Looking for Monster Inspiration? How about some monsters that really existed…

Tuunbaq(Inspired by the Dan Simmons novel The Terror)

Description: Polar Bear with long neck

Type: Destroyer

Power: Consumes Souls (killed players may not be restored)

Weakness: The Tuunbaq can be pacified by the throat singing of a sixam ieua (special Inuit shaman), rendering it as close to docile as it can be made. May only be killed by weapons blessed by a sixam ieua.

Attack: Bite 5-Harm

Harm Capacity: 12

Armor:1

The Tuunbaq is a Inuit Demon, a devourer of souls and eater of flesh in the frozen wastes. The Tuunbaq is encountered as a large polar bear with an extended if not elongated neck, and is impervious to non-magical weapons.

Bose-Einstein Condensate Specter (Inspired by the Netflix film Spectral)

Description: Invisible Apparition (Detected by low light technology)

Type: Destroyer

Power: Incorporeal

Weakness: Halted by iron shavings and ceramic materials, harmed by energy weapons, killed if central machine destroyed or shut down.

Attack: Freezing Touch 7-harm, Intimate, Ignore Armor.

Harm Capacity: 7

Armor:0

Apparitions made of Bose-Einstein Condensate, which explains their ability to move through walls and freeze people to death, but also why they are halted by iron shavings and ceramic materials. They are produced by scanning humans on a molecular level and utilizing advanced 3D printing to replicate them in Condensate form. The human test subjects’ brains and central nervous systems were then removed and hooked up to a central machine which keeps the condensate copies (or “apparitions”) alive.

A Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) is a state of matter of a dilute gas of bosons cooled to temperatures very close to absolute zero (that is, very near 0 K or −273.15 °C). Under such conditions, a large fraction of bosons occupy the lowest quantum state, at which point macroscopic quantum phenomena become apparent. It is formed by cooling a gas of extremely low density, about one-hundred-thousandth the density of normal air, to ultra-low temperatures. Due to the unique properties of the condensate, it was shown by Lene Hau that light can either be stopped or slowed down significantly to the velocity of 17 meters per second, resulting in an extremely high refractive index. This state was first predicted, generally, in 1924–25 by Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein.
