Anatomy & Appearance
The ‘Jitterbug’ as it’s called, is a small, bumbling creature who runs around, akin to a chicken with its head cut off. They are odd, brightly colored creatures, with scaly black faces and snouts, with similar legs, four stubby arms, and long scaly tails. Their feathers come in various colors, bright pinks and oranges, blues and greens. Long black antennae spring from their heads, twitching depending on their mood. The size of a Jitterbug is 5-7 inches tall from feet to head, and 9-10 inches tall from snout to tail.
The Jitterbug lives on a diet of leaves, flowers, and fruit, but is known to enjoy candied flowers and fruits as a sweet treat. Their teeth are small and blunt, only able to rip and munch on the small food they seek.
Due to their friendly nature, the Jitterbug can easily be caught as food by a descendent. To be eaten and cooked the Jitterbug should be plucked and skinned; the flesh of a Jitterbug, although little on the bone, tastes similar to chicken.
Habitat
The Jitterbug is most commonly located in grassy woodlands, swamps, and any bushy locations with rusting foliage. They reside closer to areas with blooming flora and active fauna, being active aspects of the food chain. They’re known to live within the bushes they eat from, creating odd little nests for themselves out of brambles and branches within.
Temperament & Behaviors
These are friendly, but exorbitantly loud creatures. They’ve habit to coo and chirp at any thing that interests them, whether it be a friendly bug on the ground, or a descendent stumbling upon their little domains. Upon being given food by a descendent, they will follow around their new ‘friend’, chirping for more food to be given to them. The Jitterbug is known to follow at will, and lacks any sort of response to threats. This makes Jitterbug easy prey for animals larger than it.
Jitterbug’s are also known to have snouts covered in pollen, where while they sniff out their next meal, they cause flowers to be pollinated, similar to how bees spread pollen.
Redlines:
- The Jitterbug cannot cause harm, and therefore cannot be used in CRP.

Anatomy & Appearance
The Pygmy Flint Lizard is a small, scaled, winged creature. It looks akin to a crocodile skink, yet also dragon-like in appearance. They have too-large, bulging eyes that stick out of their heads, that always have a black patch beneath them. Down their backs they have raised spines, and their scales are small and spiky. Small horns perk from their heads, completely harmless and unable to break skin. They are tiny creatures that are only about 3-8 inches in length. Their wingspan correlates to their length, being their body’s length with 1 inch added on. Their diet ranges from small bugs to small rodents depending on their size, but are known to attempt to stick gemstones and jewelry into their mouths.Image of an oceanside Pygmy Flint Lizard
The Pygmy Flint Lizard comes in a variety of colors, which is based on where they’ve hatched from. How these colors coordinate with locations are listed below.
Brown - Woodland
Beige - Plains
Lime-Green - Jungle
Dark Green - Swamp
Yellow - Desert
Red - Firelands
Blue - Oceanside
SpoilerHabitat
The Pygmy Flint Lizard is found in most biomes and locations. The one that they cannot naturally survive in though, is icy and snow-filled locations. Their natural colors correlate with the location they have been hatched in, but their location they are hatched in is not always the one they are found in. They adapt easily to their location, and wander quite often.
Temperament & Behaviors
The Pygmy Flint Lizard is friendly at best, and irritable at worst. They are drawn to shining objects; jewelry, gold and mina.They are known to hoard the little bits of shiny objects they collect, although these are never very large amounts. They are also known to keep a piece of flint in their mouth. With this flint, they scratch it against their teeth, and cause small sparks, hence their name.
The Lizard is a solitary creature, rarely found with others of their kind near them. Their homes are small nests dug into the ground, hiding their miniscule hordes from the open world. Yet even if they rarely interact with their kind, they are able to be tamed and kept by descendents. Being brought to other treasures to guard, such as a ladies jewelry box, they will gladly oblige. The Lizard will require something else though, something to keep it warm during colder nights- something like access to a fire, or, a lantern with a plate atop it.
Redlines:
-The Pygmy Flint Lizard is unable to cause injury or harm to descendants, and therefore cannot be used in CRP.
-They cannot live in cold, snowy, or icy areas without access to warmth.
-The sparks made by the Pygmy Flint Lizard cannot cause fires.

This smaller of the two subspecies is able to be taken as a pet, as its harmless. the larger of the two cannot be tamed nor taken as a pet, since it's violent.

