[a-book-of-creatures]

I'm running a tabletop RPG campaign where the characters are interacting with folklore creatures from around the world. Do you have any suggestions? Benevolent, scary, weird...

(please avoid things that are sacred I'm using them in a trpg)

Hrm… have you considered asking @thecreaturecodex ? She knows all about that sort of thing. I wouldn’t know an RPG if it crawled up my legs and bit me in the face.

Creatures from around the world though, that’s not very specific… I can think of some random ones I’ve covered over the years, I guess???

The Vatnagedda (Iceland) or Loch Pike looks like a furry golden flounder that lives in lakes. It is so poisonous that merely touching it is deadly, and a dead one can corrode its way through organic and inorganic matter. In fact even ghosts are afraid of it, and one of those buried at the doorstep of a house will keep them away. It can only be held safely with humanskin or skateskin gloves, and wrapped in human and calf cauls.

The Zankallala (Hausa) is a little gnomish being who has a bee swarm for a hat, a snake for a walking stick, scorpions for spurs, and a jerboa for a mount. It is accompanied by birds who sing about how amazing it is. It can effortlessly kill monsters and protects those attacked by them.

The Colôrobètch (Wallonia) is the personification of the winter wind. It sneaks up on children who haven't bundled up enough and nips at their faces with its beak, leaving red, cracked, painful skin behind.

Haakapainiži (Kawaiisu) or Grasshopper is an ogre who captures children and stores them in a basket to eat later. He uses the sharp spikes on his legs to gouge out people's eyes. He can also shapeshift, taking on the form of a harmless old man or a swarm of grasshoppers.

The Zabraq (Middle East) can leap 30-50 cubits in a single bound. Its urine and feces are highly caustic, and it flings them with its tail to kill its prey. If its prey escapes it by climbing a tree, it roars in fury until it vomits blood and dies.

Year 2, Dry Season [1/2]

The first year has ended, and has ended without much issue.

–The foxes are still active. They've been sniffing at Truthseeker's west boundary, and Opal decrees that the west side is off limits for now. Awiti worries about being able to get enough food for the clan with so much territory gone.

--Abuk has been having awful night terrors, and shark frequently wakes up screaming. Yewande and Baobab frequently hang out with shark, trying to offer comfort; Baobab has jokingly dubbed them the "Traumatized Dumbasses Club".

–Jerboa isn't invited.

–This makes her very, very angry. They were sisters, they were all each other had. Friends till the end. But Jerboa wasn't all Baobab had anymore, was she? Her sister had actual friends (she doesn't remember Chikondi), and meanwhile she felt like she barely fit in. Ever since the incident she feels the gazes of her clanmates burning into her pelt, crawling about like ants. 

–She didn't ask for this. She didn't ask for the Saints' blessing. One day, Jerboa goes off into the dunes, and channeling all of her frustration and rage she strikes it. The dune explodes below her paws, and she immediately feels ashamed–but a bit thrilled that she could do that to anything ~~or anyone~~ she wants.

–Nonetheless she decides to put the incident aside and talk about her feelings with Opal instead. Opal seems sympathetic, and tells her that while she may grow apart from kithood friends she has the favor of the Saints, and that is all that ever matters.

–Chikondi is worried, and so is Awiti. The two of them fervently hope some other cats Jerboa's age join the clan so she doesn't have only the leader for company.

–During one of the first storms of the wet season, a strange translucent creature washes ashore. Upon closer inspection, Truthseeker discovers that they're a cat–albeit, a very strange one. A jellyfish is attached to their head and suspended in their body are little points of light.

–The creature is injured, so Opal, Moonflower and Jerboa nurse them back to health; upon waking they seem deeply grateful and are eager to replay the clan in any way they can.

–The creature, who the clan has dubbed 'Jelly', becomes fast friends with Abuk. Upon learning about the fox incident, they decide this is the debt they shall repay to Truthseeker; they'll convince other clans to help. Jelly doesn't really understand the Saints' (admittedly quite haphazard) warning to stay away from other cats; where they came from there were no gods. Things just were.

