Metal Blisters

This six-foot tall flightless bird resembles a mangy combination of an ostrich and a vulture. Originally from the southern islands, in their natural habitat these birds are generally peaceful and pass their days eating large bugs and small lizards. Unfortunately, the acrisbirds that have survived the thousand-year imprisonment in the Collegium have had to find new food sources to survive and have,…

Candle-jacks are a specific type of construct that includes a tough gourd or vegetable as the repository for their mystic energy. Most commonly, they appear like pumpkin-headed scarecrows with carved faces that flicker with their magical energies. Although these constructs aren’t as tough as some other types, the greater flexibility provided by their organic construction means that they are capabl…

These flying, hand-sized insects feature a shimmering carapace, usually green or blue, as well as a pair of powerful mandibles capable of tearing into flesh, wood, and even soft stone. Gnawbeetles are only dangerous near the time of their birth when they emerge as a swarm from the carcass of a construct. At this time, the gnawbeetles are filled with the mystical energies of the construct which cau…

These large, predatory insects, are native to the lands far to the east. They were brought to the Collegium as zoological specimens. They escaped during the cataclysm and have survived through to the present by spending long periods hibernating in cocoons. When fully grown, mantodeus stand nearly five feet tall, and sport a pair of strong, barbed forelimbs which they use to disable prey before dev…

Developed long ago in the breeding pits beneath the city, the Praklicore was a critical success but a commercial failure. In appearance, it resembles a lion covered in spines like a porcupine. It has a set of ‘wings’, that are useless for flight, but can fling its spines at great distance and with significant force. Just to make matters worse, the spines secret a nasty toxin that is poisonous to m…

Frostgrave Bestiary Creatures. In some of the far eastern kingdoms, houses, temples, and government buildings are often guarded by large, slow constructs called ‘shrieking wolves’. These statues (which, despite the name, may depict any creature) are designed as alarms to scare away intruders. While not intended for combat, they are tough and tenacious, so fleeing is generally the best course of ac…
