Kumcharangi
Kumcharangi are subterranean winged snakes with
mottled black-and-brown scales and glowing eyes.
Typically, they eat small to medium-sized mammals,
which they prefer to swallow whole, but kumcharangi
are not above attacking humans. The victim of an adult
kumcharangi bite has a 45% chance of contracting an
affliction called Aphotic Bane, which incapacitates its
host (mentally and physically) gradually over a number
of years, and for which there is currently no cure. The
best defense against a kumcharangi is either a fire spell
or a gust of wind strong enough to interrupt their initial
spring or glide.
Magimundi Classification
Kumcharangi / Serpens pinnatus
Family: Reptilian
Classification: Non-sapient
Manifestation: Corporeal
Habitat: The kumcharangis live in small burrows in the
loamy soil of the Solaris Province. Cold weather makes
them sluggish, and some may even hibernate during the
winter months.
Biology: Adult kumcharangis can grow up to ten feet
long, with a wingspan of six feet. Their glowing eyes are
magical in nature, as no evidence of bioluminescence has
been found. An adult kumcharangi sheds its skin about
once a month, but growing neonates shed even more
frequently.
Magical Uses: Though hunting kumcharangi is danger-
ous, it can be worth it to some hunters. Although their
venom quickly loses its toxicity after harvesting, their
eyes are useful for items that grant darkvision and their
bones are useful for items that control animals. The emp-
tied venom sac of a kumcharangi fortifies the target of a
death ward spell or it can be used to enhance a casting of
phantasmal killer. A kumcharangi tongue can quicken a
passwall spell, while an intact eye can enhance a casting
of dominate person. The remnants from a kumcharangi are
rare items, due to the deadliness of hunting them.

Habitat: Lightning snakes live in the coastal waters of

Habitat: Loup-garoux can live anywhere in North
America, but are clustered particularly in Destiny Prov-
ince and Mishipeshu north of the Great Lakes. A smaller,
but growing, contingent can be found in Solaris. When
in wolf-form, loup-garoux seem to prefer wooded areas,
where they can satisfy their urge to hunt.
Biology: When in human form, a loup-garou is physical-
ly indistinguishable from another human. However, one
loup-garou can detect another loup-garou by a particular
scent issuing from the neck. Nemort (undead) creatures
can also sense the presence of a loup-garou. When in
wolf form, a loup-garou retains injuries or distinguishing
characteristics of the human. For example, a loup-garou
missing a hand in human form would shift to a wolf
missing a paw.
Magical Uses: None. A loup-garou’s body is no different
than that of a mortal creature once killed.

lived in the swamps and everglades of Solaris Province,

Magical Uses: The pelt of a sasquatch is useful for mak-

Sasquatch hair is an ingredient for items that

Habitat: Shagamaws are native to Destiny province in
the areas known as Maine, New Brunswick, and Nova
Scotia. They like heavily wooded areas, but require conve-

Biology: From the front to the back, shagamaws go from

grow from its bear head. All genders of shagamaw grow
antlers and shed them in the late fall.
Magical Uses: The horns from a shagamaw are used in
various enchanted musical instruments, especially those
that wreak havoc on others. Their fur and organs are use-
ful, especially for items that create chaos or unpredictable
effects. The fur of a shagamaw can be used to enhance
chromatic orb spells, fortify the target of a blink or mirror

the remains from a shagamaw requires the caster to roll a

Magimundi Classification
Snipe / Unigeminus grex
Family: Arboreal
Classification: Non-sapient
Manifestation: Corporeal
Habitat: The snipe can be found in temperate, tropical,
and subtropical zones. They live in wooded areas, such as
jungles or forests. They will occasionally infest a man-
made building, usually ones that are either unoccupied or
have areas that the inhabitants usually avoid. Gremlins
are a natural predator for snipes and a snipe infestation
may attract gremlins to the site.
Biology: An adult snipe can grow to 1-3 inches in
diameter. Snipe can live up to five or six years in the wild.
The antenna of the snipe can grow as long as 6 inches,
although this is very rare.
Magical Uses: Snipe fur and snipe spores are useful for a
variety of potions, including potions of healing. A smidge
of snipe spores will heighten a sleep spell. Snipe spores

Stoneclad
These protectors of the Earth are covered in living stone
and powered by the talismans embedded in their skin.
Magimundi Classification
Stoneclad / Homo petrosa
Family: Humanoid Chimerical
Classification: Para-sapient
Manifestation: Corporeal
Habitat: Stoneclads can withstand the elements and have
no need for shelter. However, they still prefer to live in
simple dwellings within Magimundi communities. Many
stoneclad prefer to live with their family and friends,
but they do eventually tend to congregate into smaller
sub-communities of just stoneclad. These communities
are often called stonetowns or stone ghettos, although
there are those who feel those terms are offensive.
Biology: Stoneclads have a thick coating of stone as their
dermis. Their bones and muscles are changed from human
to support the weight of their skin. They still breathe and
eat, but they no longer sweat, and have to release heat by
panting.
Magical Uses: None. The body and even gems of a
stoneclad are useless for further magic once the animating
force behind it is gone.
