There is a lion, stories tell, that sometimes... isn't.
It hunts the hinterlands outside of the city, and many hunters have seen it. But when the spear is about to strike true, or occasionally when its jaws are about to snap shut on a victim, it vanishes. The Sometimes Lion is a cursed being, doomed to a twilight existence constantly flickering in and out of reality. The curse somehow sustains its life, but it always seems hungry when it appears. How you can use the Sometimes Lion in your game: - The Sometimes Lion might be a cursed person, both transformed into an animal and thrown out of phase with the world. What terrible deed must they have committed to have been cursed with such a punishment? - The Sometimes Lion may be just a regular animal, but might be able to lead wily hunters to the source of its curse- a crashed artifact from another reality, or some kind of magical ruin where a dreadful catastrophe has occurred, perhaps. - The Sometimes Lion may be just a figment of some planar collision, a phantom with no real ill-will, just reliving the last days of its life. Perhaps compassionate hunters could locate the cursed blade that took its life, as it took the owner's, and allow the poor beast to rest in peace. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 4 October 2019.
