[Grouse House Guide] Cataclysms | August Event

Riparian Woodland

Bessie	Kinfolk
	Like a cross between a snake and a fish, the glittering, scaled being before you observes you with a curious gaze. It appears friendly. It sits loosely curled around itself on the ground, shifting back and forth occasionally. It glistens, and smells quite fishy. The creature is huge, and you're certain it could make prey out of you if it wanted. But its eyes are kind, and it leans closer to you with nostrils flaring, taking in your scent. "Furry thing, aren't you? I bet your fur is soft. I need help from a landwalker like you. Won't you help me?"
Flavor text needed "You came back! Thank goodness. I have more for you to do. Are you up for it?" • Defeat 3x the Merged cryptids • Help 3x distressed animals in explore • Find the geyser in the Riparian Woodland
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength Smarts	Slow Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +1 on Retreat, -2 on Chase) Thick Skin (-1 on Shear)

Champ	Kinfolk
	Shimmering blue scales draw your gaze to this serpentine creature. Its nostrils flare and it assesses you curiously. Despite being landbound, Champ appears quite comfortable as it spreads its length on the bank and soaks up the sun. The blue of its scales seem to shift and change with the river as it flows, and you're sure that once this creature disappears beneath the water, it's untrackable. "Oh! You're small, aren't you? But I bet you're fast, and time is of the essence. I'm slow on land. Care to help me out?"
Flavor text needed "You're a good soul to come back. I knew asking you was the right thing to do. Ready for the next task?" • Give 3x carcasses • Find the blocked river in the Riparian Woodland • Give 5x random items (specific items needed will be randomized between Acorns, Dandelion, Healing Salves, St. John's Wort, Blue Jay Feathers, Mollusk Shells)

Dewey Lake Monster	Kinfolk
	Shaggy hair flops in front of glowing eyes, and a large ape-like creature rises to its feet in front of you. The eyes are kind, and you sense no malice from the creature. Moving from tree to tree, the creature seems to be inspecting the health of each. Gently touching leaves, sniffing the bark, and feeling the soil around the roots. The care it shows to the land is admirable. "Hello there, fellow traveler. If you aren't too busy looking after your pack, would you help me? The situation in the world is grave."

Altamaha-ha	The Merged
	Large and reptilian-like, this fearsome creature glares down at you with eyes full of malice. A hiss comes from its mouth and you hesitate for a moment. The creature sprawls in the river, blocking the flow of the water and quite clearly not giving a damn. Fish frantically try to find a way around, and with an evil grin they are snatched up and swallowed whole. "Oh look, another land-dweller comes to beg for mercy. Well I won't give it if your performance is anything but perfect. Either agree or be eaten, hmm?"
Altamaha-ha sits very still on the shore, tail raised as if to strike. Suddenly its tail smacks the water harshly and you see a fish float to the surface, unsure if it's dead or just stunned. Either way Altamaha-ha lifts its tail and watches the fish float down river. Flavor text needed • Succeed 2x hunts

Goatman	The Merged
	Not only does this dark, horned being look like a demon but you're also completely certain that it is one. As if its appearance wasn't enough, it's carrying a used–but clearly still sharp–axe with visible stains of dried blood. A self-confident smirk of the black Goatman sends a chill down your spine. You wouldn't be surprised if when you let it out of your sight, it would go terrorize the area. The creature starts approaching you, tightening the grip on its axe and clearly enjoying the fear in your eyes. "You there! You're not going anywhere unless I let you go. Complete some tasks for me first. Or maybe you'd like to be eaten on the spot?"
Flavor text needed "I was sure that you'd try to run away but you came back. You're either very brave or very stupid but useful in both cases. Don't relax yet, you're still not free to go. There's more to do." • Defeat 1x Blacktailed Buck • Find someone distressed in the Riparian Woodland • Defeat 3x Kinfolk cryptids
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength Smarts	Large Prey Opponent (+1 on Snarl) Prey Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +2 on Chase, +2 on Retreat) Soft Skin (+1 on Shear)

Pope Lick Monster	The Merged
	A bizarre, two-legged goat creature stands in front of you, sniffing the air. Long, ruffled fur around its neck looks almost like a mane, making it look significantly bigger and more imposing. The muscular chest of the beast is rising and falling slowly. The strangest thing you notice are strong, sharp claws at the end of the creature's long, five-fingered forelimbs. It's definitely not a herbivore. "If you didn't want to help, you would be running back already. Are you with me or against me?"
Flavor text needed "Doing this stuff is addicting, isn't it? I suppose there's worse things than working for me. I hope you came prepared." • Give 1x Wolf Skull • Defeat 1x Turkey Vulture • Defeat 3x Kinfolk cryptids • Defeat 1x Coyote
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength Agility	Large Prey Opponent (+1 on Snarl) Prey Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +2 on Chase, +2 on Retreat)

Beast of Busco	Independent
	The beast before you resembles a snapping turtle, but it's larger than any you've seen before. It turns its massive head and snaps its beak at you. The reptile doesn't necessarily seem aggressive, but its size alone is enough for you to hesitate before moving closer. It seems to be sizing you up, wondering whether or not you are worth its time and energy. It's slow moving, but it doesn't seem to mind and appears to be quite content to watch the world pass by. "I could make use of those paws of yours. Come closer, I won't bite. At least not hard..."
Flavor text needed • Give 2x Nesting Material • Find the snapping turtle in the Riparian Woodland • Catch one uncommon fish
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength Smarts	Slow Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +1 on Retreat, -2 on Chase) Thick Skin (-1 on Shear)

Kipsy	Independent
	The movement in the muddy water is promising and you hope to catch a tasty fish, but instead a large, snake-like monster emerges in front of you. While the monster is huge and intimidating, it's unlikely that it can chase you outside the water which is relieving and makes you feel braver. The creature lowers its head to take a closer look at you. It still hasn't said a word but you can already tell that this meeting wasn't a coincidence. The creature definitely has a reason to reveal itself in such a way. "Ah, another one. Good. Maybe you'll do better. I need some tasks done and you are definitely faster than me on the ground. Will you help me?"
Flavor text needed "There is still some work to do but if we keep this pace, we'll be done soon. Ready for the next task?" • Find large fish in the Riparian Woodland • Give 2x Healing Salves
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength Smarts	Slow Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +1 on Retreat, -2 on Chase) Thick Skin (-1 on Shear)

