Loathings are horrendous and unnatural creatures, made by the melding of many living creatures when exposed to an awful unmagical area. They move slowly and in eerie unison, their flesh grown together and their eyes glowing with blue balefire. When alarmed, they moan unnervingly with one breath from many throats.
Statistics: A Loathing is a 20-Hit Die Aberration, which attacks similarly to a swarm, dealing 5d6 damage to each creature within its approximate 20-foot fighting space. It also grapples expertly, tossing targets between its various arms and tearing them apart, using their flesh to add to their own mass. They are highly resistant to any magic, and continue fighting until they have been hacked apart, suddenly disanimating all at once. Loathing gain 1 HD permanently for every 5 HD of targets consumed. How you can use a Loathing in your game: - Loathings are formed by the melding of all living creatures in an area when all magic is drained from it. The living are forever gone, their souls utterly destroyed and melded into one creature. These creatures are anathema to even the most vile of religions, and their presence has been known to cause a rare unity between even embittered enemies. - A detestation of Loathings is formed only in very densely-populated areas that have become subject to unmagic. In groups, they are incredibly dangerous, but they can also form vast detestations, entire buildings filled with hungry flesh. Legends speak that in some of the cities of the Southern Deserts, there are enormous ruined cities filled with Loathings, and those journeying near could view a sea of hungering blue eyes in the dark. - When an arcane experiment results in a terrible accident, it creates a new area of unmagic, transforming the watching crowd into a Loathing which begins to tear into people nearby. Watching adventurers will have to try to save bystanders and destroy the beast all at once. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 24 October 2019. Comments are closed.