Anatomy & Appearance
The creature most-known as the Spideer, due to its spider and deer like appearance, can be split between two subspecies, referred to as Spideer Minimus and Spideer Maximus.
All Spideer have the appearance of deer, most akin to the Fallow deer. All Spideer have fur colored one of the following- black, blue, purple, or grey. No matter the color, it is always dark. Along their backs are freckled spots, lighter than that of what their primary fur color is; grey on black, lavender on purple, and so-on. The females of each subspecies are slightly larger than the males, and both bear small, black, straight horns atop their heads. Both subspecies have eight hooved legs, and six sets of eyes (with the forefront two being larger). These eyes may be black or white in color; they bear a faint glow, allowing Spideer to see easier within the dark.
All Spideer have the capability to spin webs. The webs of the Spideer Minimus are akin to cobwebs; this is a trait that they have no use for. The webs of the Spideer Maximus are much larger, and stickier. This trait they still use for the capture of prey.
Image of a Spideer Minimus male
The female Spideer Minimus is larger than the male, with sizes of about 13-14 inches tall at the shoulder, 30-33 inches in length, and 25-39 pounds. Male Minimus’ are 8-12 inches tall at the shoulder, 22-28 inches in length, and 13-20 pounds. The diet of the Spideer Minimus is composed of vegetation, acorns, nuts, berries, and occasionally small rodents. Compared to the Maximus, the Spideer Minimus naturally looks more 'fawn-like' than their kin.
Image of a Spideer Maximus female
Akin to the Spideer Minimus, Spideer Maximus are the larger of the two subspecies. Female Maximus’ are found 33-37 inches tall at the shoulder, 55-63 inches in length, and 130-220 pounds. Male Maximus’ are 30-33 inches tall at the shoulder, 51-59 inches in length, and range between 66-110 pounds. Their diet is primarily rabbits and mice, although the Spideer Maximus has been found with the remains of larger creatures nearby.
The Spideer Maximus, unlike the Minimus, is able to spit an acidic venom from the mouth. This venom will irritate the flesh of the average descendent upon contact with bare-skin; yet, should one be caught as prey, the amount of venom applied is far more and can seriously injure or kill. Able to melt through steel/iron/alloyed armor within 3 emotes, leather in 1. Burning through to the bone in an additional 3 emotes. Tissue left after the fact quickly becomes necrotic.
Habitat
The Spideer Minimus can be found within woodland forests with nearby caves, and areas with a high population of voidal mages, or voidal magic occurring.
The Spideer Maximus can only be found in deep underground caves, and voidally corrupt locations. They are the dominant subspecies within these areas.
Temperament & Behaviors
The Spideer Minimus’ and Maximus’ are often found in small groups; this is referred to as a brood. The females of each subspecies are the dominant gender, but are still the ones to care for the young.
The Spideer Minimus is known to be a friendly, sweet, but incredibly jealous creature. Should one be taken as a pet and put in the same quarters as another pet, it will attempt to compete against the other creature. When taken into a home, the Minimus will spin webs to be found around the house, and will increasingly grow upset when their creations are cleaned up. The Minimus will often attempt to attack smaller creatures than it, but when threatened by a creature larger than it, it will flee to a safe area.
The Spideer Maximus is a threatening, territorial beast. They will attack any who enter what they deem as their territory, and will focus all their attention on intruders. Should an intruder be caught in their webs, their attention will very quickly shift on that one individual, ignoring all others that they may have come with.
Redlines:
- The Spideer Maximus is strictly an Event creature, played by ET, and therefore cannot be tamed.
- The Spideer Minimus, if taken as a pet, cannot be used in CRP.
- The ‘poison’ of Spideer cannot be harvested, it is a fast decaying compound.
- Albinism cannot occur in Spideer.
- The glow of a Spideers eye cannot emit enough light for a descendent to see with.

