Homebrew Beheaded Species Details

History

No one really knows where the beheaded came from. Many suspect that they are the result of a failed experiment by a wizard many aeons ago. The beheaded is ancient and legendary like the Tarrasque, and legends of its exploits have become urban myths in prisons in the material plane and beyond. The beheaded's most famous act was his murder of the Prison's Tyrant King. After that, it faded into memory. Many regard the beheaded as not one entity, but many, working under the same guise towards the same ends. The beheaded has inspired prisoners across the planes, and many whisper tales of the beheaded, hoping that it will save them. Their hope is in vain, however, as the beheaded feels no pity.

Society

It is unknown whether the beheaded is the only one of its kind. As such, no details about its society are known. It is presumed that the beheaded is solitary and that no others like it exist. Its personality is... odd, to say the least. It is kind and uncaring in equal measures. It cared enough about the tyranny of the King to seek out and kill him, but it is cold enough to leave the few living prisoners on the island in their cells, and it is capable of carrying out horrendous slaughter with no remorse.

Beheaded Names

The beheaded has no name, it is simply the beheaded. Sometimes it may develop variations on this, depending on its moods.

Beheaded Names: The Beheaded, Beheadmiester, Decapitated Disco Dude, Sir Beheaded of Beheadedland
