Noun-Verb'd Creatures... Let's make a list...

edbonny · Jul 6, 2006

I'm guessing the naming of creatures using a noun-verb hybrid probably started with Planescape with the planetouched... but in 3e it seemed to explode! That got me wondering just how many there are out there. Spellstiched, warforged, on and on and on...

Let's name 'em all (and source material, too if you remember)...

1) Planetouched - Planescape
2) Spellstitched - MM2
3) Warforged - Eberron
4) Feytouched - FF
5) Deathtouched - Dragon
6) Starborne - Drow War
7) Blightspawned - Forgotten Realms Unapproachable East
8) Gravetouched Ghoul - Libris Mortis
9) Madborn Creature - Eberron Five Nations
10) Spellwarped Creature - MMIII
11) Greenbound Creature - Forgotten Realms Lost Empires of Faerun

Does Dragonspawn count?

"spawn" is technically noun and a verb.

I think it would have to be "dragonspawned."

On the other hand, "Dragonborn" fits the bill.

Well, strictly speaking it's not something that started with D&D. I'm sure I could think of more, but right off the top of my head I thought of the cauldron-born from the Prydain Chronicles that predate D&D.
