Devourer (28 RP)

History

Devourers are a race of unknown origins but all know historical records depict them as if they were a plague or horde of ravenous locust. Whenever village of any known intelligent species know that a swarm of devourers nests nearby, they begin to evacuate the area knowing that everything left behind will be consumed.


There are very few records of Devourers natural behaviors but there was a brave soul that managed to live in one of their swarms for a few months. His notes say that the Devourers are actually quite the amenable sort so long as they eat properly. The issue is each full grown adult Devourer requires requires up to 3 times its body weight in sustenance each day. I know you would think this wouldn't be too great of an issue for their 2 1/2 Ft. tall stature but an adult male devourer can weigh up to 120 Lbs. It is noted that Devourers often share and stockpile food as a tribalistic clan would but once the stockpile runs dry... well lets just say these notes were recovered and that their creator is no longer with us.


It is rare to ever see a lone Devourer in the world. Some believe the Devourer was shunned from its simplistic and gluttonous society, others believe it became curious of the outside world and all of its scrumptious morsels but no one dare approach ask it, in the not so rare case of the devourer being hungry.

Appearance

The appearance of a Devourer is quite in contrast with their namesake. To an unknowing soul, they would just look like cute, colorful plush balls with stubby little limbs with even stubbier digits. They even appear to have no teeth and speak only using varying cute "POYO" sounds. This is in fact all lie to lower your defenses and let the vile little monsters close enough to suck you into their over-sized mouths and use their retractable teeth to...
