Magical Beasts

Appearance: A moth typically slightly smaller than the palm of a hand. They have a range of deep wood colouring and are usually striped. They rarely have eye or distressing patterns or even purple accents to their wings.

Behaviour: These creatures are as harmless as they come, seeking out humans from remote forests during the night. The darker the moon, the more active they are during the night but also more notably the more lazy they are during the day. 

They will land on or near a sleeping victim and drain mind magic through them, charging themselves. The victim will experience odd nightmares during their sleep and wake up sweating and with a headache. The moth will usually hide itself from the victim’s awareness with magic, and then fly off when they are ‘full’.

Appearance: A larger seagull with the same regional patterns found in non-magical species.

Behaviour: A more irritating version of the common seagull, they will cause headaches and nausea in potential victims to divebomb them, wrapping their wings around the victim’s head to drain mind magic from them (and also steal their fries). They’re almost indistinguishable to the normal gull. Be careful!

A patient owner can teach their gull to pinch and steal objects they point at with a gesture.

Injury Threshold: High

Availability: Extinct in the main world. Must be brought over from another world or by other means...

Appearance: A soft-shelled cousin of the typical armadillo. They may range from having darker coloured shells, to more pleasant beige and orange shells.

Behaviour: They will latch and wrap onto the legs of humans to drain common magic from them, bolstering the defense of their shell and keeping them warm. They will then harmlessly pop off and scuttle away. They are not known to be dangerous (but people might think they’re cuddly). Due to their non-hostile nature, they are the most well-regarded of the magical beasts. Even the public is aware of their behaviour.

Appearance: An ungulate roughly the size of a thoroughbred horse. They have slightly longer necks and large dark brown spots along its neck and legs than its smaller counterparts. Its distinguishing feature are the two horns on its head, similar to that of a giraffe but longer and more durable. They are publicly known as the Spotted Okapi.

Behaviour: They are incredibly friendly and are found in south Virni where herds roam free. Tourists like to see them and are free to touch the animals. Eux-horns drain light magic from humans and the side effects are unnoticeable…except to a prospecting sorcerer that may find themselves unable to cast magic for some time…
