Description

The Cruexian are terrible monstrosities that wander the Osseus Wastes looking for things to kill and assimilate. They were created after mages tried to fuse living specimens with metal and fire magic creating giant suits of armor powered by heat. Naturally, these experiments never went as planned and that resulted in many of these creatures being born and then teleported to the Osseus Wastes. After they were sent to the Wastes as a constantly melting mass of iron, silver and sinew, they required heat to live and dig miles underground to heat themselves up, sometimes consuming magic gemstones that enhance their power. Others stay on the topside and wander the red sands to kill and consume any creature they see.

Whenever one of these creatures are encountered, the DM should roll a flat d6 to decide what type of Cruexian spawns.


1- Normal Cruexian. Nothing is gained.

2-Fire Cruexian. Tenacious Flesh ability changed.