–Igha encourages this, telling Jelly that she's spoken to some Saints firsthand and the lot of them had no idea what they're doing; but impresses upon them the importance of keeping it secret, especially from Opal. Jelly asks why.

–Their ears flatten. "It's…complicated. Opal's a good cat, and their heart's in the right place. They can just get a bit…overzealous." Jelly seems to have formed an opinion herself, and has formed a plan to sneak off and speak to other cats; which he plans to enact soon (the latter half of the season).

–Fierce has been meeting with Mosi alone rather frequently. Pili can see them sneaking off, and wonders what the two of them are up to, and worries. He resolves to confront Fierce outside of camp one day, and she replies, distinctly awkwardly, that she and Mosi are courting.

–This answer doesn't quite satisfy Pili, but perhaps he's being too self centered. Maybe his brother's just happy with a mate. To distract himself from his worrying, an emotion entirely foreign to him, he takes to crafting. And what has it crafted? He has found a way to combine prey pelts and driftwood in a way to make a rudimentary cart, and once finished, has found use for it via collecting items, including herbs while on walks with Moonflower.

Igha - 26 moons. Black and white bi-color cat with a water edged tail. she/he/they. Curious, cunning, relaxed, but unhelpful, lazy, deceptive. Feels relieved that Fierce isn't spending much time in camp anymore; she dredged up old memories.

Baobab - 11 moons. Black molly with white spots and mushrooms. she/her. Dignified, altruistic, empathetic, but uncanny, uncomfortable, neurotic. Has started to nibble on Yewande's mushrooms as well. Is contemplating starting a mushroom garden.

Jerboa - 11 moons. Calico molly with mushrooms. she/her. Independent, imaginative, playful, but mean, clumsy, thrill-seeking. Is wondering why the Saints chose her.

Yewande - 10 moons. Off-white tortiseshell cat with blue mushrooms and blue eyes. Pleasant, agreeable, well thought, but shy, nervous, and reluctant to share. she/they. Doesn't know how to make Jerboa feel more included.

[bunjywunjy]

cursed facts.

the skeleton of the long eared jerboa looks like it's sneaking around in a cartoon trying to steal pies off windowsills:

but the actual animal looks like this:

[glimmerspirals]

glimmerspirals lore again?!?!?!?!??!

warning: this one’s gonna be fairly dark, too, mostly containing deaths and such. Usual stuff.

yet again, sorry for any errors, english is not my native language.

hooo boy, it’s the him! the scrunky!

His name is Angler and he is a deepseawing from the Abysmal Town, where prince Leviathan fled 500 years ago with his partner Lamprey. In fact, Angler is their descendant (just like literally everyone else in the town). And, what’s more, he has animus magic, too! Other than that, he is blind from the moment he had hatched, and extremely selfish.

In his earlier years, Angler also was a lazy spoiled brat who’d expect everyone to love him just because he was an animus. He wouldn’t do much for the town, though, preferring using magic to himself to sneak to the surface and into the Kingdom of the Sea. There, he met two other dragonets and even became friends with them, kinda. But they died because of him later, anyway. But at least it was an accident. Their deaths had an impact on Angler, making him not only an even bigger brat, but also a shut-in. He then left the Abysmal Town by unrelated reasons. By that time he was seven.

When Angler got to the surface and, eventually, to Pyrrhia, he decided to make money by selling dragons his magic. Basically, he would do anything magic-related (and non-related) for a significant price. Since he was an actual animus who was fine with doing any kinds of enchantments (minus murders at first), dragons would come and come, showering Angler with treasurses, eventually driving him into a ridiculous extent of greediness. Young animus then would extend his list of services, now doing anything murder-related. He will later be known as an animus who specializes in murder (he’s fine with that, but the sheer repetitiveness is rather boring. he’d love to create something again sometimes).

