Homebrew Enlightened Weird Species Details

Unexpected Outcome

Weirds are the products of Mage Collective experiments intended to combine two opposing elemental types in the hope of creating elementals that were more stable than the norm and easier to control. As commonly happens with Collective experiments, the outcome was the exact opposite. Weirds are even wilder and more unpredictable than elementals of either of their component elements. Nevertheless, they can make potent guardian creatures and can be urged into fighting on behalf of their creators.

Enlightened Weird

A enlightened weird is an anthropomorphic genius formed from water and molten rock from the elemental chaos. It absorbs energy from magical fire, causing its oozelike body to increase in size. During one disastrous experiment, collective researchers observed a enlightened weird expanding to fill a six-story workshop before it released all its excess energy in an enormous explosion and returned to its original size.

Strangers to Travel

When given the opportunity, most enlightened weird would prefer the solitude of a laboratory to the great expanse of the outside world. However, always driven by curiosity or the search for a greater meaning, they leave their homes and venture out. Nothing outside there homes is built to contain such creatures, and they tend to leave an obvious trail wherever they wander. This often means turning a beach to glass, or leaving melted shards of ice.

Weird is a Personality

Far be it from anyone to understand why they do what they do, their thought processes can be as strange as they are. Most often you can expect a weird to do the unexpected. This means they have a leaning towards the Chaotic alignment, but most seek to tame these behaviors to function in civilization.
