Pure Evil - Medium - Aberration | |
Falx Beasts, or False Monsters, or Faux Men, or Foe Men, show up as vague, shadowy distortions in the air. They appear in the light or the dark, and seem unaffected by either. They look like man-sized, man-shaped...things.
They are seen widely, across many cultures, rarely but persistently, everywhere that there are intelligent creatures. They are eerie, frightening things, that can apparently show up nearly anywhere. For centuries they were dismissed as figments and night terrors, and even after their existence was more widely proved, what they are is utterly unknown. It is almost certain that they are not Shadows, or any other sort of Undead. They do not seem to be mindless vermin, either. They seem to have no reaction to things that drive shadows away, and their attacks show definite intelligence. They are inimical, and will attack and kill whatever they can. The only way to drive off and destroy these Falx Beasts is through courage and effort. When they appear, attack them and destroy them. Before they kill you. |
