MIND APES, BOTTLE-WIGHTS, PEOPLE of DUST, KIKIMORA, HARBINGER MOTHS, and TWINLINGS


MIND APE (4HD)
telepathic, its brain is exposed within a glass cylinder. blasts you with its mind bullets. whenever it uses psychic powers, there’s a 1-in-3 chance its brain will explode.

BOTTLE-WIGHT
a tall figure, its head enclosed in a glass shell, opaque. it attacks and grabs with long spindly claws. if the shell is broken, it reveals a second shell, transparent. inside that- a button, on a third shell, this one filled with blue liquid. If the button is depressed, the third shell comes loose, and the wight collapses. On the next turns the liquid turns purple, then red, then it explodes into 3 stars. each star cuts its way into a nearby target. A maker of bottle-wights is called a bottler.

the KIKIMORA
KIKIMORA (1HD)
(group: 1 lv3 kikimora in 300)
filthy tiny women, veiled, with long sharp twisted faces, living in secret among humans. very polite, doing good deeds. They love liquor. If mistreated, will break things, cause mischief, gather, and try to murder their hosts.

HARBINGER MOTHS prefigure some event by d4 days, depending on their color, they may indicate coming storms, political strife, good fortune, plague - a black swarm indicates the discoverer's death.

TWINLING
(group: a lv3 twinling in 3, a lv5 in 6, a lv7 twinling maven in 9)
a little girl in a black and white dress. has a one-in-three chance to see you, even standing right in front of her. once she’s seen you, she goes and gets the others - moving on all fours like a spider or a cat. cuts at you with her claws. steals you away, to see the maven. speaks TWILL, the language of birds.
A TWINLING MAVEN, a woman all in red, with eyes that are all-black orbs; speaks TWILL and COMMON. is of two minds. can bisect things at will - splitting them neatly and evenly in two, with each half retaining 50% of the characteristics of the whole.
