Domovoi are massive fungal creatures that have several lesser fungal growths growing on its body. They are known for using their grappling ability to hold on to foes while the fungal symbiotes on their back attack. Domovoi can generally be harmless, dwelling in the outhouses and graveyards of villages happily decaying matter and rotting corpses deep below the rich black soil of the farmlands. These sleeping domovoi are generally considered good to the peasant because they produce copious amounts of black "humus" or fertilizer as they hibernate and devour rotting offal. But when domovoi are roused from their slumber and they are starving they become wicked with rage and hunger and begin ambushing peasants and travelers in the forests and roads of the lands of the Vyzantine Empire. |
