### The Dokufu, Mountain Spider, Evil Shapechanger

</div>

These Ancient creatures have existed before the great schism of Material and Spirit but they were already corrupted before the times of the Dragon Gods. They are massive spiders with incredible intelligence that generally live in the deepest caverns of the world and they are masters of domination and illusion. They manipulate people and prey to fall into deadly traps or fight amongst each other. They typically eat their prey after implanting eggs so the young can thrive in their digestive tracts. The presence of a Dokufu lair is easily spotted; web's can be seen everywhere, covering the entire terrains, and swarms of large spiders become increasingly frequent. The air begins to assume a greyish pallor after three weeks.

### Weaknesses and Traits in Zhen

***Metal-Lacing:***
The incredible carapace that the Dokufu grows is mostly chitin, though it is hardened and expanded by its consumption of metal, typically through soldiers that it preys on. Due to it's metallic nature, however, metal-lacers can rip off pieces of the exoskeleton or attempt to control the Dokufu.  
***Strip Metal.***
As an Action a metal-lacer may force a Dokufu to make a Constitution Saving Throw. On a failure they may reduce the Dokufu's AC by up to 1 per size category above Medium.  
***Restrain or Control.*** 
So long as a Dokufu has not been stripped of metal, a metal-lacer may use an Action or forego an attack to force a Dokufu to make a Strength Saving Throw. On a failure the Dokufu counts as Grappled. They may attempt the ability on their next action to change Grappled to Restrained. A Dokufu may attempt to break these effects as an Action.
***Adamantine.***
A Dokufu that consumes Adamantine Ore, weapons, or armors becomes immune to crits, Strip Metal, and Restrain/Control.

### Storm Mephits

Each swarm of Storm Mephits contains a multitude of these raving, ferocious elementals. Storm Mephits thrive when they travel within the safety of clouds, though they prefer lightning storms. These storms provide a safe haven that empower the Mephits, and can even contain portals into the Elemental Planes.    
___
While Storm Mephits can come down to the ground to hunt for sport or loot, they typically ambush airships and flying creatures that fly into a cloud made of the mischievous creatures. 
___
Storm Mephits have been known to destroy even the mightiest of airships when gathered into large enough groups, though in smaller groups they are  still a danger, and clever enough to use their control of lightning and magnetic abilities to pull creatures off of the ship and send them plummeting to the terrain below.

<div class='descriptive'>
 
 ##### Positive and Negative Charge Effects

After one minute or when the Swarm is destroyed, a creature loses its charge.

**While within 10 ft. of each other, creatures with same charge types have the following effects.*

* They suffer disadvantage on attack rolls.
* They must make a DC 16 Str Check or be pushed until they over 10 ft. away. This check occurs when a creature starts their turn or moves within 10 ft of the other creature.  
___
*While within 10 ft. of each other, creatures with opposite charge types have the following effects.*

* They must make a DC 16 Str. Save or be pulled 10 ft. closer to the other creature, each taking 2d6 Bludgeoning damage on a collision.  When a creature fails this save and collides with another creature, they become restrained. This check occurs when a creature starts their turn or moves within 10 ft. of the other creature.
 
 </div>

> ##### Variant: Storm Summoning.

## The Peacemaker

Silent as a feather and intent on silencing anything louder, these demons are a nightmare to any living creature. These creatures are described as tall, stalking, and fleshy, intent on quelling any source of revelry and cheer. Often they are seen amidst ruined environments, covered in dead animals, ripped apart shrubbery or branches, or in homes surrounded by human viscera.

### Behavior
Only in silence are these creatures calm, usually hovering mere feet above the ground. At any sound, these demons find the quickest path to the source and seek to immediately end it, typically with claw or teeth. Even though they are blind, their increased capacity for hearing and ability to detect minute sounds means they may be able to see you better than you can see them.

### Strategies
While vulnerable in theory; possessing very few defenses in open areas and at range, their true threat is found when they find their way inside of structures such as homes and stores. There they cannot be taken out without entering the home, which often ends up alerting the creatures. They will then rampage, often causing any civilians inside to inadvertently expose themselves to slaughter, or causing your carefully planned ambush to end in a personal bloodbath.  
___
Sadly, these creatures are rarely single entities, usually swarming onto settlements with numbers in the dozens. It is unknown what warps souls into such creatures, but it must be an evil force indeed.