Eventually, he got into trouble when he tried to kill a seawing noble. He’s still wanted in the Kingdom of the Sea. He could easily use his magic to get rid of this little problem, but he uses his magic only when he’s paid to. Or when his AnImUs PrIdE is offended. Anyway, he’s not concerned with this enough to use his magic.

His life was rather rutine until the Sandwing War started. He, as expected, didn’t ally himself with anyone and instead killed anyone who he was paid to kill, even more than before the war. And, after a story with Tsunami, many other “lost princesses”started to pop up, some of them even having enough money to hire Angler, whose price list was just ridiculous at this point. But an animus is an animus, so…

Anyway, over the few days after the events of tLH he worked with six “princesses” - Cascade the seawing, Nectarine the rainwing, Chill the icewing (she wasn’t chill…), Sunburn the firescale sandwing, Duck the mudwing (not anymore) and Lizard the sandwing. All of them had annoyed the living hell out of him, so he cursed them in different ways, which, in some cases, had resulted in death.

After the war he had a fine time and later got sought out by a hybrid sandwing who introduced herself as Sandreader, the only daughter of princess Blister. Angler didn’t care, he’ll put up with any bullsh/t as long as he’s getting paid, which Sandreader could do. So they started working together. sandreader didn’t tell Angler much about her plans, usually just paying him to kill or curse dragons. He didn’t care. Anyway, after some time, when Angler noticed, that Sandreader’s underpaying him (the absolute worst crime in Angler’s opinion), he cursed her, too, growing crystals out of her face and arm and leaving her all alone in the desert.

He continued living his average life until Jerboa’s spell. It, obviously, made him upset, but now his copious years of hoarding had come in handy. Now you can say he’s retired.

Additional info:

since blindness is a common disability in the Abysmal Town, their aquatic has been modified to being more “touchy”. Due to this, Angler is perfectly fine with any amount of touches! You can hug him and not get cursed! (But i’ll suggest you to not hug him too much or he’ll try to gain some profit from it, too)

Has a heavy lisp

likes the feeling of silk fabric

he is currently 62 years old

has two dragonets with Siren (they used to be animi, but he deleted their magic, concerned for them growing up to be a replacement for him)

used to be really skinny when he was a kid and gained weight after becoming a hired animus

his teeth were rather small until he was about 14

enchanted the “rod” on his head to track down his targets

since assasinations were all he was tasked with for the majority of his life, he likes to get creative with the ways of killing

aroace

in russian, which is my native language, his name is “Morskoy Chort”, which literally means “sea devil”. i like it more than Angler

@graveawakening

“ Come on. Yelena’s busy, she won’t say anything if I have a friend over. ”

Dandy huffs and puffs from the cold, tucking his face into his scarf as he dances up the stairs and towards one of the spare rooms. There were a few permanent residents here, and he turns the key in the door at the far end of the hall, pushing the door open to a somewhat comfortable room. It’s a bit bare, but that’s because he hasn’t brought all his stuff out here yet.

There’s the twitch of whiskers in Dandy’s pocket before Sneak climbs his way out and hops up onto the bed, finding a prime spot on the pillows before settling down in a dark, jerboa-shaped spot.

“ We can hide out here to get out of the cold. Have you thought of any new places for us to get into? We haven’t been to the Stone Yard yet, but that’s because Khan and his Dogs are out there. ”

MOAR RAT PACK SPACE TIKTOKS

The boys like messing with Raccoon. That doesn't mean he's not gonna bite back.

Literally.

~.~.~

The camera focuses on the face of the albino child. He's grinning mischievously and giggling.

"We're playing a game," he titters. He turns the camera around, where there are five troopers sitting around the couch. The sixth trooper, Raccoon, is staring ahead while snacking. Little text boxes pop up over and under the other troopers' faces: Jerboa, Weasel, Hedge, Viz, Spilo.

Weasel, the closest to Raccoon considering he's literally cuddling him, pokes him in the face. The other four look like they're making a show of sneaky glances. None of them are subtle, but they don't look like they're trying very hard.

