Muscaliet By TheSigmaArts Watch

12 Favourites 0 Comments 200 Views

The fire isn't stopping. The Muscaliet run around, spreading their fire even further. The mages summon a tsunami to put out the now ablazed forest. Everything remaining is just charred trees and dried land. Like the plague is brought by the mice, the Muscaliet bring forth the inferno.



Ecology

When a swamp or a forest is unhappy with the way other creatures treat it, there can be a manifestation of Muscaliet. These are small rat-like fire bubbles that set ablaze anything they touch.

They are uncontrollable forces of fire, that stop only if the forest that summoned them is pleased. Even if they can be easily put out, they always return, birthing from any remaining fire.

ABILITIES

Blazing Movement --> the Muscaliet can move through organic matter as part of its movement. If it does, the thing in which it moves is set on fire, taking 1d8 fire damage at the start of each turn. The fire can be put out by using an Action.

Fire Form --> any creature touching the Muscaliet takes 2d6 fire damage. If a creature grapples it, the creature is set on fire, taking 1d8 fire damage at the start of each turn. The fire can be put out by using an Action.

If water or sand (or another fireproof material) is poured onto the Muscaliet, it immediately drops to 0 hit points. When it drops to 0 hit points, any fire produced by that Muscaliet dies out. Additionally, if there's still a Tiny or bigger patch of fire within 15ft of the Muscaliet death position, a new Muscaliet appears in that spot.

The space occupied by a Muscaliet is lit with dim light.



ATTACKS

Touch --> +0 bonus to hit, the Muscaliet targets one attack against a creature. On a hit, the creature takes 1 fire damage. Additionally, the target is set on fire, taking 1d8 fire damage at the start of each turn. The fire can be put out by using an Action.



Final Comments

I'm decently happy on how this piece turned out. Not too sure about the wood texture. Anyway, this was a small elemental idea it came to mind while reading of unused mythologies.