White River Monster	Independent
	With a gaping jaw of sharp teeth that could easily swallow you head first, this giant fish-like creature commands attention with its presence. The White River Monster uses its large jaws to scoop through the river and catches everything in its path–rocks, plants, fish, even some branches! It crunches down and allows the debris to filter through, revealing a wiggling fish. That's certainly one way to do it! "Come to help? Good, I know just what to do with you. No refusing, or I'll eat that pretty head of yours."
Flavor text needed • Catch one uncommon fish
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]

Prairie

Grassman	Kinfolk
	Kind eyes in a round, shaggy face meet yours, and you feel instantly at ease. The creature raises a human-like hand in greeting. It has a familiar presence, almost as if you've seen it before. Such a big, hulking beast would be hard to miss, but you're certain that you've never laid eyes on it before. Perhaps the fact that it seems so welcoming has tricked your brain. It sits peacefully in a nest in the grass and offers you a grub wriggling between its fingers. "Hello there! Would you like a grub? I just found some. Oh, but you probably don't like them...not many do. While you're here, would you like to help me with something?"
Flavor text needed "You're back, fuzzy friend! It's good to see you. Are you ready for the next task?" • Help 3x distressed animals in explore • Give 5x Large Leaves • Give 2x Healing Salves
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Agility Smarts	No modifiers

Jackalope	Kinfolk
	A beautiful rack of horns is attached to a majestic...rabbit? It sits back on its haunches and wiggles its nose furiously, taking in your scent. You have never seen horns on anything other than a deer, and you openly stare at the small creature before you. It's larger than most rabbits, sure, but its tiny head doesn't look nearly sturdy enough to hold the weight of the horns. It lowers its head toward you and places itself in a defensive stance, eyeing you warily. "Well met, wolf. I don't want any trouble. I need help, but only if you'll promise not to eat me. Sound like a deal?"
Flavor text needed • Give 2x Nesting Materials • Give 5x Large Branches • Find jackalope babies in the Prairie
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Speed	Small Prey Opponent (+1 on Snarl) Prey Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +2 on Chase, +2 on Retreat)

Walgren Lake Monster	Kinfolk
	Though you've never seen it before, this creature looks oddly familiar. It cocks its head and looks at you with a curious expression. Large flies swarm around its head, and it reaches up to swat at them with large scaly paws. It manages to catch some and licks the smushed bugs happily off of its palm. Yuck! "I don't think we've met before, but you sure look familiar. Maybe there's just too many wolves around here for me to keep track. No matter, I still need help."
The Walgren Lake Monster has made itself right at home. It hunkers down in a cool, muddy spot and sleeps soundly. You wonder how it can be so carefree with all that's going on in the world. It lifts its muddy head expectantly as you approach. Flavor text needed • Give 5x Large Rocks • Defeat 3x the Merged cryptids
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Stat drops unknown	Modifiers unknown

Beaman	The Merged
	The monster before you is unlike any you've seen before. It sort of resembles a wolf...and yet, its malevolent eyes speak of its true nature. Beaman moves around as if its tracking prey, but you can't smell anything near by. It seems quite intent, and you're left puzzled. Is it just paranoid? "You're so puny, how on earth do you survive? Luck? Whatever it is, I have need of it."
Without you around, Beaman has disappeared. Or has it? You cast your eyes around and lock in on a shadowy patch under a bush. Two blinking red eyes stare at you hungrily, and you feel your fur rise on your pelt as it steps from the shadows. Flavor text needed • Defeat 3x Kinfolk cryptids
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Stat drops unknown	Modifiers unknown

Belled Buzzard	The Merged
	A grizzled old buzzard glares at you with beady eyes. The belly around its neck rings ominously. The bird crouches on the ground, wings half spread out. It appears hunched over, like it's old and the weight of the world is weighing it down. Everytime it moves, the bell chimes with an eerie sound, and the hair on your back prickles and stands on end. This bird means death. "What are you looking at, ugly? Scared? Good. Now do as I say before my patience runs out."
Flavor text needed "You're back. Ready for your next task? I'll make it worth your while again." • Complete 1x scouting mission • Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 3x Independent cryptids
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Agility Smarts	Soft Skin (-1 on Shear)

Creepy Black Hound	The Merged
	A creature resembling a large dog looks at you in silence. Black as the darkest night, with muscles shining under its short fur, they look as if they are ready to hunt. You approach the dog and notice that it's equally interested in your presence, its blood red eyes following your every step. You've never seen a dog so large. It bares its teeth for a brief moment and comes closer with a dominating stare. "Since you are already here, make yourself useful. It may be beneficial to both of us. I may need your help. Are you in?"
Flavor text needed • Give 2x Healing Salves • Complete 3x hunts • Defeat 3x Kinfolk cryptids
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength Speed	Fearless Opponent (-1 on Rest/Wait, -1 on Chase, -1 on Snarl)

Enfield Monster	Independent
	You're not quite sure what to make of the bug-eyed, hunched, three-hooved creature in front of you. It's not exactly aggressive, but it's not very pleasant, either. The way the creature walks is almost like an insect, with each leg moving independently of the others. It flicks its funny little ears and scratches them with its long claws with a grumble. As it shuffles around, it seems to be muttering to itself and barely acknowledges your presence. "What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy? I have so much to do...but maybe you can help. Wanna give it a go?"
Flavor text needed "The busy-body is back! I guess you like my gifts in return for your service, hmm? I have more to offer. Ready for today's task?" • Defeat x1 Elk Bull • Complete 1x scouting mission • Give 5x Large Leaves • Give 1x Medicine: Hepatitis Cure, 1x Medicine: Cystitis Cure, and 1x Medicine: Ringworm Salve
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength Smarts	Large Prey Opponent (+1 on Snarl) Prey Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +2 on Chase, +2 on Retreat)

