Trial of Ink - Day 14 - Primordial
Added 2021-11-17 16:29:25 +0000 UTCDeadnaught
The Deadnaught is a mysterious humanoid creature that originated from the deepest part of the underworld. The legend about them has been told for millennia and it is suspected that The Deadnaught is perhaps one of the first humanoids that inhabit this world. They’re ravenous beings with a unique way of consuming their prey. Any living creature that they touch will get mangled, twisted, and then absorbed into their body which then allows them to not only grow but steal their abilities and knowledge. Originally they’re only as smart as a child, but their intelligence grows as they consume more living organisms. It’s still unknown where they’re coming from and how they’re created, the only people who know about their secret is a group of druids who dedicated their entire existence preventing The Deadnaught from reaching the surface world.

Hi everyone, finally I can continue working on the trial. Pausing for more than a week for some reason dulled my brain and it took me quite a while to come up with something for this prompt. Thus I decided to use a creature previously briefly featured in the 'Melinoe The Keeper of Ruon' entry last year, The Deadnaught.
PS : The file will be added to the folder which link I've previously sent out last month. I'll send the link again at the end of this month for new patrons.
-----------------------
UPDATE :
I just added 2nd page for Deadnaught and the stats. For the stats, because of its ability to absorb creatures and get their natural ability, I made a table for options that you can give to it. This mean, you can also create some kind of abomination by rolling multiple times for a single Deadnaught~
the files will be added to the Trial of Ink folder in the Vault post later.

Amazing work here. Genuinely very inspiring stuff I can use in campaigns!

They still have to make a death save, though, and with the damage over time, they probably only have two rounds at best. and the tricky part, while that character is unconscious and attached to the Deadnaught, it can use that character's features~
