Emosoba (5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
Emosoba[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
There is no specific form for these beings, but one thing is for sure, they can't change the form they took when they traveled to the mortal realm. There are recodings of them having a humanoid form, the form of a beast, a plant-like form, being formless and even having the form of rocks and boulders.
One thing in common between all of them is that the color of their skin/fur/plumage/mass can change depending of their feelings/the feeling of the sorrounding creatures.
History[edit]
This creatures aren't born, they are a fraction of the dream realm. In order to be brought to the mortal realm there are some specific conditions that must be met. This creatures appear in places in which a big concentration of the same emotion is met and then disappear very quickly, leaving nothing in the process. This happens so that the great fluctuation of emotions can't damage the integrity of both the dream and the mortal realms. Erradication of sects while gatherings are breeding ground for emosobas appearances.
Even from primordial recordings, in the mortal realm, they have always been treated as gods and deitys, but there are also recordings of them being treated as abominations and unnatural.
They can recall being not alive, being an extension of a realm, being brought to the mortal realm.
