Description
This was actually from yesterday but I didn’t have the energy to do the writeup. Maybe I should have done Tatzyl last, but oh well. Also I bet I have made a million typos .-. sorry!
Tatzylsnatch Dossier:
Habitat: Drawn to areas of dark and wild magic. Typically deep jungles but also often dungeons and other such places.
Danger rating: Extreme
Size relative to human: Larger (8-10 ft)
The largest subspecies Tatzylsnatch are apex predators that traditionally live in deep jungles. These unusual monsters are fortunately rare, even in their native habitat. A single creature commands and defends vast territories and they usually live alone with a pack of smaller subservient monsters called tatzyltickles. They passively absorb dark magics to enhance their abilities and actively seek out places with high dark mana density to make their dens.
They are easily identifiable by their hulking size, orange striped dark fur and chalky red claws.
Tatzylsnatch hunt all manner of prey, they are strong and quick, their quad of fore-claws capable of making a meal out of most opponents - but the real danger lies in their venomous bite which can quickly incapacitate even the fiercest of foes. Their hide is incredibly tough, practically immune to unenchanted blades and they are adept climbers and swimmers. Their largest weakness is their hyperactive, energetic demeanor and susceptibility to being distracted.
Tatzylsnatch are playful and mischievous, seldom malicious and they tend to prefer to feast upon non-sentient creatures. Most of their encounters with other monstergirls involve a playful wrestle or some other manner of teasing.
It is generally known that those that feel the wrath of the Tatzylsnatch face a fate worse than death. The cause of this dire omen is a second specialized venom the Tatzylsnatch can inject into its victims. Contamination results in a disturbing transformation, similar to that seen in lycanthropy, into a smaller subservient species called a tatzyltickle. Tatzyltickles lack the venomous properties of their alpha and are more susceptible to mundane weapons but otherwise match the tatzylsntach in all but size with most tatzyltickles being under 6ft tall.
This secondary venom’s efficacy varies from species to species, but humans are particularly susceptible and for this reason a Tatylsnatch will never pass up the opportunity to expand their brood by letting a human pass them by unaccosted. Once turned, a tatzyltickle is unlikely to ever return to humanity. Fortunately the transformation can be halted, and even reversed through consumption of rare crystal peaches.
