A Bestiary of Childhood – NPC Edition

The Orcsmith – Axes, Swords, and Things That Go Boom
The Orcsmith is a broad-shouldered, green-skinned orc that runs a blacksmith shop. The sign hanging outside advertises “Axes, Swords, and Things That Go Boom.” The Orcsmith loves building interesting weapons and devices, and will gladly try to build anything customers request, for a cost. He employs two smaller orcs dressed in heavy goggles and leather aprons as his assistants (these are actually goblins in disguise, who go by the names Cutter and Fuser). The Orcsmith will gladly regale customers with the story of the time he attached bombs to the bottom of his shop and flew the whole thing across the countryside while questing for new materials. He sells backpack-sized versions of this invention built by stuffing bombs into the bottom half of a barrel and a parachute into the top half. These only rarely self-destruct.

A Soul Eating Monster
This creature is part plant. It tends to live in graveyards because it thrives on eating souls that is uses to power its abilities. It is almost impossible to defeat, shortly after being killed it reforms with a quarter of its life. It has a slash attack as well as other special abilities (TBD). It’s favorite treat is cookies which are hard to come by in a graveyard.

Suction Cup Gorilla
These gorillas hang from the ceiling using their suction cup hands and feet. They are covered in poisonous fire spikes (spikes that are poisonous and also on fire) which they can shoot. They are vulnerable to cold. Suction cup gorillas eat fire and lava and spiked fire meat. They can also spit pools of lava. Rumors suggest they sometimes live in outer space houses.

NOTE: The picture is the gorilla hanging upside down from the ceiling.

Dracofly
A swarm of dragon butterflies. They occasionally gather to form a giant dracofly and unleash a breath weapon of butterflies. It is unclear what this does. It could be pleasant or terrible.

Heat Yeti
The opposite of a regular yeti. Their speckled red fur helps them hide in desert environments. They are immune to fire. I can only assume they live in Egypt because they constantly tear down pyramids and use the stone blocks to build bridges. They live under the bridges. The bridges are magical, converting the water flowing beneath into lava which keeps the yetis warm.