Milton Lizard	Independent
	An imposing lizard that looks similar to a monitor lizard blocks your way. It's larger than any lizard you've seen before, and could eat you whole. Lumbering around without a care in the world, the lizard flattens the grass wherever it goes, causing small prey to flee. It pays them no mind, instead opting to trample the grass in random patterns and smush anthills purely for fun. "Ho there, small fry. Stick around and help me, would you? You'll get things done much faster than me."
Flavor text needed • Possible quests
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Stat drops unknown	Modifiers unknown

Sidehill Gouger	Independent
	At first glance, this creature is no different from an antelope with unusual markings. You notice that its legs are shorter on one side, and wonder if it's mutated. The unusual physique of the creature forces it to use hilly terrains only. Walking on any flat surface would likely be impossible, making the Gouger an incredibly easy prey for every hungry carnivore in this area. It is perfectly aware of this fact, staring at you in fear as you approach. "Stop, wait! I know this gaze. If you help me with a few things, it will benefit you more than eating me, I promise."
Flavor text needed • Complete 1x scouting mission • Find train tunnel in Prairie • Give 5x Large Leaves
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Speed Agility	Prey Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +2 on Chase, +2 on Retreat)

Coniferous Forest

Axehandle Hound	Kinfolk
	This creature looks more or less like a regular canine to you, but its body has so many strange angles and you're quite certain it's no ordinary hound. The movements of the creature are too smooth and natural for it to be ill, so its body shape does not appear to be the result of any kind of mutation. You approach closer, feeling a sense of familiarity after the surprising first impression. "Do you have some time to spare? I think I need some help. Nothing too difficult, I promise."
The more you think about this being, the less strange it becomes to you. Supernatural or not, you share a few things in common. The creature is waiting for you, nibbling on a stick with a relaxed expression. Flavor text needed • Give x2 carcasses
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Stat drops unknown	Modifiers unknown

Shagamaw	Kinfolk
	This creature would resemble a bear if not for the antlers sprouting from its head and hooves on the hind legs. Its eyes shine with an unsettling yellow glow. If the creature is aggressive, you'll be in trouble, but it seems rather calm. Moss-covered fur makes great camouflage in this deep forest. Now you realise that you've seen pawprints and hoofprints together a lot but you'd never guess that they could belong to one animal. Following this being would probably give you a headache. Its whole appearance seems designed to fool and mislead wolves. "So...you found me. If it was your intention, it proves that you have some useful skills. Will you help me?"
Flavor text needed • Defeat 3x the Merged cryptids • Give 5x Large Leaves • Help 3x distressed animals in explore
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength Smarts	Slow Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +1 on Retreat, -2 on Chase) Thick Skin (-1 on Shear)

The White Stag	Kinfolk
	The magnificent stag in front of you resembles an ancient forest god with its splendid, huge antlers and perfectly clean, almost shining white fur. It looks beautifully unreal. You don't feel any kind of fear. It may be your gut feeling or the creature's vibe, but there is something royal and proud about it. The stag nods slowly, inviting you to come closer. "Did you lose your path? Or maybe you came here to help?"
Flavor text needed • Give 2x Healing Salves • Defeat 3x the Merged cryptids • Give 1x Arnica, 1x Spoonwood, 1x Carrionflower, 1x Yarrow, and 1x Large Leaf
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength Speed	Large Prey Opponent (+1 on Snarl) Prey Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +2 on Chase, +2 on Retreat)

Agropelter	The Merged
	The gangly creature before you is shaggy and green and looks like a monkey. Multiple red eyes like a bug stare into your soul. Gripped tightly in its fists are two rather large chunks of a tree branch. It slams them on the ground as if tenderising them, then takes a large chunk out of one with its sharp teeth. Was it eating wood? "Need something? No? Well I do, so you're going to help me."
Flavor text needed • Give 3x carcasses • Defeat 3x Kinfolk cryptids • Give 2x Healing Salves • Give 5x Large Branches
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Agility Smarts	Small Prey Opponent (+1 on Snarl) Prey Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +2 on Chase, +2 on Retreat)

Gallinipper	The Merged
	The largest mosquito you have ever laid eyes on buzzes in front of you. If it weren't for the intelligence behind its bloodthirsty eyes, you would have been long gone. Gallinipper flies around the clearing, peering into tree holes as if on the hunt for a tasty meal. It stops to listen occasionally, jabbing its long beak into the holes as it attempts to snag a catch. The prey are lucky and it is unsuccessful...for now. "Hey there blood-bag, not afraid of me, are you? You do smell good, I must admit...but still you're more useful alive. For now that is. Time to get to work."
You've always wondered how mosquitoes sleep, and at least in this case, it appears to rest like any other bug with its wings folded and body low to the ground. It's too big to fit in any of the trees, so it simply rests on the bed of pine needles. A beady eye flicks open as you approach. Flavor text needed • Defeat 1x Walgren Lake Monster • Give 5x Large Leaves
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Agility	Strong Venom (+1 on opponent's bite attack)

Jersey Devil	The Merged
	The huge, dark shadow above your head is too big to be a bird. Or maybe it's a bat? You take another look, observing the creature as it lands nearby. No...it's a large, winged goat with an ominous shine in its red eyes. The goat monster folds its wings on its back, lowering its head when it notices you. A long tail, swaying slowly from side to side, resembles a snake ready to attack and you are almost sure that you catch a malicious smirk on the creature's muzzle. It can fly so it's pointless to try to escape now. "You will serve me. It's not a question or an offer. Just do what you are told if you want to see the next sunrise."
Flavor text needed • Defeat 3x Kinfolk cryptids • Defeat 1x Grizzly Bear • Give 3x carcasses
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength Agility	Large Prey Opponent (+1 on Snarl) Prey Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +2 on Chase, +2 on Retreat)

