Orc Knight
Auror
Just a post it thread for some of the stranger things in your world. Given this is fantasy, it can be as weird as hell or just something that sticks out in particular for you. And I'll start it off with one of Eld's stranger things. Something from D&D originally (or a story at least) as Eld started based on D&D and Pathfinder in particular.
The Dread Gazebo's of Eld
The gazebo. Not exactly bringing notes of fear or terror. But on Eld there stalks a type of predatory construct that's particular form is that of a gazebo. Part predatory plant and part sylvanwood construct with sentience. They tend to resemble gazebo's with with white painted wood and trellis screens of ivy and flowers with a table in the middle of it. That can usually be found in mysterious clearings, city parks and even part noble lawns or area's where archers practice.
It has a more mobile form to move from place to place, turning it into a walking spider like thing made of wood and plants. It is also the same form it takes when it feels it is truly in trouble. Which happens rarely, if ever. It is an ambush predator, despite being a construct and it's plants feed on the meat, bone and marrow. The warriors of Eld are ever ready to avoid it or fight it, especially those that have collected many trophies. When at rest it waits for the unwary and binds them in vines as it grows teeth and it's many plants rip and tear through the poor soul or souls caught in it. Once fed it waits a few days before moving on.
It's favorite food is archers. Especially that one unwary one who thinks a gazebo might be dangerous and therefore fill it with arrows. Most think they came about either by drow, goblins or a particularly fiendish wood elf. Few are seen, but when they are they are best avoided.
