Voidseer
Tiny monstrosity, neutral evil
The Voidseer is a strange and unsettling creature created by dark wizards and corrupted druids. It manifests as a tiny, golden-scaled beast with a slender body and spindly arms. Its eyes are solid black and unblinking, giving it an otherworldly appearance. The creature is adorned with red, filmy wings that allow it to flutter effortlessly through the air. Perhaps the most unnerving feature of the Voidseer is its single large eye, positioned above a tiny, tooth-filled maw.
It possesses a heightened level of intelligence and is capable of telepathically conveying information with perfect clarity to its creator. This ability makes it an invaluable tool for guarding domains and aiding in arcane research. The Voidseer relies on its offensive spellcasting abilities to defend itself, preferring to attack from a distance. Its attacks are relentless and precise, utilizing powerful magic to unleash devastating assaults on its foes. Additionally, it possesses the ability to whip its tendrils as a last resort when attempting to escape danger.
Operating as a solitary entity, the Voidseer is a creature of mystery, its origins shrouded in the manipulation of dark forces. Its existence blurs the line between the Prime Material Plane and the Ethereal Plane, allowing it to seamlessly shift between the two realms. This makes it an elusive and formidable adversary, capable of launching surprise attacks and retreating to the safety of the Ethereal Plane when threatened. Encountering a Voidseer is an eerie and disconcerting experience, as its presence and abilities speak of an otherworldly influence that pervades its very being.
