Malauna: A Horror Encounter Ready to Play (Free PDF: Stats + Map + Lore)

Hello fellow GMs and Worldbuilders,

Are you tired of "bag of HP" monsters that just charge your players and roll for damage? ⚔️ I’ve been developing a project called DFCB (Dark Fantasy Conservation), where we turn real-world endangered species into high-stakes RPG Bosses to support wildlife protection.

Today, I’m opening the archive for Malauna (Spirit #25), also known as the Broken Smile Agony.

The Concept:Malauna is a spirit inspired by the Slow Loris—a tiny, big-eyed primate that is often mutilated by poachers who pull its teeth to sell it as a "cute pet". In the Bastion, Malauna is reborn as a nightmare that doesn't scream or pounce. He waits.

Unique Mechanics Included:

  • The Necrosis Kiss: A brachial venom licked from a secret gland that literally liquefies tissue.
  • Rete Mirabile: A magical vein network that allows him to remain perfectly still for days, hanging above your party like a living statue.
  • Silent War Cry: An ultrasonic sound wave that players can't hear, but their characters' bodies certainly feel.
I want to offer the community a Free 3-page Initiation Dossier to test this out at your tables.

📦 What’s in the Free Dossier?

  • Lore & Narrative Hook: The tragic origin of Spirit #25.
  • Sensory Guide: How to describe the smell, the humidity, and the unsettling silence before Malauna strikes.
  • Quest Primer: "The Shadow's Grin"—a short mission to drop into any jungle-themed campaign.
I’d love to hear how you handle "silent horror" or psychological threats in your games. Does the idea of a predator that waits for you to sleep resonate more than a dragon's breath?

I see that there is a lot of passage but maybe the Gumroad stage is a bit heavy for a simple glance. To make things easier and get your feedback as soon as possible, here is the direct link to the PDF of Malauna (valid 24h):
