Octaria Pulnassea's notes: 6 - Mylgadilac

 

A strange and huge purple furry sloth on the outskirts of a mountain village, the locals call it

Mylgadilac


 
The creature is larger than a large brown bear, its fur is thick, shiny and purple, it sparks in the light, giving the impression of a dark purple starry sky.
It dwells on a wide cave, which from a distance appears to be covered with pin cushion moss of the same purple color as its fur.  
 
Their eyes are incandescent in nature and look, to the naked eye, like two spheres of hot, glowing gold.
Their claws are long and thick as a child’s arm, they look as polished silver, although whether they are of this material is hard to tell from a distance.

 

 

There is not much that can be found out about the creature because approaching it seems impossible and only an inspection from afar is feasible.
The Mylgadilac has caught the attention of the townsfolk for the strange events that surround it and its cave.
If one gets closer than one hundred feet from it, a slumber seizes the body, and if one does not retreat to a safer place, then a deep sleep overtakes the body. In this state the dreams one has are a strange thing, for they seem alien, and from time to time one has the recollection of being part of the dreams of other creatures sleeping around the Mylgadilac.
A group of travelers who fell prey to this enchantment claim to have shared their dreams, and also an old woman sleeping near the cave claims to have experienced the dreams of her horse.
In my research I could only get close to the cave once, when the Mylgadilac was out foraging for food, and even without its presence I have to maintain myself awake using special tonics and potions. On this excursion, I was able to pick up some of the purple cushion moss, which by itself has a similar effect, but milder, than that caused by proximity to the creature.

 

 

Alchemical uses:

The purple cushion moss, if kept alive, can help with insomnia if placed near the bed.
But its use in creatures without insomnia can make them to sleep more deeply, and make them harder to awaken.

The purple cushion moss has small specks embedded in it, resembling grains of white sand.
Working with these specks is extremely difficult because at touch they have a stronger somniferous effect than the moss.
If they are press between the naked skin of a awaken creature and a sleeping one, it allows the awaken one to see glimpses of the dreams of the one who sleeps. If this is done for more than a few minutes it can lead to the awakened creature to become lost in the dreams of the sleeper. In this state any injury acquired in the dream becomes real.

Octaria Pulnassea's notes: 4 - Ciafilo

Imagen
  A live example of a very elusive specimen, a large one-eyed bird, known by the locals of the village where it was captured as Ciafilo           The Ciafilo is a large black and white bird , about the size of a medium-sized dog, with one yellow eye and an astounding crown of feathers that react to sound.   All its feathers have an almost metallic coloration, which gives them certain reflective quality. They are incredibly durable and flexible and even fire does not damage them.   Its beak is of a copper like material, and has six small holes from which a golden steam seems to emanate.     The people of the far western village, where the Ciafilo was captured, say that the bird is responsible for the strange behavior displayed by the inhabitants of their region in winter . According to them the bird, fleeing from the cold, is attracted by the warmth of the town, and in its presence, a golden mist begins to overtake the streets....

Octaria Pulnassea's notes: 1 - Oily Muzzled Blind Specter

Imagen
Pieces brought from the north, still fresh, the third and fourth of a collection that seems to be part of the same creature, the   Oily Muzzled Blind Specter     Flesh regrows over the bone . The bone repairs itself, the cracks disappear by melting away with time. The creature must regenerate itself at a fast rate. Muscle are hard, and on close inspection their fibers are something closer to thin wires of copper. At normal bonfire temperatures muscle and bone become liquid, but when cold they recover their form. A strange organ was recovered from the creature, the size of a human head, run by veins, with the appearance of a strange heart. When liquid passes through it, it freezes it, and the organ becomes extremely hot.   Folk tales speak of a creature with thick, oily fur, no visible eyes, a long bearded muzzle held by a telescopic neck, and spiked hooves that can impale a human torso , these tales also say that it lives in grasslands within small burrows, an...
