Nightmare Stag

Tutelary Spirit

A creature found stalking the Scrub. Its form is defined by a large deer skull with glowing red coals in the eye sockets, and its body seems to be relatively "shapeless" and hard for focus on. It's uncertain where this creature comes from, or what its intent is, but it exudes an aura of hunger and dread.

Known Information

The Scrubs

-It can mark those who see it with an affliction, and upon encountering it again they will be temporarily incapacitated (stunned) for a round.
-Though it can be hurt, it is advised by both the OSR forces and those West Village members who encountered it to avoid direct combat and flee if it presents itself.
-It is intelligent but not openly malevolent, instead choosing to eerily observe individuals.
-It may have the capacity to tear holes in reality, summoning aberrations in the process, though this is speculation by Amati Liminzah, and needs confirmation.
-It seems to be hunting something, but what so far is unclear
-Seems to have come from another dimension, and is perhaps something known as a Leshy on Terra that was corrupted when it was pulled through a portal by Dr. Moreau

Deathly Stare - Intrusion

A character making eye contact with the creature is cursed with fright upon failing an Intellect defense roll. Upon seeing the creature again, they become stunned for one turn. This may be inflicted outside of combat for later use, or applied immediately during conflict.

Mark Prey - Special Ability

This creature or person is exceptional when it comes to tracking a target. Only one character may be marked as prey at any given time. While marked, the creature or person knows the general location of their prey, and may move freely towards them unhindered.
