...”hydra”?

...”hydra”?

No, I think it’s abythamia or something like that. The creature could bestow yuan-ti grafts on willing creatures.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I meant as in Homoserpens hydra

 

[abe ray]

I meant as in Homoserpens hydra

Oh.

Fear(as in the monster of the same name) scarius boogius controlius-it’s basically a (I think)amorphous blob that can create a “familiar” out ANY humanoid and feeds off fear and terror.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

“Timor” is latin for “fear”, so that would work as the species name.

What creature type is it? Demon? Outsider? What?

Aberration

Aberration

If you look through this thread, I believe we came up with a “Genus” for Aberrations. Use that.

 

[abe ray]

From pathfinder-color from space-colorus Madinus mutatus it’s just what it sounds like, it mutates creatures and eats their spirits making them go mad! Eventually it eats enough so that it rockets back into space,actionably leaving a baby space color to start the process all over again.
Oni-oriental demons that are interbreed-able with mortals-extraplanus ogrus?
Illiathid-genus squidheadus psychos?

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I think we already did Illithids.

The Color out of Space should probably be an Aberration type, which we already did somewhere. Then add “spatiocolor” or “spatiopigmentum”

I think we also had a name for Demons, too. Add “orientem” to that.
