Creatures of FASA

FASA 365 Day 291, Nigrum Radix Gladio, (Blind Blade of the Black Root), Undead.

A Puppet of the Enchanted Black Root.

The Black Root is the tool of the dark magics. The strings that hold the pieces together and in service of the dark Puppet Master.

Something of the victim is placed in the head cavity of the puppet, whereby the puppet is activated.

Chopping up the puppet is only half measures. The targeted has to break open the head, fight the black roots inside, retrieve the piece embedded within, clean it of all the black root with holy water, quarantine the piece in a jar or sealable pottery, and then pray it never escapes.

Burning won’t help. It won’t burn. Fire, being an element of destruction; only gives it strength.

Killing the puppet master, won’t stop it either. He created it and set it loose. But once that is done, it has no more control over it than you do.

That piece of you is concentrated evil, bent on killing you. IF it ever escapes a new Black Root Puppet will be gathered and attack again.

FASA 365 Day 289, Ursi Bovis, (Bull Bear), Omnivore, 12-15ft

Artist note: I started today with only a silhouette of something very rolly polly. I didn’t know where it was going. The movement or rather the subtle movement of turning the feet in give this creature a very shy and timid stance. Where in opening his stance and opening his arms would give him a far more aggressive look. It’s these little things I love about drawing. The little stuff speaks volumes.

ASA 365 Day 287, Anguilliformes Draco, (Dragon Eel) 30-50ft

Omnivore.

Deep water predator.
