Iv-warped abberation - CR: 7
Story
The plains in the lands of crudilex are peppered with strange sphereical objects. Black iron balls of immence power that when interacted with for too long a time begin to controt and warp those who draw from its power. First it addles the mind and slowly plaes the skin eventually the user is unrecognizeable. A violent arcana weilding abberation.​
​
These creatures wander the grassy feilds seeking more and more of the orbs endlessly. some wear shrouds, still present of mind enough to feel shame for what they have become.
​Combat
The Iv-warped hunger for mana, they target casters First but if attacked by closer enemies they will use there tenitcal slam and try and get them charmed so that they can use borrowed might to get them to target weaker enemies.
​
There drive is to consume as much magic as possible.
Story
The Pith, born of iv, are far more suseptible to the lingering influences of the god of gods. The fragments of iv that litter the plains of averice have powerful corrupting effects on these half-real creatures.
​
Becuase of this many of there kind have become obsessed with consolidating these artifacts. Some going as far as beliving when the innumaerable fragments are collected the meaning of existience will be made clear to them.
​
In persut of this idea came the pithidic Rebuke. A group of pith supremisists who will stop at nothing short of ending this world to fullfill this goal.