Bloody Mary	Independent
	A blood-spattered figure steps out of a ghostly mirror. Where did the mirror come from? Bloody Mary looks at herself in the mirror, admiring her appearance. Or was she seeing visions? You move closer, but she turns and blocks your gaze from the mirror. "The future spoke to me and told me you were coming. I've prepared some special tasks just for you."
The mirror stands alone, with no sign of the woman. You inspect all around it, but she is nowhere to be found. As you sniff the air, a hand reaches out from the mirror and taps you on your back. With a yelp you leap into the air, and you hear laughter coming from the mirror. Flavor text needed • Give 5x Large Rocks
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Agility Smarts	Fearless Opponent (-1 on Rest/Wait, -1 on Chase, -1 on Snarl)

Squonk	Independent
	A sorry-looking lump of wrinkly skin with warts and moles meets your gaze. Its eyes are sad, and tears stream silently down its face. The creature is staring at the ground, ears drooping and looking like its mere existence is weighing it down. It's making small mewling noises as tears run down its face. It's crying so much that the ground at its feet is damp, and everytime it moves it leaves an easy trail to follow. Maybe you can try to cheer it up somehow? "Oh, hello...you seem nice. Will you...help me? I'm too sad to do much on my own."
Flavor text needed • Give 2x Nesting Material • Give 5x St. John's Wort • Find Blonk in the Coniferous Forest
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength Smarts	Slow Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +1 on Retreat, -2 on Chase) Thick Skin (-1 on Shear)

Wisconsin Werewolf	Independent
	The wolf-like appearance of this creature is familiar until it reveals its bipedal posture. It looms above you and you feel small. The beast lets out a warning growl at first but stops suddenly, visibly intrigued by your visit. Its ruffled fur adds to the creature's size but you find its human hands and chest scarier. You let it come closer to sniff you, prepared for any possible outcome of this encounter. "What's your business here? I have some stuff to do and I don't want to be disturbed. Help me or leave."
Flavor text needed "There you are! You're surprisingly good at this, I must say. You'd be a formidable opponent if you had thumbs. Do you want to try something different now?" • Search the Coniferous Forest for 'Older Human' encounter • Give 3x carcasses • Give 5x Large Rocks
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength	Fearless Opponent (-1 on Rest/Wait, -1 on Chase, -1 on Snarl)

Desert

Cactus Cat	Kinfolk
	The creature in front of you is definitely one of the weirdest beings you've ever seen. It would be a feline resembling a bobcat if not for the long, sharp thorns covering its body and branching tail swishing slowly from side to side. Flowers also bloom on its body. You're careful not to go too close to the weird thorns on its body, but the feline's attitude seems friendly. It's circling you in turn, keeping a safe distance from you as well. Despite its odd looks, you don't feel uneasy. It feels as if the creature has already adapted to this place. "Don't be afraid. If I wanted to hurt you, I would have already done so."
Flavor text needed "You seem to be cut out for this job. Your help may change a lot. I've got another quest for you when you're ready." • Complete 1x scouting mission • Give 5x herbs (specific herbs needed will be randomized) • Defeat 3x the Merged cryptids
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Speed Agility	Soft Skin (-1 on Shear)

Hoop Snake	Kinfolk
	You wouldn't believe it if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes. This snake is biting its tail with its jaws to roll forward! The creature notices you and releases its tail from its mouth, appearing much more familiar as it moves around like any other snake. Even without its strange movement, there is still something extraordinary about this being. You can definitely feel it. "I wasn't expecting anyone, but since you're here, you can do something good for us both."
Flavor text needed • Possible quests

Stat drops unknown	Modifiers unknown

Mogollon Monster	Kinfolk
	You nearly trip over a large rock, before realising it's not a rock at all! It stirs, and two shining blue eyes blink up at you. The monster sits upright, its long, shaggy fur covered in dusty sand. It doesn't seem to mind, and brushes grime away from its eyes. Had it been napping? It heaves itself up to stand and shakes all over quite like you would to dry yourself. Appearing satisfied, it sits back down against a rock formation and looks at you expectantly. "Well isn't this convenient? I need a partner, and here you are! I'll reward you for helping me. What do you say?"
Flavor text needed "Welcome back, friend! Ready to continue on? There's much to do." • Give 2x Healing Salves • Give 5x Large Leaves
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength Smarts	No modifiers

Augerino	The Merged
	A large, worm-like creature rests in the warm sand. Its body is abnormally twisted but its movements are surprisingly smooth. You pad closer, and you feel observed. While you can't see the giant worm's mouth, you can clearly hear its voice. It resembles a dry, malicious hiss. You feel an urge to take a step back when it gets closer to you. "What a perfect coincidence. I need someone like you. Interested?"
Flavor text needed "You again...good, good. I have another plan. Do you want to join in?" • Defeat 2x Cactus Cat • Give 3x carcasses • Defeat 1x Frenzied Razorback
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength Speed	Slow Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +1 on Retreat, -2 on Chase) Thick Skin (-1 on Shear)

Mothwolf	The Merged
	A red-eyed, wolf-furred, winged...moth hovers in front of you. Its antennae wave and you feel unsettled as it fixes its gaze upon you. This moth-wolf hybrid is something a pup would have nightmares of. Not only does it have segmented legs that click eerily, the last set of legs are wolf-like and enable the creature to stand upright. It stretches itself as tall as it can go as you approach, stretching its wings to their full width and looking at you with contempt. "You're...lesser than me. No wings as far as I can see. An ugly lifeform. Still...I suppose you could be of use. You'd be foolish to refuse to help me."
Flavor text needed • Defeat 3x Kinfolk cryptids • Defeat 1x Cougar • Complete 3x hunts
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Strength Agility	Fearless Opponent (-1 on Rest/Wait, -1 on Chase, -1 on Snarl)

