Phasmoetia - The Bleeding Stake A large, territorial monster that makes its home in forest clearings. While its body is frail, and resembles that of desiccated wood, the blood that flows through its body has potent magical properties. By separating the magical plasma from its blood and letting it seep into the cracks in its shell, Phasmoetia can channel magic power through sigils that empower its body, giving it far greater strength and defensive abilities. By secreting plasma through the openings on its forelimbs, Phasmoetia draws similar sigils as those on its body around its territory. While posing as a dead tree, it uses these sigils to monitor for intruders, or trap prey that comes too close.
