Description "Warning! Savage Damons ahead! - Expect Reality failure, Psychological Damage, and Soul Oblitetarion"

After a long while, I finally came up with some ideas for Onirica's most common threat to life: The Savage Daemons, beings made out fully of spirits who had no purpose and want one so badly that they'll try to get yours, as in, they want to replace you, to have your life, your skills, your memories, and whatever purpose you got for yourselve (or were given by higher powers).  They are weird in every aspect of the word, but, thankfully, they all have a general behaviour, a pattern of sorts: their attacks are more psychological than physical, their touch makes you want to surrender, to stop living, aside from being physically painful, their whispers could be depressing or moving, trying to coerce you in any way to give up your life to them, and their forms could be so strange that some people may feel terror, be in a constant state of confusion, or slowly descend into madness...

They are walking magical generators, and everything they do generates waves in the Ether that any mage worth its salt can detect. They are also attracted to magic, since that means that there is someone casting magic there; the stronger the magic, the more attracted the daemon. Some mages try to capture them, others, prefer to snuff out their pitiful existences with their will for the greater good of everyone else. This creatures are not particularly powerful during daytime, since they are in  such state of confusion and anxiety that they can't properly control they powers, but they are still a great danger, specially during nighttime (where magic in general is at tpeak power) or in big numbers (their effects on people increases exponentially with big numbers).

They can be intimidated into running away by killing some in a short period of time, since they fear oblivion (They have a core of sorts that can be targeted to quickly destroy them, but is VERY hard to pinpoint since all of these guys have different bodies, or if they suffer massive damage, their form will dissolve), and mostly, trains and cities have many protections against them (there are many anti-magic weapons that can be used to weaken them, as well, consult with your local barracks or police department).

Anyway, I hope you like this... my first "spooky" entry for the month xD or should I say "creepy"? xD

Also, made on ink because inktober

I can only cite the Ancients from Eternal Darkness here:



Top-left looks like Chattur'gha still trapped inside of a stone atronach with the Eye of Sauron on top of it.


Top-right, we have Mantorok spaghetting out of some wooden logs.


Middle looks like one of those overdimensional sandworms, except it's made out of flesh, but mostly teeth.


Bottom, not sure if this meant to represent the "core" of these beings, a spawn point for them, or another being entirely for itself.



The fact that magic in your world is stronger at night somehow befits us both

XD

Lovecraftian horrors are my favorites monsters, the weirder the better ^^ So yeah, I mostly squeezed my brain for weird looking beings for a story I'm working on, the descriptions in text give the worm vibrant psychodelic colored wings that can give you a seizure if you look long enough; while the thing made out of logs and flesh is actually five monsters in one. The last one is just another one of these horrors. As I said, the idea was to come up with the weirdest possible beings. They are spawn from a multicolored substance called The Miasma, that is basically the fog of war of RTS games XD , and covers all the places that hadn't been explored yet.

They would be bosses for many games, and in Onirica, there are countless of these things roaming the borderlands of the Civilized world. Everyone one them very different and wielding different powers. All of them intent on consuming existence and becoming their own beings with their own purpose. 

Indeed! ^^ The night is darkness, darkness is the manifestation of the unknown, and what is not known, is fulfilled with legends and beliefs, the generate an endless stream of certain feelings: fear, wonder, curiosity. Night empowers that which cannot be studied or understood conventionally, like magic or espirits, because  of the emotions we associate with it x)
