Wilding

Wildings are creatures native to the Outer Wilds. Although the Wilds are also home to many sorcerous Abominations, the edges of the Wilds fill the vast space between and beyond the other sorcerous planes. As such, the creatures native to the Outer Wilds, known as Wildings, vary greatly in their appearance, abilities, and dispositions.

Template Bonuses

Wildings can be created using the base template stats and special abilities of any other type of Outsider, but cannot be called upon by summoners - Abominations, as creatures inherently twisted by Sorcery, are more accessible by such spells.

Wildings have a base Movement Speed value of 6.

Wildings

Rank 2

Pacthound

About twice the size of a wolf, these Wilding beasts are intelligent subordinates of The Wolf. When hunting, they tread swiftly in eerie silence, using telepathy to coordinate the pack's movements - but when the hunt is successful, they can be heard from miles away as they howl their triumph. These creatures are considered 'blessed' by the Cult of The Wolf.

Rank 3

Mistfiend

Wraiths native to the mistlands of Morpheus. Mistfiends appear as a slightly more solid mist of varying shapes and sizes - almost like some sort of air elemental, but instead formed of sorcerous magic from the Outer Wilds. They thrive in foggy areas and are often drawn to the mist that follows Dullahan. The two species of outsider seem to coexist well enough, likely because the Mistfiends are considerably less intelligent and driven.

Rank 5

Dullahan

Native to the realm of Morpheus, the Dullahan is a purveyor of power and death. Appearing as a hooded humanoid astride a four-legged mount, a Dullahan gains power from those that it kills. After taking the head of an enemy as a trophy, the Dullahan can then “wear” it as its own face, gaining access to the enemy’s knowledge and power for a time until the face eventually degrades.

Epigone

This avid hunter uses a combination of illusion magic and mimicry to deceive its favored food source: mortals. Epigones tend to single out their prey, stalking and studying their movements until it knows the target inside and out, to the point that sometimes the Epigone will be able to perfectly mimic its prey in mannerisms, movement, or speech pattern. Their most powerful ability can render a target insensate for days, allowing the Epigone to take the prey back to its lair, where it can choose to glut itself in safety or keep its prey captive as a source of fuel for its transformation ability. As long as it has a viable biological sample, the Epigone can use magic to take on the perfect likeness of its captive to help it infiltrate a nearby settlement or community.

Geminos

The Geminos, also referred to as a Twin Demon or “Halfa” (slang for “half-of-a-whole”), is an extremely rare creature that has been exclusively encountered in linked pairs. They are considered “linked” in that there appears to be some sort of direct mental, emotional, and spiritual connection between the paired Geminos. Each Halfa is fully aware of what is happening to the other at any given moment; the only exception being if one is conscious and the other is not. If separated from one another by great distance or physical death, one of the twins can bring the other’s consciousness into their own mind and use its own flesh to generate a new body for the other.

Thunderbird

Creatures of legend, these enormous avian creatures from the Domain of Storms are said to cloak themselves in storm clouds and siphon energy from lightning strikes. They are also said to be capable of beating their wings hard enough to level mountains.
