Description
Most Arcanaloths, jackal or vulpine-looking yugoloths known for their arcane prowess and vast knowledge, are content gaining power by themselves. One Arcanaloth, however, saw the value of having minions at its beckoning call, though it showed displeasure at the fiendish monster races, considering them barbaric and unequal to its arcane ability to be considered suitable. Looking for a solution, the Arcanaloth in question managed to achieve a suitable result and so the Arcanaling was born.
Arcanalings are formed when the Arcanaloth is capable and powerful enough to form a physical copy of itself and imbue it with its own magic, fuelling it. Being a creature embroiled with magic and physical form, the Arcanaling can tap into it to embue itself physically and power up its spellcasting beyond its normal limitations. However, there are a few caveats - for one, it is not permanent, and furthermore, an Arcanaling lacks the scope and depth that a true Arcanaloth possesses. For example, though an Arcanaloth is able to cast Fireball quite easily, an Arcanaling can only do so when it merges with the Element of Flames - an action that is not necessarily guarenteed, due to the mix of magic within the Arcanaling's form.
The relationship between an Arcanaling and the Arcanaloth it is formed from will differ depending on what the Arcanaloth desires. Often, they will be treated as minions, sent to guard or look for a specific object; sometimes they are assistants, helping their Arcanaloth write down research, maybe even becoming the experiment. More often than not, however, when an Arcanaloth is drawn into combat, its Arcanalings will be close by to respond to its commands. It is also not uncommon to see more than one Arcanaling under the Arcanaloth's control, though never more than three or four, given their method of creation as well as somewhat rambuctious personality when the Arcanaloth isn't around.
It should also be noted that an Arcanaling could leave the Arcanaloth's service as even though they are created by the Arcanaloth, they are not linked beyond that means. That being said, many choose to remain loyal out of respect as well as fear, but it is always possible to get an Arcanaling to switch alleigances even before they are commanded to fight if you play your cards right - like, perhaps, taking out their Arcanaloth master?
