EotR's Unique Creatures

Characteristics - Tikbalang are rather, how can I put this, playful creatures. Sure, their methods of playing might not be fun for it’s victims but they get a kick out of their shenanigans. The Tikbalang target travelers and people who are moving through the woods. They tend to stay in a designated area which they call home, usually by a large cave or something that they can rest inside of. They like to stalk the people passing through their area and play tricks on them from afar. This includes changing the forest around them to cause the travelers to become lost and confused. No matter how hard one may try to find their way out, they’ll somehow keep returning to the same section of woods. Once the person gives up, or the Tikbalang becomes bored, it will reveal itself and that’s when the true fun begins… They’ll torment the traveler by pushing them around with their large hands, or knock them down over and over to the point that the person can even get up. In some instances they’ll even control the vines around them to pick the victim up, where they’ll begin tickling and poking at them as much as they want. If they get their fun with no problem, that’s that and the person could probably escape… If they tend to piss the monster off by ruining it’s fun it will stomp them to death with large hooves and them will proceed to eat them. They’ll very temperamental and when they are angered, their eyes turn to a reddish glow.

However, perhaps the strangest thing about the Tikbalang is the fact that it can be tamed. Within its thick mane, there are 3 small sharp spine like anomalies, that are gold in color. If someone is able to get all 3 of these, they can use it as a talisman, to make that creature their servant.The tikbalang must first be subdued, however, by leaping onto it and tying it with a specially-prepared cord. The would-be-tamer must then hang on while the creature flies through the air, fighting madly to dislodge its unwelcome rider, until it is exhausted and acknowledges its defeat, where they can then look on it’s mane and see the 3 golden spikes and if they pluck 3 of them before it eats them, the Tikbalang will serve them until their master dies. The reason for this is extremely interesting. The Tikbalang grow these golden spines as they get older, and once they have all 3 they are considered a fully grown Tikbalang. This is incredibly important within its species, as it is a symbol of maturity and power. This is why, when the three golden, small spines, are taken that the Tikbalang will follow the person; giving them not only great respect but vouching their own lives for them as they proved themselves worthy and more powerful than the Tikbalang.


Appearance - Tikbalang are incredibly big creatures, standing at about 10 to 11 feet in the air. They are very horse-like, with giant horns that resemble somewhat of a ram’s. They’re covered in a dark colored fur, but around the head and upper back it is thicker and longer. It can be described as a tall bony humanoid with disproportionately long limbs, and hooves at the bottom of it’s long legs. Perhaps it’s most chilling feature, as it’s knees will reach above it’s head when it squats down. Lastly, it has lifeless big beady white eyes that send shivers down traveler’s spines.

Powers/abilities -

Characteristics - Unicorns come from the fairy realm known as Avalon. They’re incredibly rare and there’s not many left. This is because Unicorns have special blood that is very delicious for all kinds of creatures, and can be addicting.Because of this Unicorns are very skittish around all kinds of creatures/humans, and it’s said when a Unicorn approaches someone that they are either destined for great things or are pure of heart.

Appearance - Unicorns are typically found to be white, with a golden horn protruding from their head. It is rare but it’s possible for a Unicorn to be black and uncommon colors are even more the rare, in fact it’s very unlikely.

Powers/abilities -

Characteristics - Hippocampus come from the fairy realm known as Avalon. Perhaps the most curious creature of Avalon, they are known to approach many different creatures/people without being afraid. Much like the Pegasus, Hippocampus choose their masters and most of the time, they aren’t even that---masters. Hippocampus tend to love their freedom and would rather be seen as an ally or friend than a pet. While it’s not unheard of for some to choose masters, it is just rare. They are incredibly loving and helpful though.

Appearance - They are a sight to behold. A hippocampus is incredibly beautiful, their skin colorful like a pastel rainbow that shimmers and shines in the light. They have fins and cannot move outside of water.

Powers/abilities -

Characteristics - Perhaps one of the oldest living creatures to still exist. The Zheng have been around since prehistoric times, they’ve lasted out through the Ice Age and are incredibly powerful beings. On the same rarity level of Phoenixes and Dragons, Zheng are not well known about and are often considered just myths or thought to be all dead. They are known to live at the top of mountains, having an incredible ability which allows them to live without breathing which makes them a target for witches who can use their fur for potions that grant the same effect. Many of the species also dwell within Antarctica and live within snow caverns they create and dive into the deep blue frozen sea. The Zheng do require flesh to consume, but do not require it to be human. They can survive off of animals, but it’s said once a Zheng has a taste of human, they have an insatiable hunger for human flesh; something similar to a Rugaru.

Appearance - Zheng are decent sized red panther like monsters that have black spots, differing from one to another. They have a horn protruding from their head, which they can use to attack. Instead of just one tail, the Zheng actually have five different tails which they use for incredible balance, they often move their tails in strange ways to confuse and distract their prey and enemies. They have incredibly sharp claws and fangs that have no problem slashing prey apart.
