god, and god of resurrection. Whichever attribute holds the truest, it certainly brings change.
Creatures of #Mancer: Kelpie (Scottish)
A water spirit living in rivers. Most often seen in the guise of a dark horse, they have been known to shapeshift. Despite its unassuming outward appearance, they delight in drowning and feasting on humans. Similar to nixies.
