Splock

Violem    Plants & Fauna    Plants      Splock

Splock are part of the animated plant life that exists within the more darker and damper corners of the world. These mushroom stalk monsters crawl around on the ground looking around at their surroundings for any potential danger. Naturally defending itself from larger beasts and monsters.

Appearance:

These dull white critters typically stand about 8 inches tall but some have been known to grow a foot in size. A thin stalk that resembles a noodle, bulbous heads similar to other mushroom species but with a more unnerving appearance due to its multiple eyes on its head. It moves around with several legs that bend and twist from its trunk of a body to scurry along faster than most expect.

I do not like them. Simply an awful critter. Why do they have so many eyes? Do they need all of them? Master El-Sor says they can be dangerous in numbers but I'd rather stay away from any of them if I can help it.

Location:

The Splock are brought to life in dark and damp conditions, making swamps, rainforests and cave networks the perfect spawning place for these fungal creatures. Hatching from eggs that take roughly a month to explode into life, these walking eye sticks typically crawl around in small groups around two to six in total.

Potential Plot Hook: In the deepest and darkest parts of the wilderness, where the monsters run wild. There are whispers of Splock growing out of proportion, gaining new mind bending abilities. Some even gaining the ability to communicate with Sorcerers and Necromancers who get lost in the woods. A team of hunters went in search of answer but they never returned...

Actions:
