Creatures

The Many Creatures Of Arkai
The world is populated with many creatures that we all are familiar with. Cows, cats, wolves and such. However, like every fantasy world, there are many creatures we are unfamiliar with roaming about in their natural habitat. Sometimes, these creatures can speak, and outsmart the dominant races.

Drider
Driders are intelligent creatures that live in small groups of three or less. They appear to be elven from the waist up, with fairly dark skin, but from the waist down they appear to have the abdomen and eight legs of a large spider.

A drider can speak just as well as elves and such, due to the fact that they constantly observe and watch unsuspecting travellers and campers before either devouring them, capturing them, or impregnating them with large baseball-sized eggs through either the mouth or the rear. It depends on if the drider likes them enough.

They make their homes in dark places, dense trees and swamps, and can spin webs that is thick as rope and as sticky as tar.

Driders, however can be reasoned and bargained with, or perhaps befriended.

Succubus / Incubus ("Cubus")
Straight from the Abaddon, there are creatures that are highly intelligent, that can sap the life force out of unsuspecting men and women, either taking their life or leaving them incapacitated.

Succubi and incubi, henceforth known as Cubi, in their true form, appear to have a faintly red skin tone, with firey yellow eyes and pointed ears. They also have firey red hair, strong-looking healthy wings, two ram-like black horns, and a long smooth tail. A succubus' chest is quite round and large, and they have a perfect hourglass figure. An incubus has a slender figure. Their bodies are tight and envy-enducing for all males. The fashion for all cubi appear to be mostly chains, belts and skinpy clothing.

Cubi have the ability to peek into their victim's minds, and learn what their ideal lover would look like. Then, they would take upon the form and shape of said ideal lover, and seduce them. Whether it be the common "bat the eyelashes" trick, or perhaps seduce them through other means, through displays of compassion or loyalty.

Then once the victim has agreed, the Cubus and the victim will proceed to make love and upon climax, will have almost all of their life force sucked right out of them, to fuel the Cubus' power.

All Cubi know many forms of magick. It varies from person to person.

'''It is possible for Cubi themselves to be seduced. '''This is done by displaying power beyond their own, or defeating them in battle and allowing them to live. And once a Cubus is seduced, they will do anything and everything to make sure that their new master/mistress is happy. To them, it is tradition to submit to your superiors, especially when they show mercy.

Wendigo
A wendigo is a rare beast that lives in the winter cold parts of Arkai. The beast stands at an average of 11 feet tall, weighs over a thousand pounds of muscle, and can uproot a small tree from the ground. They have a thick layer of white fur, and human-like hands with sharp claws at the end. Their teeth resemble that of a piranha's - Jut out, sharp and quite long, and can rip flesh as if it were eating butter.

The wendigo is found in secluded caves to the north, and often the entrance looks just like any other, only inside the cave, the bones of unsuspecting travellers and larger animals.

Defeating a wendigo is a truly difficult task, but the hide of a wendigo is very valuable because of how thick, durable, and warm it is. The meat of a wendigo is also aluable because of it's toughness and flavor.

Undead
The unliving are spirits or reanimated corpses of the dead. They are fortunately uncommon; most people live their entire lives without even hearing rumors of their existence. They are a threat to the living, as they prey upon the living, act as slaves for their dark masters, or act upon their own desires. See Undead.