North Shore Monster	The Merged
	This creature would look simply like a large snake if it were not for its head, which resembles that of a horse. Equally surprising and terrifying, the monster appears to remain unaware of your presence. Still amazed by the unusual appearance, you take a step closer, trying to understand how it is even possible for such a creature to exist. It surely doesn't have the flexible jaws of a snake or the speed of a horse, but you feel that it's better to be prepared for anything. "Stop staring at me and do something useful. I will consider letting you go if you serve me well."
The creature remains still, awaiting you in the very same spot where you last saw it. It's clear that it couldn't care less about you, and it doesn't event try to pretend otherwise. Flavor text needed • Defeat 1x Hoop Snake
[Dawn] | [Day] | [Dusk] | [Night]
Stat drops unknown	Modifiers unknown

Fresno Nightcrawler	Independent
	Extremely long legs, a short torso, and a lack of arms or front paws make this creature's appearance look really alien to you. Only one large eye in the middle of its face captures your attention, and the more you stare at this being the more questions you have. You don't think that you can get used to this weird being but you're also curious about it. The creature doesn't seem hostile but you can't tell much by just looking at the featureless face covered with green fur. With a careful step forward, you take a closer look, wondering how to start a conversation when you can't spot its mouth or ears. When you finally hear its voice, you still aren't sure if the creature uses its mouth or some special power. "What are you doing here? You may stay and do what you want if you help me."
Flavor text needed "You're back already? Good. You may leave or help me again. Are you ready for more?" • Bring 1x critter, 3x one type of herb, and 1x herb or feather (specific items needed will be randomized) • Defeat 3x Kinfolk cryptids • Find a large carcass in the Desert • Give 3x herbs and 1x Bone (specific herbs will be randomized)

Joint Snake	Independent
	Flavor text needed
You watch as the snake spots some small prey. In the blink of an eye, it releases its head which shoots out to bite down on the prey fiercely before snapping back to the snake. Efficient...even if it's a bit morbid. Flavor text needed • Possible quests

Stat drops unknown	Modifiers unknown

Lava Bear	Independent
	The creature in front of you is definitely a bear, but a strangely tiny one, and it takes you a while to realise that it's not a cub. Despite the odd glow of its eyes, you don't feel any fear. Thick, woolly fur makes the bear look fluffy and you somehow can't imagine it being truly aggressive. However, when you approach the creature, your experience tells you to be ready for anything. The bear raises its head boldly and stares at you, unfazed. "Who are you? Leave me alone. Or...wait. Since you're already here, can you help me with something?"
Flavor text needed "If you have nothing else to do today, I could use some more help." • Give 2x Nesting Material • Find lava bear cub in the Desert • Give 5x amusement items (specific items needed will be randomized)

Taiga

Buntail	Kinfolk
	You really can't decide if this strange creature is a big rabbit or a really small deer. Paws and hooves together are so confusing that you can't stop staring. Frozen in fear, ready to dart away, it checks all avenues of escape. Finally, it risks looking straight into your eyes. You find the small antlers on its head quite fascinating and you take one step towards it to check them out. To your surprise, the creature doesn't dart away. "You could eat me if you wanted, but if you are concerned about the current situation, you could help me instead."

Goofus Bird	Kinfolk
	Birds come in all sizes and shapes, so there is nothing weird about this one at first. However, when it starts to move, there is definitely something different about this creature. You need a while to understand the movement of this peculiar bird. It seems to fly only backward and is generally uninterested in reaching any particular destination. When the bird notices you, it stops for a while to take a closer look. "Hi there! I know I'm interesting, but instead of just standing there, you could come closer and engage in something useful. Do we have a deal?"
When you get used to the strange behavior of this bird, you notice something else that surprises you even more. Its nest would appear normal if it wasn't built upside down. You're convinced you've seen everything at this point. Flavor text needed • Defeat 3x the Merged cryptids

Sasquatch	Kinfolk
	Bright green eyes full of intelligence peek between shaggy fur on this creature's face. It's big and hairy and imposing, but seems rather peaceful. The creature is sitting against a large boulder, picking debris out of its hair. It continues its grooming even after you make your presence known. It seems to be in no great hurry, and finally it stops and looks at you curiously. "You there. I assume you've interrupted my business on purpose? Even if not, you're here now and you'll be of use. Do something for me, would you?"

Ghostly Black Dog	The Merged
	A mysterious, elusive shape surrounded by a thick, smoke-like substance walks slowly a short distance away. It looks like a dog, but with such a ghostly nature, it could be anything. Because of this strange smoke, you expect a half-transparent, barely materialized being. However, the muscular body of the dark dog appears surprisingly solid. It rushes at you with a beastly growl but you decide to stand your ground. "This is my territory now. Get out of my sight if you're not willing to follow my rules."

Montauk Monster	The Merged
	This fearsome creature's face is something from nightmares. Skin peels back from its gaping maw to reveal the bone structure underneath, and it looks at you with malice. It could be some sort of relative to a wild hog, but after one sniff you know that it can't be. It smells like decaying meat, its bare body dirty and malformed in some parts. Bony claws swipe near your face, and you leap back to keep a safe distance. It's eyeing you with mistrust and anger. "Don't I scare you? No? Fine then, do as I say or I'll make you regret it."
Flavor text needed "Well this is a surprise. Actually it's not, because I give you things and your kind is always greedy. Let's get on with it, shall we?" • Catch one uncommon fish • Find tunnel in the Taiga • Defeat 3x Kinfolk cryptids

Thetis Lake Monster	The Merged
	With a gleeful malice in its eyes, a scaled human-like creature with fins grins at you with sharpened teeth. Picking a sharpened scale from its spiky head, the monster begins to pick its teeth. Tiny foreign objects flick out, and you struggle to watch as you wonder what on earth the creature could have eaten. "What have we here? A sniveling pup come to worship me? Very well, complete some tasks for me and I'll consider myself sufficiently worshiped."

