These creatures appear around locations where ancient otherworldly creatures sleep. They feed on whatever life they can find, until their energies can be harvested by those who would want the ancient beasts to awaken once more. The leech spawn's whole body consists of worm-like tentacles, with the exception of a glowing sphere-shaped organ constantly moving around in the creature's "body". When the creature is severely injured, this organ will begin to twitch and shine, before exploding shortly afterwards. If the leech spawn is able to gather sufficient nutrition (roughly one human), the organ will detach itself from the leech spawn, who will then start growing a new one. What anyone would do with a ball of volatile bio-magical energy like this is up to them. Instinct: To feed

• Detonates when severely injured

And now their soul, once so fresh, is trapped in the cellar with all the others. Instinct: Lurk in cursed places

Usually, only one shaman of power would be born in a generation - a grave threat in itself, but manageable. This generation, there have been dozens.

• Flee into the path of danger
• Get sacrificed
