Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 8746122" data-attributes="member: 2209">Tehuatl Fifth Edition Bestiary5eShadow Greater: They are typically found amid the huge undead maizefields that surround settlements of lost souls that become trapped and forgotten on their journey to Miquito (the Realm of the Dead). The maizefields and shadows share an inseparable, almost symbiotic bond. They are the physical manifestations born from the fear of the departed who cannot find sustenance. In turn, the shadows created by their internal terror ultimately devour their life essence. Spawn of Tlatoani: The origin of these foul, undead abominations remain shrouded in mystery, though religious scholars believe the former lord of Tehuatl and the whole of Notos crafted these undying horrors from pythons. The ritual used to make these creatures has been lost to time, as the only known specimens are found in places closely associated with the southern continent’s former master. Measuring roughly 10 feet in length from snout to tail, the monster attacks with its fearsome bite and its surprisingly supple tongue that somehow survived the mummification ritual largely intact. Unrequited: An unrequited only forms from the enduring essence of an adolescent humanoid. It takes at least a year for the creature’s consciousness to take on a life of its own. Therefore, the brain must remain well-preserved and intact during this strange metamorphosis. Most of these vaporous undead coalesce from an adolescent who died suddenly and violently at another’s hands. Shortly after the being’s demise, the creature’s unfulfilled aspirations take physical form as wispy clouds of crimson vapor. When the disparate parts merge to create a singularity, the unrequited’s formation is complete and its desires become reality. Despite being created from the thoughts of a sentient being, the spiteful undead has no memory of its former existence. Unressurected Wraith: These woeful beings remain bound to the mortal world, trapped for all eternity in the perfectly mummified corpses of their former bodies, only to be awakened and transformed into incorporeal horrors under specific circumstances. They cannot voluntarily transform into their incorporeal form and thus remain bound forever to the pacts and magics of their creators. Many of these creatures willingly enter bargains to serve as the guardian of a sacred place only to learn in death that the fate bestowed to them is not an honor but a cruel curse.
