Description
This hulking, magically and naturally bound pile of rocks and boulders is slow-moving, but it somehow moves with grace and care. An entire environment of trees and various plants grows upon it's hunched back, the chittering and calls of many mammals and birds that have taken refuge or made a home of it.
As far as it knows, Zelachi has only wandered the lands, picking up rocks, plants, and various critters and creatures of the lands it travels, with no memory of it's original task, if it had any. Some theorize it came from an ancient city, making Zelachi centuries old. Others ponder if Zelachi was born of Fey magics, or a Druid's spell gone awry.
Regardless of it's origin, Zelachi's existence has been the subject of many a children's memories as Zelachi guides them out of dangerous wilds, a horrible adversary to any evil that crosses it's path, and a great help to many caravans in need of navigation.
Construct Nature. Zelachi, the Wandering Mountain doesn't require food, water, air, or sleep.

Posted Mar 18, 2022Footnote: This NPC is avaliable to anyone who wants to use it! I am starting a series of very ambiguous and open-ended NPCs that you can simply slot into your campaigns with no issue, and use them as you will! Zelachi here would most liekly be well suited for a fetch-quest or a mystery solving quest. What is it's origin? Can the party help find it's true purpose?
