various more-obscure mythical creatures

(1/41) > >>

vultur:
Presumably lots of creatures from various world mythologies are real in the Dresdenverse; I thought I'd stat out some of the more obscure ones for anyone who wants to use them.

I'll start with some from Cherokee mythology, since I have a good book on that at hand  ;D


Dakwa
A dakwa is an enormous carnivorous fish, large enough to swallow a man whole. The legends tell of them swallowing armed men whole, who then cut their way out from within.

High Concept: Man-Eating Fish
Other Aspects: Scary Big
Always Hungry
Fish Out of Water Don't Do Well

Skills:
Good: Might, Fists
Fair: Endurance, Survival
Average: Intimidation, Alertness

Powers:
Aquatic [-1]
Claws [-1]
Echoes of the Beast [-1]
Hulking Size [-2]
Inhuman Strength [-2]
Inhuman Toughness [-2]
  The Catch: +0 (attacks by swallowed creatures)
Total Refresh Cost: -9

Claws represents its bite, it doesn't actually have claws. Otherwise, just a big, scary killer fish.

Simon Hogwood:
Very nice. Oo, idea - also useful for "Super Mario"-themed areas of the Nevernever.   ;D

Lanodantheon:
Now I want something with the aspect: Don't Feed The Yao Guai

Papa Gruff:
The Kraken
You know it, you love it, you don't wanna hug it.

High Concept: The mighty Kraken
Others: Ships make nice toys; I life 50.000 miles under the sea; You can run, but you can't hide

Skills: Might +7; Endurance +7, Alertness +2, Fists +3

Echoes of the Beast [-1]
Hulking Size [-2]

Mythical Toughness [-6]
   The Catch: Kegs of Gunpowder thrown into its beak [+0]
Inhuman Recovery [-2]
   The Catch: Only works down in the abyss [+0]
Octopus (Customary Power) [-16]
   Each of the Kraken's arms can attack and inflict stress individually, giving this abomination eight attacks per exchange.

Refresh spent: -34 (not sure -16 is enough for the custom power though)

Isn't he adorable? :D

Leatherneck:
Chupacabra

High Concept: Blood sucking hunter
Other:  Catch me if you can

When the Chupacabra screeches the its eyes glow an red and all in hearing suffer nausea (Incite Emotion).  The attack is Intimidation based defended with Discipline.  Those that fail, suffer a sticky aspect, Nauseush.


Note:  This is my first creation with Fate/Dresden.  Anything wrong?

Edit:  fixed Physical stress track.  Added Other aspect, Catch me if you can.
