River Wyrd
River Wyrd
Elemental Wyrd, U Large Elemental
Simple Monster, XP 1200
Level 6 (+4)
"The forest doesn’t belong to the animals, or the trees. No, there is a good reason there is a pristine pond, undisturbed for centuries, smack dab in the middle of the woods."
——Tastter Maloy, Adventuring Historian
The River Wyrd is an Elemental of water tied to a particular source of liquid, gaining its strength and life from the body of water itself. While within its domain, the Wyrd becomes difficult to kill, and can blend itself into the liquid, manipulating it like a weapon. The creature is also difficult to perceive and is practically invisible while it resides within the water. Its actual form is rather larger and powerful, resembling a vaguely humanoid shape without any features or details. Its favored tactic is to encircle a victim, and crush or drown it into submission. Wyrd’s do not have many motivations for entering combat, however they are fiercely protective of the waters they inhabit.