Weasel pokes him again. The kid barely covers up a snort when Raccoon twitches. The fourth time Weasel pokes him, Raccoon bats his hand away.

The video cuts to a few seconds later, the only evidence of time passing being Weasel's hands trapped in Raccoon's. Obviously, Weasel has poked him one too many times. One of the troopers has snuck up behind the couch. A hand sneaks up over the back of the couch and pokes the top of Raccoon's unruly head.

Raccoon surges up and bites the finger. The unnamed trooper yelps and yells, "Chilla!!" 

The video cuts out.

~.~.~

Cut back to a medbay. The medic is fussing over the unnamed trooper, now identified as Possum via text box. Raccoon can barely be seen in the corner, and that's only because an arrow points right at him.

The medic, which the text box identifies as Chilla, calls to Raccoon, "You getting soft, Racc? You didn't even bite his finger off!"

Raccoon purposely and loudly bites the carrot in response.

Disabled OCs 2: Electric Boogaloo

it’s them, they’re here! Or yknow, a chunk of em. i had a LOT backlogged and there are even more in store i have saved away - the ones here are the most fleshed out!

To start, with who appears to already pique peeps interest:

⬆️ Bumble Bea the flower-capybara! 

Most notable is her golden and wild long flowing hair. It has green streaks through it, along with plenty of flowers; some grown by her, and others gathered throughout her life. They’re able to stay alive as long as she keeps them in her mane. Definitely the hippie type, she enjoys being around people and in nature. She is friendly towards everyone, and calls them all some variation of “honey” (hun, honey bun, hun bun..,), she’ll even sometimes pluck a flower to give to you!

Her original dream was to be a rockstar sensation, specializing in psychedelic rock. She even has her own custom guitar (which looks like a bumblebee!). Has hyperthyroidism and fibromyalgia - the chronic pain of which made her decide to retire. She’ll come out to play every so often, just not so extensively as before. For now, she simply hangs out with her family and helps them with their own problems.

⬆️ Lonnie Lop the jerboa-rabbit!

Lonnie is a jokester who doesn’t take much seriously. So much so, he sometimes forgets that some topics are off limits. Barely being an adult, he has trouble judging people, and tends to take things at face value. He’s an overly emotional immature thing at times... but he’s discovered that his family is most important to him.

Lonnie wanted to become an idol more than anything way back when - he had the cuteness, the singing skill, the dancing and everything else! But they had all turned him down, and it’s not really a mystery why. He has a stoma on his abdomen and has a colostomy bag - the most decorated and brightly colored ones are his favorite. He is also borderline anemic and has pica - both of which caused an event that led to him getting the stoma in his childhood.

For now, he simply helps his family out with random little jobs. He looks up to Bumble, who he considers his sister. He still insists on becoming an idol somehow.

⬆️ Otto the otter!

He is a jolly old man with a big heart, and a laugh so loud it shakes the building. Some people might be off-put by his openness, but he’s nothing but sincere. He will always set time aside to listen to whatever problems you may be having, though he isn’t exactly the most intellectual. He’s a lil’ confused but he’s got the spirit.

Otto has epilepsy, along with chronic migraines. All his sons and daughters left the nest and got careers in the technological industry, and he’s nothing but happy for them. But he stays away from screens and such. He’s moreso a man that works with his hands. And he does! Whenever he isn’t in the house with his new found family, he’ll be outside working on a project.

After the passing of his wife and his kids going on to do great things, he’s opened his house up for the ones who have no home. Many people have come to call his house ‘home’ and become part of the family. He fosters kids and helps people feel appreciated when they never have. Bumble came by long ago and is officially part of the family. Lonnie was the first foster kid at his home, and also was the first to be adopted by him.

⬆️ Kato the croco-llope and Lea the sheep-leopard!

Lea has high morality, which many remember her for: she shall never speak ill of someone. Never outwardly be rude or mean to someone. She tends to prioritize helping others over herself, even to the point of bringing harm onto herself. At times like these, usually standoffish Kato will step in and stand up for her. They known each other for a very long time - Kato has known her most of his life, and Lea has known him for over a decade now.

