Description
The Brondman has ink-black skin and sunken glowing red eyes. Its physique towers over most humanoids at 10 ft tall, even with its hunched back. It appears malnourished, its ribs poking aggressively at its skin, and every vertebra of its curved spine proudly on display. It has unproportionally long arms that are built for climbing up the well and grabbing its victims from a distance.
The Brondman live in wells and grab people who come to collect water. Humanoids and Animals who die in the well become property of the Brondman, and he can send their spirits into nearby towns to make people sick. When close to death, the ill get the sudden urge to seek out the well, where the Brondman reaps their souls and adds them to its collection.
People of the Church have no power over the Brondman. Only a wisewoman can banish the Brondman and free the captured souls from its service. This is done by placing gold in the well water, supposedly buying off the Brondman who then leaves to find another well.
If the Brondman is killed the souls are also released, and the illnesses of the nearby towns slowly begin to cure. The Brondman can speak although prefers to remain silent.
