#Octobestiary Entry 23: Suiko. A more dangerous cousin of the Kappa, they have growths on their bodies resembling tiger claws and armored SCALES covering their body. They are known to drown their victims and then consume their soul, leaving only a husk floating in the river.
#Octobestiary Entry 22: Ieltxu. The fire from its mouth perpetually BURNs and it loves to play tricks on people. At night it becomes invisible except for the fire, which causes travelers to curiously follow the floating flame, and get lost (to the bird's delight).
#Octobestiary Entry 21: Ya-Te-Veo. Disguising itself as a COMFY chair to convince humans to sit on it, this carnivorous plant is also known as the Man-Eater Tree.
Entry 20 for #Octobestiary: Automata. Self-operating devices that are designed to perform tasks for their creator. They are usually MAN-MADE, but have also been crafted by certain gods to carry out earthly duties as well.
#Octobestiary Entry 19: Strzyga. Born with two hearts, two souls, and two rows of teeth, when a person with these traits dies... only one soul leaves the body, and the other stays and gradually transforms into an owl-like monster that will DEVOUR its victims' insides.
#Octobestiary Entry 18: Unagi hime. These eels live under inland bodies of water and can shapeshift into beautiful women. While carnivorous, they tend to use their human appearance to convince humans to protect their LAKE as opposed to eating the human.
#Octobestiary Entry 17: Kobold. Commonly misrepresented as evil creatures, Kobolds are often HELPFUL sprites that can take on human, animal or even candle forms (even go invisible!) That said, if you insult one or don't give them some beer, they will maliciously prank you.
#Octobestiary Entry 15: Serpopard. With the NIMBLE nature of a big cat and the vicious striking potential of a snake, this hybrid is a force to be reckoned with.
#Octobestiary Entry 14: Glacies. An extremely rare humanoid ice elemental which lives in frigid climates; their skin is COLD to the touch. Not much is known about their lives or behavior towards humans. Proceed with caution.
#Octobestiary Entry 12: Dryads. There are many variations of these spirits, based on which type of TREE they are bound to. They are known to be extremely shy, unless they believe a mortal is there to harm their trees, in which case they become extremely fierce.
