Description

Large skeletal like felines (most likely mountain lions or panthers) that have the appearance of having dead leaves and vines intertwined with there bones. Unlike many undead, they are intelligent and neutral creatures, some even praise them. Finding one natural only comes once per year for they only arrive in a group of three at the end of summer, frolicking and hunting together while accompanied by the Fall Knight, there are even celebrations that are thrown at there sighting, for it is believed they bring the Autumn months as the greenery appears to change wherever they go. Though they only become a problem when they are summoned at the wrong time by sorceress, when this happens they will find a forested spot to wait until there master comes, they will be stubborn to move and there mere presence will unintentionally warp the surrounding plants into a early autumn, potentially causing damage to a towns crop.

  • Trees and plants will begin to go through a pre Autumn within 2 miles of the lair.
  • The air will gradually get cooler as you get closer to the area, to the point where you can see your breath.
  • Within the lair, plant spells will automatically fail, and be at disadvantage when 2 miles from the lair.
  • leaves will build up around the base of the trees in the lair, causing 5 to 10 ft. of rough terrain, Autumn Walker won’t be affected. 2 miles outside the lair, leaves will making finding tracks harder.
  • Affected plants will be dried out, causing them to be highly flammable and trees to be punctured easily with sharp objects giving advantage on climbing.
