Zecodspawn

Zecodspawn is the name given to the various dark and twisted creatures spawned by Zecod, as described in the myth When the Posioned Tears Fall Down.
Little hard facts are known of these creatures, even though the Sabesian Steelknights are officially tasked with researching them and providing their findings. However they are mostly focused on reearch most effective ways to find and destroy the creatures, so most details are based on rumors and folktales.
It is certain, most of the creatures appear after an occurence of dark tearfall. This seems to always be the case no matter how long or short or intense the tearfall happened to be. After a few weeks, the number of sightings go down and the creatures apparently have either died off or gone into hiding.
There exists various forms, usually a dark violet skin color, claws, hunched over. Most of them have some kind of deformed human figure but there have been tales of deformes bears, cats and even spiders.
WHile mostly acting agressively and like wild creatures, they do seem to posess some form of awareness and intelligence. Most of their actions though are driven by disgust or hatred of people and by their hunger of magic.
They seem to be drawn to areas of strong magic, so while the Wunnewalden forest has several of them lurking in the area, the Copperwynn plains are almost free from them.
The Sabesian Steelknights are actively hunting and destroying these creatures.

Further Details

The followers of Zecod are often protecting and recruiting these creatures. They seem to be able to work together with them.
The first symptoms of Tearfall Dread cause a victim to get darker fingernails in a similar color to the skin of these creatures.
It is rare to see these creatures in the years between the dark tearfall. However when a new Tearfall approaches, they start reappaering again. Some speculate most Zecodspan hibernate underground during this time.