Mothman	Independent
	The body of the winged creature standing before you is so deeply black that you can't see it properly. It would resemble a giant moth or a bird if not for its ape-like, bipedal posture. The creature approaches you with curiosity, tilting its head slightly from time to time. Big, round eyes shining with a bright red glow are almost too vivid when embedded in this darkness. This being looks like it is made of pure shadow but when your eyes adapt a bit, you see its insect-like face. "Is your kind the dominant species around here? Seems so. For now. I need someone to help me with some stuff. Easy job. Interested?"

Sliver Cat	Independent
	This large feline looks almost like an ordinary cougar. You do a double take, and notice a strange, spherical growth at the tip of its abnormally long tail. The creature seems amused by your visit, treating you rather as an interesting encounter with local residents rather than a threat or a challenge. Its soft smirk only proves that it already looks down on everything. "Are you lost? Or maybe you looked for me to help me out?"

First its sitting by a rock, then near a scrub bush, then blinking at you from the frosty plane…is it messing with your head? "You can see me, can you? Fascinating! You must have a good imagination.

Swamp

Cajun Sasquatch	Kinfolk
	A shaggy, long-armed creature is dangling from a low-hanging vine. It tilts its head at you in a playful way. You stare at the creature and it stares right back. You want to look away, but the staring contest ensuing is too intense to resist. Who will win? Will the creature blink first? You feel something slimy go over your feet and jump back in surprise. A vine...which the creature surely could not have commanded to trip you and break your stare, right? "You lasted longer than most! But my stare is unmatched. Come, I have a task for you."

Skunk Ape	Kinfolk
	A strange looking beast with long, shaggy hair observes you with a keen eye. It smiles widely, revealing long, sharp teeth. Unlike a monkey, this creature walks upright. As it lumbers towards you, you can't help but wonder if it's actually human. No other animal that you know walks upright. Its long, thick fingers reach out as if it wants to touch your fur, but it seems to change its mind and goes nose-to-nose with you instead. "You're nearly as hairy as me! You smell much worse though. No matter. I need your help."

Tuttle Bottoms Monster	Kinfolk
	This large, bipedal creature resembles an ape but has a head with a characteristic, elongated mouth that reminds you of anteaters. It hasn't looked at you yet, but you have a feeling that it's aware of your presence. The shaggy, thick fur of the creature is covered with tiny, dried leaves and pieces of tree bark. It uses its mouth just like an anteater, looking for insects and eating them with its long tongue. It appears as though nothing could ruin its dedication, and it is completely absorbed. "Greetings! I wasn't expecting anyone here, but I'm glad to see you. There are some things that need to be done, and I won't be able to do everything myself. The condition of this world is worsening. We must work together."

Dungavenhooter	The Merged
	You don't notice anything strange about this creature at first. In fact, it looks like a normal alligator before you see that its jaws are completely shut closed by skin. The creature notices you as soon as you lay your eyes on it. Even without a visible mouth, it appears as if it is smiling. You can hear its nightmarish voice directly in your head. Normally an alligator would not pose much threat as long as you stayed far away, but this one is truly unsettling. "Let's make a deal. Work for me for a while, and I won't cause any problems during your journey. Sound like a deal?"

Lizard Man	The Merged
	You've seen scaled beasts in the swamp before, but this one stands upright and moves like a man. It hisses through long, sharp teeth. The creature moves with ease through the wet terrain and seems to be looking for something. It makes such a ruckus that if it happens to be looking for something to eat, you know it will never find anything. It stomps around and smacks its long tail on the muddy ground in frustration before glaring at you. "You there! I need food, among other things. You will help me, or I'll just eat you instead."

Rougarou	The Merged
	Your pelt prickles with fear as a wolf-like creature that stands on two legs emerges from the swamp fog. It throws back its head and howls. How this wolf walks upright like a human is a mystery to you. It's unnatural, and as it starts to walk toward you it has a sort of swaying gait and is hunched over. Saliva drips from its muzzle and the glowing red eyes look wild and crazed. Something is off about this creature. "You! Pip squeak! Don't you run from me. You're going to do as I say or I'll snap your scrawny neck."

Letiche	Independent
	A large-toothed shaggy creature with large, round ears judges you with its beady eyes. It resembles a large rat, and you've caught its attention. Usually snacking on a rat makes for a tasty morsel–but this creature is far too large for you to have a hope of taking it down. The long fangs and sharp, curled claws aren't very inviting, either. It faces you with its lips peeled back over its teeth, letting them glint in the light as it stares you down. "I saw that look on your face. My teeth are sharp, wolf. Mind yourself and help me with a task, and you'll be rewarded."

Monster Turtle	Independent
	A rather tall turtle stands before you sliding its long, spiked tail back and forth. It tilts its head sideways and peers at you curiously. Turtles usually walk low to the ground, standing for brief periods only. Not this one, however; it stands upright with ease. The rounded head and sharp beak reminds you of a bird's, while its long neck is as agile as a snake. It could easily strike at you if given the chance, and you remain wary. "You're new around here. Or maybe I'm just too old? Either way, lend me a paw and I'll make it worth your while."

The shape of the creature is rather familiar, resembling a large ape, but much more intimidating. Its movements are smooth and even graceful, which is definitely different and unexpected. "Are you lost, pup? I might help you find the way but only if you help me first."

Alaskan Tiger	Kinfolk
	A majestic, large feline stares at you calmly as if he was expecting you. Elongated canines can be seen even when the cat's mouth is closed. You hesitate before taking the first step. The snow-white fur is deceivingly beautiful. Everything about this creature looks deadly and sharp. You could be killed within seconds, but the tiger doesn't seem to be hostile. A strange expression crosses its face, and it appears to be trying to smile. "The world will be beyond repair if we don't act quickly. Will you help me?"

	You stumble upon a scaly snake-like creature. It stretches tall and observes you with its cool blue gaze. It may be related to a snake, but you're sure this isn't any species you've ever seen. It has a head like a fish, with whiskers hanging from its lips, fins, and gills. How was it breathing outside of the water? Although surely since it wasn't a normal sort of creature it didn't matter, right? Its mouth gapes and it peers at you. "You, landwalker! You seem capable. Mind helping me out?"

