Corrupted Wildlife
Category: Local Wildlife
Specialty: Survival and adaptation in toxic arcane enviorments. Feeding off of magic and mana. Spreading Tass.
Disposal: Blunt force trauma when the target is unaware with flat head bolts and arrows, or use of maces and hammers for melee. Use of magic attacks is not recomended, as that will only feed the creatures.
Notes: any creature can become Currupted. Griffons, Dragons, Rats, Rabbits, Wolves, Bears, Ect. In addition to their normal behavior, The Corrupted also spread tass in the environment. Corrupted naturally wish to burrow into the ground to sleep. When they do, The crystals on their body begin to spread out and cause more tass crystals to grow in the surrounding environment. Many corrupted can be domesticated, however their nature of feeding off of mana in other creatures as well as the toxic enviorment they tend to create makes this somewhat problematic.
Crystal Fiend
Category: Evolved/Mutated Currupted Wildlife
Specialty: Supprise attacks. Anti Mage creature.
Disposal: Quick blunt force trauma attacks or Sonic based attacks. Magical attacks should be avoided as that will only feed the creature.
Notes: Crystal Fiends are creatures that make their homes in fields of tass crystals. hiding among them and attacking anything that come into their terratory. They are potent magical casters in their own right and normally try to overwhelm their target with a volley of magical attacks from hidden locactions. Crystal Fiends are known to burrow underground and create sink hole traps in order to seperate their prey. They do not engage groups if they can help it and tend to pick off stragglers.
Tassnacite Lurker
Category: Parasitic Arcane Life form
Specialty: infestation and assault
Disposal: Combination of AntiMagic attacks and armor piercing attacks.
Notes: Confrontation is not advised with tassnacite lurkers. They are somewhat rare and are unlikely to be encountered. Tassnacite lurkers are covered from head to toe in a thick carapace of living metal that has the same durability as Damascus steel. Assaulting them with blunt weapons is ineffective. Combination attacks involving anti magic and armor piercing attacks are the only known method of taking one down. Tassnacite Lurkers will infest it's victims with Tassnacite and turn them into metallic zombies. Prolonged infestation has not been observed. However it is suspected that the lurker will mutate into something else once it has created enough zombies.
