  • Will-o-Wisp Solitary, Tiny, Magical, Amorphous
    Electrical Bolt (d6 damage) 6 HP 0
    Hand, Ignores Armor
    Special Qualities: Incorporeal, Only damaged by magic or magic weapons

    Will-o’-wisps can be yellow, white, green, or blue. They are easily mistaken for lanterns, especially in the foggy marshes and swamps where they reside. A will-o’-wisp’s body is a globe of pure energy about 1 foot across and weighing about 3 pounds, and its glowing body sheds as much light as a torch. In order to sustain itself, it must feed off upon the electricity generated by the brains of people who realize they are about to die. It lures those who wander into its midst by taking the form of a guiding light (the creatures can alter their forms, size and color to a small extent), and then have them wander into deep pools where they get sucked down and drown. The wisp then feeds on the energy generated. If the creature cannot lure victims into a trap, it is also capable of generating electricity on its surface to act as a attack. Instinct: Doom

    • Lure
    • Trick
    • Consume

  • Yellow Musk Creeper Solitary, Large, Devious
    Tendril (d6 damage) 16 HP 0 armor
    Special Qualities: Sprays Yellow Musk Zombie Pollen

    The yellow musk creeper is a hideous plant that grows in haunted graveyards, grisly battlefields, and other places where death hangs heavy in the air and thick in the soil. The yellow musk creeper's method of procreation is singularly frightful—it slays the living, infests them with its seeds and pollen, then animates them as zombies. These zombies serve the plant as a guardian, but when new zombies are created, older ones wander off, collapsing and breaking apart to give seed to a new yellow musk creeper. Custom Move: When you inhale yellow musk pollen, ROLL+WIS. On a 10+, you keep control. On a 7-9, choose 1: You're not dizzy for hours.(-1 on all rolls until you next make camp) You don't have to Defy danger vs. WIS to attack the musk. You don't take your friends for musk zombies. On a 6-, you're under the yellow musk charm. Fall asleep in the deadly embrace of the Yellow Musk Creeper, zombie soon to be... Instinct: Create Zombies

    • Spray Pollen
    • Creates Yellow Musk Zombies
