The Eater of Worlds (5e Race)
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: An extradimensional evil monster that is better than changeling doesn't seem like a good PC choice. This has changeling's properties and ridiculous traits about rolling for intimidation when rolling over 18 on an attack roll? And also advantage after 27 hours, why even.

This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Incomplete Fluff, and H&W table.

The Eater of Worlds[edit]
| “ | The Turtle spoke in Bill’s head, and Bill understood somehow that there was yet Another, and that Final Other dwelt in a void beyond this one. This Final Other was, perhaps, the creator of the Turtle, which only watched, and IT, which only ate. | ” |
Physical Description[edit]
As a shapeshifter, The Eater of Worlds is able to become whoever and whatever It wants. The form of a female spider seems to be It's true physical form on Earth, or at least that is the closest thing the human mind can comprehend.

History[edit]
It is a shape-shifting creature known as a Glamour, who is billions of years old. Although It lived on planet Earth for many years, It originated in a void/dimension outside the regions of space known as the Macroverse. Since It's true identity is unclear, due to its shape-shifting abilities and being from another universe, It's real name and species are also called Deadlights, but few know this, which is why it's referred to as IT.
