PaxLair Bestiary – Corpser

Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – May 24, 2011 – by Ashlynn – Being a flailing mass of green tentacles that erupt from the ground to drag surprised prey down into the earth and into its cavernous maw. It is believed the real size of the beast can never be truly known as much of its mass seems to rest within the earth. Whether each corpser is an individual creature or the part of something greater still that hides beneath Sosaria, one can only speculate.

From the Observations of Brune Morrow, Scholar of Britain

Some varieties of corpser are clearly more developed than others of their ilk, being larger and more dangerous to those caught unaware. Their tentacles grow into segmented sections, each as hard as the trunk of a young oak and despite the verdant origins of its mossy teeth, they grow potent enough to chew through even the best iron curaiss the armourers of Trinsic can produce. Despite these enhancements, fire of both the magical and mundane variety is still just as effective, though those seeking to use the strange wood of the creature may be better advised to use an axe unless it is charcoal they seek instead of timber.

I play with movable type on behalf of the PaxLair Times. I sometimes move the little wooden letters around to create something resembling an article. And I come and go like the wind.
