LOSER'S BRACKET FINALS: CANOLOTH VS BULEZAU

CANOLOTH

BULEZAU

Voting ended onSep 14, 2024

On the left, Canoloth! It's around 4 ft (1.2 m) at the shoulder with a 20‒30 ft (6.1‒9.1 m) long prehensile barbed tongue to grapple with. They're telepathic, covered in chitonous plates, and despite thier blindness thier amazing senses let them see everything within 120 ft (36.6 m) perfectly, ignoring all illusions or shapeshifting. They're also surprisingly chill creatures and won't do anything not SPECIFICALLY in thier contract. So if you can find some reason why stopping you isn't in thier contract they'll happily stop and chat or let you walk right past their guard gate.

On the right, the Bulezau! The 8‒9 ft (2.4‒2.7 m) scrawny demonic goat version of a minotaur! They're telepathic, hard to knock off balance, and a specifically-bred embodiment of the rage of a diseased animal. Now there is also the little downside of the necrotic aura attempting to rot everything within 30 feet, but they're tall and like wrestling! :D

Stuffed somewhere in the attic of the Morgue manor, a reminder to the family itself that this lowly creature is still their own...

Monster Analysis: Aeorian Nullifier and Canoloth

Thanks to @ksl_art for this art piece!

As the Nein dive even deep into the heart of Aeor, the city’s projects and experiments dot their path with more frequency. Some of this research has been informative or even advantageous to the explorers (as we’ll explore in another article). Other relics, however, continue to defend the city long after its fall.

The Nein had already experienced the serious dangers of tangling with the Aeorian hunters back in the Praesidis Ward. Here in the Genesis Ward, the Nein not only stumbled across the third hunter type in the wild (and not safely in a test tube), but another threat entirely, a monstrous non-monstrosity. Together, these magic-cancelling creatures showed the Nein that as dangerous as it is to rely on magic in a place like this, not even the battle-worn tank is safe in combat.

Man I love yugoloths. Got a few converted from older editions’ daemons in here too, some redrawn from old designs way back on the blog.

Grung

Finally nearing the end! Which is great, I've somehow got 3 tournaments going and even I'm getting a little confused.

First is the Canoloth! It's around 4 ft (1.2 m) at the shoulder with a 20‒30 ft (6.1‒9.1 m) long prehensile barbed tongue to grapple with. They're telepathic, covered in chitonous plates, and despite thier blindness thier amazing senses let them see everything within 120 ft (36.6 m) perfectly, ignoring all illusions or shapeshifting. They're also surprisingly chill creatures and won't do anything not SPECIFICALLY in thier contract. So if you can find some reason why stopping you isn't in thier contract they'll happily stop and chat or let you walk right past their guard gate.

Then we have the full version of the Grung! Grungs are 3 ft (91 cm) sentient poison tree frog people. Generally aggressive and territorial creatures that live in a (usually) matriarchal caste based society based on color (though your role and color can actually change if you do well enough). The color actually does matter, as it determines the powers their poison holds!

Green poison only lets you move by jumping and climbing. they're warriors.

Blue grung are artisans and childcare workers, and thier poison compels you to make loud noises.

Purples are supervisors, thier poison fills you with the overwhelming urge to soak in water or mud

Reds are mages, usually of primal or divine magic, and make you need to eat anything edible in sight.

Orange are elite guards and make you scared of your friends.

And gold grungs are warrior rulers whose poison...makes you love grungs and instantly fluent thier language. somehow.
