Feast Beast

Campaign: Reborn

Description

An oversized lupine creature made completely of small insects. This creature was created in the Trial of Heroes on the third trial, the banquet. Within the rotten food on the table lie the insects which form the creature, and when summoned they leave their various dishes to amalgamate into a wolf shape. The creature appears to not be sentient, but have the collective intelligence of a regular dog. It can be tame at times, but otherwise will act on orders to destoy anyone participating in the trial.

Due to the structure of the Feast Beast, slashing and piercing weapons are at a disadvantage. Attacks with a sword or similar will result in the weapon passing through the monster’s body, killing any insects in its path but passing through and allowing the “flesh” to reknit itself. Any stabbing attack on the creature results in the insects moving out of the way of the blade, then reforming once it is removed. Magical attacks prove to be the most effective, as bugs are not well-known for their inflammability.

Drifters

This creature, or composite, was summoned by Violet and showed great affection towards her, allowing the girl to stroke its “fur” and nuzzling into her arms. However, when the trial began, the Feast Beasts began to attack the drifters. The fight was ultimately won by having several of the drifters summon fire and setting the Feast Beasts alight. Once the creatures were burned to ash, the drifters were allowed to proceed to the next trial.
