Homebrew Eldritch Horrors Species Details

Personality

Eldritch horrors tend to possess emotional states not known to humanoids. This is a being of incomprehensible morality and unfathomable intellect. These emotional states are often also not known to other eldritch horrors. Eldritch horrors that are not maliciously lashing out at the unknown are childishly curious about the world around them and wish to know as much as possible, often journeying with a mixed group to better understand the cultures of the group they travel with and the world at large. They can be very childish, spouting facts at random or repeating interesting words to themselves, but as a result do not always recognize threats approaching or the fact that they are in eminent danger.

Physical Description

Eldritch horrors are a strange amalgam of slug feet, legs, tentacles, arms, antennae, eyestalks, eyes, pincers, slimy skin, carapaces, scales, exposed organs, empty eye sockets burning with rage, exposed bones, and hair. Any given body part is likely to be replaced.

 

Relations

Eldritch horrors are very much the loner sort; they have no particular social attachment to other eldritch horrors, since they are simply spawned by the shifting nature of the far realms. This does not mean that individual eldritch horrors can't become fast friends with members of other races: many eldritch horrors have personality traits that resemble empathy and loyalty.
