Acteon are human/stag hybrid thought to be descendants of a being cursed by the gods. They have the head and legs of a stag and the body of a human. Acteon delight in frightening and hunting down humans and others who infringe in their territory. They feast upon the roasted bodies of the fallen after a successful hunt. Each member of a hunting party takes something from their kill, usually clothing, jewelry, or weapons. They determine social status by the accumulation and display of these trophies. They do not attack on sight, instead inviting others to a meal and storytelling session. During the meal, they explain that their guests will be the prey and the hunt shall begin at midnight, giving them a few hours to get away. They enjoy the fear that spreads from this realization. Only the group that invited the guests are allowed to hunt them, unless the prey breaks the rules. If the prey escapes or defeats all the hunters, they have won free passage for nine days through the Acteon territory. Inspired by the Acteon in the Revised Mazes and Minotaurs Creature Compendium by Olivier Legrand at Legendary Games Studio Instinct: to hunt intelligent prey
