Homebrew Cryptor Species Details
Cryptors come alive because some mystical force brings them back to life or they were revived after some grave wounds or almost dead. They are strange creatures. They look like their original race, but with a few missing details. Bones are visible, and there is a strange purple glow around their wounds. Their undead nature allows them to see in the dark. When a Cryptor feels in danger, it will pull out a bone, hurting it. This bone can be used as a club, a boomerang, or a flail. Their life span is shorter, but they can come in all shapes and sizes.
