Since Halloween is in a few days, I thought I would start putting up some of the monsters I made for that Halloween game I never had time to flesh out. Hopefully, someone else can have some fun with them, lots more coming! I wonder if anyone would be interested in the short story I was writing around this 🤔 Twitter, let’s be friends?

‘Maalstroom’ is the name given to those storm giants who embrace undeath in exchange for immortality and fathomless arcane power. Unlike humanoid liches, maalstrooms need not feed the souls of others into a phylactery - all they require is an enchanted lodestone known as the Heart of the Storm, to which a storm giant quinetssent must be bound. The process is long and complex but mostly harmless; if anything being bound to a Heart of the Storm actually solidifies a quintessent’s presence in the world.
Giants are naturally predisposed towards reclusive lives in lonely fortresses, so very little adaptation is necessary when then ascend to lichhood. Although some maalstrooms use their power to subjugate humanoid empires, ruling as immortal god-emperors, thankfully most maintain their isolation or make war on the great enemy of giant-kind, the dragons.
This is Sisu, a stray dog who broke into a Dollar General 5 times to steal this purple unicorn. When animal control got there the officer bought it for him. (Afterwards he was adopted and got to take his unicorn friend to his new home with him)