Lea was born deaf and is very adept at ASL and reading lips. Kato lost his arm and eye, has hearing loss in his right ear, among other things, due to something that happened long ago. Despite this, he’s become quite skilled at kung fu - even CCMO has commended him, and request he train others at the dojo alongside him.

The two live at Otto’s Foster Home, with Lea having registered to be the full-time caretaker there. She made Kato go through the training and begrudgingly become registered as well, though he now enjoys it. Lea owns a specialized dulcimer while Kato has and can play his adungu. They’ll play as a duet for the kids sometimes, who always enjoy their little performances.

⬆️ Donna the chameleon-iguana!

She herself has barely any recollection of what she’s like. She remembers slipping away... and then ‘waking up’ in PaRappa Town. after an unpleasant run-in with a certain flower girl, Donna is guided towards the Otto home with the help of a kind rapping dog. She was shaken from the experience still, and simply finds vacancy there.

She wasn’t willing to open up to anyone there, yet finds an unlikely friend in someone called Theo. With his roundabout help and the eventual help of the others who live there, she manages to recover from her past experiences and unlock her past, so that she can finally put her best foot forward.

Donna had untreated juvenile arthritis, and now consequentially has joint damage from it, among other things. She wears loose clothes and has long ties attached to zippers in order to help her move with less strain.

⬆️ Theo the bugbot!

He is an old, cranky, pessimist grump who always has something snarky to say. You’d be lucky if he didn’t directly tell you straight to your face. Doesn’t acquaint much with the other people in the Otto household (where he resides), until he met Donna. They form an unlikely friendship - his abrasive attitude was what she needed to address her problems, and in turn, she helps him be less of an ass.

Congenitally amputated legs, so he attaches large wheels to spurs to get around. He also has pulmonary fibrosis that developed from sarcoidosis. He wears a powerful respirator he had built himself everywhere outside of his room. Hoists oxygen tanks on his back thanks to a vest he designed for himself. Theo also has a sort of addiction to chocolate - the one he wasn’t able to kick. He was very self-destructive in his youth, though he begrudgingly takes better care of himself now.

Theo is talented at home improvement, as can be seen with his assisted living tools. Though he’s embarrassed over it for multiple reasons, he can play the hurdy-gurdy quite well, and does so often when he’s alone in his room. He even played for Donna on one occasion, though he wouldn’t dream of showing the other people in the house his playing skills.

⬆️ Angel the anteater and Cupcake the sugar glider!

Angel was an overachieving student at the college, going for a degree in writing, until the day she became sick with what she thought was the flu. But after weeks of rest, she became worse and worse - and was eventually diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis (commonly known as chronic fatigue syndrome). She joined a support group so as not to be alone during this time. and met Cupcake, who instantly took a liking to her.

Cupcake has Crohn’s disease, and visibility problems due to complications with Crohn’s disease. She had to radically change her diet from before; she eats plenty of honey which helps, but misses cocoa products. The two live together in one dorm, with Cupcake not even hesitating to help Angel with whatever she needs. She always wanted to be a nurse, though she was teaching as Home Ec now.

When Angel inevitably loses her schooling and thus her dorm, the two move in together into Otto’s home. Angel gives what she can by helping the kids with their school curriculum. Cupcake helps her with that, and also teaching the kids other things they need to know. Angel is able to play the harp, while Cupcake plays the harpsichord. They make a fantastic duo, both as a duet and otherwise.

⬆️ Gilly Gary the garden snail!

A boy with the voice of an angel, Gilly was one of the foster kids at Otto’s home before being adopted by a quadruplet slug singing group. They all have a dream of being able to make it big performing all over the world - but until then, they perform at small venues all across PaRappa Town. They’ll sometimes even host fundraisers for homes and institutions that need it.

Though Gilly wants to be a star in the singing world, he doesn’t take much seriously. He just wants to goof off and have fun! He and Lonnie would raise trouble together, seeing as they brought the most mischievous side out of each other.

