Shishigami are strange kami that resemble great stags and or kirins, they are said to be distantly related to unicorns. They have a powerful and elegant body somewhat like a moose, with a great mane of fur that comes from their necks, they also have a large crown of antlers on their head which shines a brilliant white. They can easily heal allied forest creatures as well fly across the night sky. Generally mujina and kitsune are known to both protect and keep shishigami secret from the outside world, for even in death their horns and head can fetch an incredible price for their healing properties, as they can be crushed into a powder used to create potions of supreme healing or used as is by a cleric to cast a mass cure wounds spell once a day. The horns will be gladly shed if someone simply asks the shishigami but since they are so mysterious and rarely talk this is largely unknown by the masses and only kitsune know of this secret. A Shishigami's LairA shishigami's lair is generally the deep forest heart or a great grove of bamboo but shallow lakes filled with lotus flowers and frogs are also common, especially surrounded by ancient trees of colossal size. Some shishigami enjoy living inside massive trees almost like an owl finding some long burned out hole inside the roots or trunk to rest in. Regional EffectsTransformed by the creature's celestial presence, the domain of a shishigami might include any of the following magical effects:
If the shishigami dies, these effects end immediately. |