It is quite unusual to feel at ease around bears, but you don't experience any fear or tension as you approach. The bear towers over you, and its thick fur makes it look even bigger, but there's something calm about it that lets you trust it. "If you care about this land, please help me. You won't regret it."

Bogeyman	The Merged
	A fur-less, upright being that's closer to a skeleton than a man shrieks at you and reveals a maw of razor sharp teeth. A long finger gestures at you to come closer. The monster paces around with an uneven, hunched gait with a shadowy substance pouring off of it. It has no smell and seems to dissipate into the air, but your stomach lurches uneasily. It turns and stares you down with its mouth gaping wide and gnashing as if it would like to eat you for lunch. "Who're you, furry? You're warm...you mortals move so easily. Help me or I'll decide that you're a nice, tasty snack."

	This horrifying creature has a skull with no skin. Unease prickles at your pelt as it observes you with hungry eyes. Rawhead prowls around the cold landscape as if searching for its next victim. And odd sound like rattling bones comes from its mouth and fills you with fear. Did it do that to attract its prey or scare it? "Have you been a good wolf? If you say no, that's a lie–all wolves like you are naughty. I'll consider not eating you if you do as I say."

Shadow Being	The Merged
	A black, thick shadow emerges out of nowhere, forming a terrifying shape straight from nightmares. You struggle to focus on it; it fools your senses when you try. You don't dare stray too close, and even from this distance, you can say that any attempt to touch the creature would surely fail. The skull-like, creepy smile is the only clear feature of its face. You can't see its eyes but you feel like the shadow is observing you carefully and if it wanted to haunt you, it would be able to do so whenever it wanted. Its voice is sharp and hissing like the winter wind. "Don't hesitate, come closer. You wouldn't be able to escape anyway so you might as well listen to my offer. If you manage to complete a few tasks, I will let you go. Maybe."

Cadborosaurus	Independent
	The elegant, slippery creature before you resembles an elongated seal. It blinks its expressionless blue eyes and you try to ascertain if it's friendly. Seals could be food, but you doubt this creature would even let you get close. It's much larger than a seal and would likely require an entire wolf pack to take down. It shifts on the ice and whips its heavy, likely deadly tail across the frozen ground pointedly as it assesses you. "I'll not be your prey, little wolf. I doubt you could even get close. I'll give you something better if you help me with something. Deal?"

	The floppy ears and large eyes of this creature create a good, almost kind impression, but your experience tells you to be careful, no matter how harmless the creature's appearance may seem. The most familiar shape you could think of is that of a seal, but there is also something canine about this creature. It notices your presence, observing you in silence. You have a feeling that you disturbed its plans. "Are you bored or something? You look like you could be, so come here and listen to me. I have lots of things to do, and you seem to have none. Can you help me?"

Snow Snake	Independent
	It is quite unusual to see a reptile thriving in such a cold area. Its blindingly bright white scales make the creature look ghostly unreal and somewhat fascinating as well. The snake approaches you so fast that you don't have a chance to think about making an escape. When it slithers, it's hard to focus your sight on it. While the creature doesn't look much different than other snakes, there is something supernatural about it. When it focuses its gaze on you, you start to feel anxious. "What a surprise, a guest. Are you here to bother me or to help?"

Ahuizotl	Kinfolk
	Big, round eyes in a fluffy mottled pelt make this creature almost inviting to approach. It raises its tail and waves the paw at you. You approach and stare long and hard at the tail that has a long-fingered paw as casually as you have four of your own. The tail brushes back and forth over the ground behind it, and stops briefly to pick up a small bug and pop it in its mouth. The tail-paw reaches for you next, and you back up a step.

	At first, the creature in front of you looks like a hairless sloth. Yet when you focus on the creature, you start to realise that it is quite different. Misleading at first, the creature is definitely a being unknown to you and likely new to this land. You can see the fear in its small eyes when it tries to reach the nearby tree but it's too slow. The creature seems to know that it wouldn't have any chance if you wanted to harm it. "Wait...wait a moment. If you help me with a few tasks, it may be more beneficial to you than just eating me.

	An ill-looking creature emerges from the shadows, snarling at you. Its appearance contradicts the level of bloodthirst this being seems to have. A scrawny body with almost naked skin, covered with warts and patches of thin fur, is a sight that would evoke pity more than anything else. You change your mind upon observing the creature more closely. The mouth is full of thin, sharp teeth and it looks ready to jump at you. "You are here for a reason.

Evil Cadejo	The Merged
	The huge shadowy creature in front of you resembles a dog, but as you look closer, you notice its distorted features and unkempt, messy fur. This is no ordinary dog. The eyes of the creature are glowing with fiery, malevolent light like the last two stars in a dark sky. While the monster looks canine, you notice that it has hooves instead of paws. It shows you its mouth full of sharp, jagged teeth in a twisted smile. "I believe you are smart enough to know that coming here means that you will serve me. Let's get on with it, shall we?"
The creature awaits you in silence, focused on your movement as if it's ready to kill you on the spot. Even now, when you're more familiar with its appearance, your fur prickles with tension and anxiety. Flavor text needed • Give 3x carcasses • Give 2x Healing Salves

	If death itself could have a child with a rat, the creature standing in front of you would be the result. The skull-like muzzle is frozen in a permanent, unsettling grin as the beast stares at you. While the creature isn't huge, it doesn't seem to be afraid of you and it would be foolish to underestimate it. Its rattlesnake tail makes you wonder if its bite is venomous. It definitely looks like it. When it approaches you, you can hear its loud, disgusting breath sounds. "If you want to stay around, you must follow my rules and do as I say. Otherwise, get out."

	There is a strange vibe surrounding this creature. It's not just a bipedal canine with some humanoid features. You can't explain it, but you feel that there is much more to it than meets the eye. While the Nagual's body doesn't appear strong or muscular, it is certainly not where the source of its power lies. When your eyes meet its gaze, you feel an intelligence surpassing your own. It's definitely unsettling. "Come closer, I don't intend to harm you. My rage is directed at something else and I hope you will help me with a few simple tasks."
You notice the creature preparing something with its bony, five-fingered hands. Before you can see what it is, Nagual hides everything and stands up with a stern expression.