Gilly had his leg amputated at a young age due to a rapidly spreading infection, and uses Lofstran crutches to support himself. He really doesn’t care, though since he’s a bit of a fashionista (he adores the aesthetic of the mid to late 70s), he won’t EVER cut off a pant leg, and resigns to tucking it in instead. It comes in helpful when trying to sneak stuff into the movie theatre haha funni reference

⬆️ Pekh the wolf-rooster!

This is a cheerful, euphoric man who rises up early every day to greet the sun. He is incredibly happy with himself, and chivalrous - anything he has, he immediately gives to someone else. He already knows he’s glorious, so someone else should have it instead! Though, he isn’t really the sharpest beak on the block. He may be easily confused by something you say, but he’d support you all the way.

His kidneys don’t work very well, and so he gets a dialysis 3 days a week, but takes care of his body otherwise. Why wouldn’t he? He’s the best! On his way to the doctor office, he’ll yodel aloud to himself and everyone around, and will continue while getting the dialysis done. He has an AV fistula in his left arm. He wanted the graft, but the fistula was the better option.

Some people are a bit annoyed by his self-euphoria, but others find it endearing. His family (everyone in the Otto household) see him as a beacon of happiness - Lonnie looks up to him, Theo gets irritated by his bubbliness, while everyone else in the house cheers him on.

~

And that’s the 2nd round of disabled OCs! I had a blast designing them all. I still have so many more that have yet to be 100% done yet (and i even have the first round to shine up and reintroduce)! I’ll see yall when i put up round 3! These were so exhausting to draww

Jerboa + rat concepts

Jerboas are a desert rodent similar in appearance to kangaroos with long hind-legs and short fore-arms. They are able to run at 15mph in order to escape predators. With such large ears- they have incredible hearing. Their tails that are often longer than their bodies act as balance in their hopping and a prop when they sit down. Jerboas are most active at night, burrowing away in shelter during the day. 

A robotic jerboa would be ineffective as a weapon in offence due to it’s size and position as an animal that exists as prey not predator, however- the concept of a robotic Jerboa would make a good spy, with their small size and incredible speed they would be able to sneak easily into some areas and escape just as fast, capturing footage for the military of this realm to use. I could design the giant ears as functioning as microphones to correlate with the real life equivalent’s incredible hearing, The legs could have some sort of spring mechanism which would allow it to keep it’s hopping speed, due to the fact it only has to be inspired by the real life animal rather than completely accurate to it. Improvements can be made for the robotic equivalent.

Rats have similar qualities and potential use as robots to jerboas, minus the speed. They are a small rodent that could be used as spies with their small size and sneaky behavioural associations.

And while a rat robot could look amazing, I do believe the Jerboa is more fit to work as a robotic spy, as the traits overpower a rat’s capabilities by miles. The Jerboa outruns a rat and out-hears a rat. Leading me to know that a Jerboa is more appropriate to design a robot off of.

Year 1, Dry Season [1/2]

The Truthseeker Clan has gone through a tumultuous first dry season, with frightening tides, fearful revelations, and a bout of madness…

–The dry season begins! Opal has been gathering herbs with Moonflower to prepare; luckily felines do not need to drink water, getting all of it from their prey. The clan appreciates Moonflower for this–except for Fierce. She has been getting more and more ornery lately.

–Fierce receives a strange, haunting dream that fills her with an overwhelming sense of dread. She can sense it was sent by the Saints, which sends her into a panic as she fears displeasing them.

–This fear is only compounded when unseasonably large tides begin battering the cave. The camp itself is protected by the Saint’s barrier, but Opal has decreed none shall leave the cave until the tides recede. Being stuck in the camp is torture to Fierce; as her nerves fray wondering what she could’ve done to displease the Saints, she snaps at Abuk, at Igha, and even claws Moonflower for taking a nap.

–-Opal seems to be growing increasingly frustrated with Fierce, conversing often with Moonflower in low tones. Whenever Fierce approaches them, Opal hisses at her to leave because it isn’t her concern.