Coiled & Crushed, Teagen White
The Dame, the Rabbit, a teen hardly even twenty stood. Her frame creaked with heavy plate, dark green draped over her then-recently injured shoulder. “Keep going!” The elfess barked out, watching her men practice. Arms crossed, and she waited. Few remembered these times, yet it always was something that echoed in the back of her mind.
Now a bartender, the one, simply Athri, stood behind a bar. She’d clean glasses, and wipe down counters. Wipe her brow as she moves along with her duties. Belrose, the name she’d taken on, hung outside of a shop just outside the tavern; a tailor shop. She leaves the tavern, and is sent to the ground. A burly figure covered in plate was on top of her. She was grabbed, pulled along to the Grotto’s oceanside as she fought with the little strength she kept.
She’d lost an eye that day.
Athri kept on. She explored this new world- Almaris, whilst taking on new duties. Stewardry, and she had begun to dip her toes into politics. Soon enough it felt too much, and she’d left her home. She moved from Talons, to Sutica, when it had still stood. An accident, she burnt her face. Replaced her missing eye. Purple, that one was. It matched the eye of the person she grew to resent.
She retook her name. Onfroi; the one she was proud of. She remained the last, then. Only a brother she had, though he was someone she seldom saw. And she took on the last name of her found sister. Maelstorm, the name of the then Monarch of Vortice. She removed the eye she had- she hated it then. Athri had taken in a child around then too. Yeviana, she’d be called, though most often, just Yev. Though never quite her choice entirely, she’d tried.
And then her sister was dead. The role of Monarch fell to her, though that role was never one particularly enjoyed. The four years filled with sleepless nights and quiet talks behind closed doors never felt like they’d gone away. Her position she abandoned once more, for she felt had she stayed, she would have ended up as her own sister had.
After, many years were spent wandering. First Yong-Ping, then other, various cities. Athri went around the world, idly, as she felt in a fog. And then something happened- tricked, she was turned into a Corcitură. So she continued her wandering, all too afraid to seek help, and all too reluctant to settle.
Though she did settle, Velen. Short-lived, though she’d met one she’d liked. Soon, she sought out a home in Celia’nor.
She sat, her head hung lowly. A bird left her tower window with a letter affixed to its leg. A child lay napping in a room nearby. She felt woozy- dizzy, absolutely terrible. A headache pounded. She went between sweating and freezing with the blink of each metallic eye. Beneath them were heavy bags; a lack of sleep for days on end, yet sleep was something of a rare occurrence, one that she treasured, but lacked.
“So tired.” She thought. Yet she felt heavy. Her limbs ached. It felt as if weights had been put upon her voidally-plagued body. She could hardly move now. The words she’d been writing on each page in front of her bled with black ink, each piece incoherent and merely scribbles at this point. Inkblots rather than lines of text. Sentences that meant nothing. Were nothing. Nothing but things she could not understand any longer. They made her recall an old crow- she’d wonder if he still lived, after all this time. Yet even his name was just a blur in her foggy mind.
Athri Onfroi pushed herself from her desk, stumbling over to her bed, where she would slumber.
Yet, she would never wake.
That young child though, she would wake. Her eyes blurred from the new bright light of this next day, yet something about this felt wrong. Eerie silence overtook her little home, the home she’d always known. How it was just her and her mother, she’d known nothing else. The glass of bottles no longer clinked, nor the flipping of leather-bound parchment and the scribble of charcoal upon it. The slicing of scissors through fabric ceased, and the gentle tings of needles being dropped against wooden floors.
Her mother would never leave her- couldn’t. Anywhere the woman went, the child followed blindly. Often, it was to only collect bread, for she knew her mother could never bake. She dressed herself anew in the clothes that had been made for her.
Crescence entered her mother’s room.
But one letter was sent out, during the days just before; of course, news could begin to spread soon after through the grapevine.
Spoiler“Lly, it’s hard to write currently. Can we speak soon? The coming days hopefully. Though I can’t seem to keep track of the time anymore. It all feels fuzzy right now. -Athri”

Athri gave some slight nods at the missive. "Brave to judge their chapels." She'd laugh to herself, moving on to place the missive into a book, and thereon into a bookshelf within the Velenic library.

PENNED BY A HAND
5th of The Amber Cold, Y. 94 S.A.
You speak of what you believe is truth. Some may be true, others, false. Yet these truths at least I shall embrace. No longer do I wish to hide under metal chain and lock; but that is the way this world works. The ‘lies’ that have been told are the only truth there is. The truth that you pray on is the only lie there is. Is that why you wish for war? Is the truth too much to bear? For the visions that have been shown are the truth;
The truth that your God is dead?
Your acts will bring your own end. You wish to die, that will be brought upon those who attempt to harm those of Serheim. You are too weak to bear these truths, and your weakness brings on this urge. This urge to die. The bodies that will remain on our lands will only aid our endeavors. You will threaten the burning of my, our bodies as what will bring our retribution. The only bodies that remain shall be your own, frozen and kept within our vault for our own uses. The deaths of your men and women shall be honored naught. For they shall not receive burial. They shall not receive graves. They shall not receive honor. Your dead God has no honor. Your dead God is the epitome of shame. When has your God protected you? Your people have died of plague, disease, pestilence, yet no intervention.
The only reason he wouldn’t protect you is if he were gone.
Signed,
Pestilence

A missive seems to have been hung out around Almaris; many extra copies hung in the white-blanketed North. Haense, Norland, even within old abandoned Fenn. The paper read pressed and new, with ink black as night, and all penned by the same hand.
“I am looking for a man named Eusebi. I will pay five-hundred minae to anyone who can bring him to me alive. It is an urgent affair, and I hope for it to be soon.
The man is tall, having black greying hair, a dark beard, and very pale skin. Notably, his eyes are the color of a dark red wine.
If he is given to me as a corpse, the minae count will be dropped to one-hundred. I will take birds if more information is required to aid his capture, or if he happens to be found. There are no exceptions to the minae price if he happens to be dead.
If you see this, your still-living child expects a letter.
Signed,
Pestilence"

[✓] [Creature Lore] Spideer
in Non-Playable Creatures/Event Creatures
Posted
I'm mostly unfamiliar with Alchemical reagents, items, etc, but I've had ideas of adding alchemical aspects to the creature's i've been writing- as of now the webs have no use.
These little hellish dudes would definitely be able to be a sort of 'sign' of voidal related presences, but I do not think objects/beings that react to voidal energies would have any real affect. Void opposed factions can make their own choice on whether or not they find these guys to be offensive to them, besides having something like faint relations to the void.
And ask away! I'm planning on writing more, so I'd love critique's/ideas.
