The Chimera

This creature was being held captive by Possiogn when encountered at ShadowWall. Other research tells me that the Chimera of legend is from the Aruun, and is said to be the only one. However, the one encountered seems to be a young creature. This strange being looked like a conglomeration of different creatures. It had leathery wings, horns across the spine of its back and shoulders, a long serpentine tail, rear hooves like a horse, front paws like a great cat, and three heads. One head was certainly draconic; the center head was feline, like a tiger or lioness; the third head was that of a goat with dark fur. Each of these faces had a look of fear and intelligence that was disturbing. Overall, the beast was as tall as an elf at the shoulder, as long as a Dorn from neck to shanks, and heavy enough to require two boro to pull the cart.

Spider-Elf

Rumors abound about a group of dwarves who encountered strange spiders in the Kaladruns with distorted and disturbing elvish body parts. These were black-skinned and seemed to be fused with the spider's body. Something matching this description was being held captive by Possiogn when encountered at ShadowWall. This creature, however, was fearsome in its beauty. The elf body, extant from the pelvis upward, seemed to be growing where the spider's face is usually found. With the 8 spider legs and two humanoid arms, it looked fully capable of virtually anything that either origin creature may attempt. Upon dissection, it became clear that the amalgamation did not end at the simple conjoining, but extended to every part of the creature's structure. Within the mouth were found very long, extendable fangs just behind the normal row of teeth. The jaw opened suprisingly wide, making it possible for this creature to bit ahold of any size of creature with fangs that were capable of exuding very caustic poison. The poison sacs were found in the base of the spider torso. Each was slightly larger than a human's head and very full of poison that was capable of dissolving wood and other organic material tested. The poison had a milky white consistancy and smelled of mineral.

When encountered the creature spoke Danisil and seemed to be in agony, requesting that we kill him. We were obliging before it became evident whether he was as naturally capable with magic as his kin of likeness.