–Tired of hearing the constant arguments and spurred on by Chikondi’s tales of spirits under their paws and innate curiosity, Baobab sneaks off under the tunnels. The clan goes frantic looking for her, but many days later she returns. However, something is clearly wrong. Her eyes are bloodshot, she cannot stop shaking, and she’s barely coherent, babbling about creatures in the dark and piles of melted bones and the screaming of a thousand voices. She often wakes up screaming from some horrible nightmare, and though Jerboa does her best to comfort her sister, she’s unsure of what to do. She prays to the Saints for guidance.

–Opal, however, seems almost…excited by this. They stop by daily to interrogate Baobab, and seem more concerned about what she’s saying than her well-being. Awiti confronts her on this and tells her to stop hassling the poor kit, and Opal retorts the clan is finally living up to its name, that their theories were right.

–Awiti shares their concern with Mosi and Pili, who seem even more disturbed by this information. The three of them agree that something isn’t quite right about Opal, but aren’t sure what to do about it; they’re a fine leader otherwise, and none of the other options are quite up to the task.

— In between the flooding and infighting, there hasn’t much been time to seek out either the new kit’s parents nor any other cats, so the issue is resolved to be dealt with after flood repair has been completed. Although the camp was safe, the outside areas were not.

–Chikondi, meanwhile, has been despondent. Abuk tries to be there for him, but Chikondi only mutters that “shark wouldn’t understand”. Abuk seems despondent at that, and goes off in a huff, and as does Chikondi. The guilt of causing Baobab’s descent haunts Chikondi, and one day after the tide’s end he wanders out of the cave. Jerboa follows them. 

–They come across a strange, sickeningly sweet scent. The two of them trace it to its source–a tall cat with disturbingly large eyes and ears, that doesn’t seem quite right, with a pale pink collar. The strange cat charges them, yowling something about “escape,” and when Chikondi freezes in panic, Jerboa swats at them. She wasn’t expecting it to do much, but the creature’s paw blows clean off, and it screams in pain. Horrified, the two back away, before another creature emerges from the underbrush. An Alusi, power and trickery emanating from them.

–”This is what happens when my pets try to escape,” they tut-tut sadly. “Thank you, both of you, for taking care of Ihunanya. She’s been so…unruly lately.”

–The two dash home frantically, and Chikondi reports this to Opal. They nod grimly. 

“If an Alusi’s in the area, there’s sure to be trouble. We’re lucky Jerboa has been blessed by the Saints.”

— Chikondi seems intrigued regardless of the danger, and Jerboa seems interested, although for another reason. Awiti seems to mostly just be glad that the her son is alive, even though by now he is an adult. She seems to fawn over them regardless, and occasionally will stop what she is doing to simply check that he is alive and well.

— Jerboa on the other paw, seems to be distrusting of most of the cats of the clan, lashing out in the way a kit does when scared, even when Puli came in to check on her. This culminated into her attacking Puli, with Mosi pulling her away from him, yowling in defense of his brother. 

It seems this unprecedented flood caused rise to many tensions, ones that should be dealt with sooner, should they end poorly later.

The differences between my primary spellcasters in ESO be like

Danaelwen: high elf, very fancy, serves the queen, destruction/dark magic all the way, studies daedra, burned herself in an accident once and now has both scars and use of only one eye, probably worships daedra in secret, unhealthily attached to her dragon toad and her horse Eilenwe but like science experiments more than as living creatures

Zarabhi: khajiit, roguish and not fancy at all, sort of a peasant, would sneak and thieve if bored, storm/dark magic + duel wield, loves treasure hunting, wants nothing to do with daedra but I make her involve herself anyway because I want to, is best friends with her senche-raht companion Afiryi, shared some moon sugar with a jerboa once and now it's like her kid

Zulani: khajiit, necromancer who doesn’t know what he’s doing, he’s not evil I swear, basically just a necromancer to keep the other necromancers from killing him with undead but would absolutely join a cult if offered