While the creature is rather big and could be potentially dangerous to you, it seems hesitant to approach. Eventually, it comes closer, using its distorted body in a surprisingly smooth way, resembling a spider with backward-facing feet and fast movement. "Hey, don't come too close. Yes, this far is good.

	A nearby moss-covered log starts to move, and you realise that it never was a log–it's a large cat. Its fur is green and blue, and blends in well with its surroundings. The cat appears intimidating, but it doesn't seem particularly bothered by your presence. You sense no malice, instead feeling as though you hold a mutual respect for each other. It sits regally and watches you coolly, inviting you with a sweep of its tail. "Well look at that, a wolf! Usually I wouldn't even talk to you, but you seem smart and capable.

Akhlut	Kinfolk
	It takes a few seconds to realise that this creature isn't a dream or hallucination. It is a cross between a wolf and a fish or a whale with a long fin on its back and a tail adapted to the depths of the ocean. The dual nature of this being makes it a bridge between the ocean and the land. You feel a twinge of jealousy deep inside your heart. You'd like to swim freely and hunt underwater, too. The ocean wolf smiles slightly, noticing your genuine fascination, and approaches you with a friendly attitude. "It's rare to meet someone by accident here. Or maybe it's not an accident.

Unidentified Beings	Kinfolk
	You've seen many unexplained things in your life, but the sight in front of your eyes is beyond your comprehension. A bipedal creature, despite having a familiar body frame, makes your body stiff with anxiety and all your senses seem fogged... The more you focus on the being, the more details you can spot. Their natural body armour reminds you of an insect but they're far from that. Even when you get used to how they look, their presence still makes you feel anxious and uneasy. This creature doesn't feel right and something about them is alien to the core. Your instinct tells you to run away but an oddly calming voice speaks to you by your name directly in your head. You don't even truly hear it...you feel it. "Fear not! We need your cooperation in order to cease this madness. This world's natural balance is in danger. Will you assist us?"

Smarts	Fearless Opponent (-1 on Rest/Wait, -1 on Chase, -1 on Snarl)

Bloody Bones	The Merged
	You can't believe that something that looks like a rotting carcass can even be alive, let alone deadly, but your gut tells you to be careful. While the skinny, distorted body of the creature looks weak, its lidless eyes embedded in a skull-like face are glowing with bloodthirst. If your worst thoughts could take a form, they would look like this abomination. When it focuses its gaze on you, you start to feel anxious. "Done admiring me? Follow my orders and I may let you live a little longer."

Old Scratch	The Merged
	You have to look twice to believe your eyes. At first you thought this creature is a human, but the red skin and horns leave no room for imagination. Yellow eyes stare at you intensely, and a soft smirk appears on the devil's face. While elegant and well-mannered, he has the vibe of a natural predator. You can't deny that he is both unsettling and fascinating. "What perfect timing! You have a fantastic opportunity to show your worth by completing a few simple tasks. It will be beneficial for both of us and you won't regret it. Unless you refuse."
The devil greets you in a way only a good, old friend would do but you know that behind the pleasant voice and graceful movements, there is a real threat that you would face in case of poor performance. Flavor text needed • Complete 3x hunts

Smarts	Fearless Opponent (-1 on Rest/Wait, -1 on Chase, -1 on Snarl)

Sea Serpent	The Merged
	A giant serpent observes your movements carefully. Its body is dark and shiny like the surface of a cold, midnight sea. It could probably crush your bones effortlessly. One step towards this creature could be your last one. The snake smiles ominously with its mouth full of long, sharp teeth. That doesn't help in overcoming your doubts, but you notice a genuine interest in its bright eyes. When it hisses, it feels like it could suck your soul away. "There is something interesting about you that I like. If you help me with something, I will consider not eating you."

Strength Smarts	Slow Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +1 on Retreat, -2 on Chase) Thick Skin (-1 on Shear)

Kraken	Independent
	Two round eyes as large as your head stare right through you. The creature's tentacled, slimy body shifts over the ice and sends shivers down your spine. You've never seen such a large beast; whispers, perhaps, but nothing solid. From the way it's wobbling unsteadily, it's clear it doesn't belong on land. Yet here it is, waving its many tentacles around that make small sucking sounds as they detach and reattach themselves to the ice. It reaches toward you curiously. "Hmm, you're not very suited for this icy place, are you? I was hoping for something else. I guess you'll have to do. Help me out?"

Snow Wasset	Independent
	The creature resting in front of you looks like a fur-covered snake with a muzzle similar to the one of a stoat or a marten. It doesn't look very intimidating, and it's even kind of cute, but it's best to be careful. You wonder if its atrophied limbs have any function or if this creature really can hunt without them. The Snow Wasset licks its mouth and turns to face you slowly. A self-confident smirk tells you at once that it can probably catch its prey better than you. Its eyes look hungry... "Do you have some time to help me out with some easy tasks? If not, then go away, this is my territory."
Flavor text needed "Welcome again, my long-legged friend. It wasn't a bad idea to let you do this. Are you ready for another job?" • Find the shipwreck in the Glacier • Catch one uncommon fish • Give 2x Healing Salves

Agility	Small Prey Opponent (+1 on Snarl) Prey Opponent (+1 on Rest/Wait, +2 on Chase, +2 on Retreat)

White Lady	Independent
	You're quite surprised to see a human female in this unfriendly environment. Upon closer inspection, you notice that her skin is ghostly pale and an otherworldly vibe surrounds her, making you feel uneasy. The ghostly woman stares at you in silence. Her ethereal and luminous gown appears to be moving even without any wind. There is something very sad and melancholic about her expression. She nods slightly, allowing you to come closer. "If you're here, you must feel the disturbances in this world too. I need your help to bring it back to what it was."
