The Sluagh of the Shamrock Codex
The Sluagh (Sloo-ah) are restless supernatural beings inspired by Celtic and Irish folklore, and they are joining the collection of creatures in my Shamrock Codex.
I created three different playable versions, ranging from CR 1 to CR 5. This allows them to appear in several kinds of adventures, from a strange encounter with a lone wandering spirit to a far more dangerous gathering of shadowy creatures.
The Shamrock Codex will feature creatures and ideas inspired by Irish folklore, Celtic mythology, St. Patrick traditions, and other related legends.
While working on the artwork, I wanted the Sluagh to look dark, distorted, and unnatural, as if their forms were constantly shifting through smoke and shadow.
I mostly succeeded.
One of them still looks wonderfully derpy.
It is difficult to create a group of terrifying supernatural beings without accidentally drawing at least one who looks confused about why everyone is screaming.
More creatures, artwork, and development previews from the Shamrock Codex are still to come.
