Bearded Mudwyrm

Bearded Mudwyrm

Wondrous item, uncommon

 

Bearded Mudwyrms are intelligent amphibians that can be found most commonly in rivers. Their most outstanding feature is the long untypical facial hair that both genders of the species carry. This hair grants them the ability to cast a small number of cantrips that are useful to them throughout their simple life. If a Mudwyrm somehow loses it's beard, it also loses it's magical abilities and the beard never grows back.

The beard hair of a Mudwyrm can be worked into a hair growth ointment by thoroughly pestling it. Once applied to a person's chin, a long pale beard grows over the course of one minute. If the beard is cut, shaved or damaged in any way it loses it's magical abilities. As long as the person carries the full beard, it can cast one of the following cantrips once per day.

 

• Shape Water

• Magic Stone

• Primal Savagery

• Eldritch Blast

• Resistance

 

"Legend has it that a curious newt once crawled into the cauldron of a powerful witch, where it licked up the remains of a weird concoction. Unfortunately the Newt was unable to escape the high metal walls of the cauldron and so when the witch came home and found it she became very angry and cursed his whole species. And that's how you get magical muddwellers with beards!" - Jette
