KNACKER

“My family’s worked that mine for four generations. Now you’re going
to shut it down. You say that’s business and I should understand. Fine.
But I telling you right now, you better take care of the knackers…”
At this the old dwarf snorted loudly. Undeterred, Aldan continued,
“If you don’t, then they’ll be out to get you.” The dwarf snorted again,
even louder. “Fine. It’s your funeral.”
Tactics. Knackers that have gone bad will try to use the mine itself as their
primary weapon, leading the party into dangerous areas. If confronted
directly, they will attempt to destroy any light sources and then gang up
on the most dangerous combatants, preferring to attack dwarves above
all others.

Few miners ever see a knacker, but when they’re drawn to a mine they
make their presence known — workers will hear the echoes of a pickaxe
even during a work-break, tools will sometimes go missing or show up
unexpectedly, and, most favoured of all, miners trapped by a cave-in will
somehow find a way out of the mine or the tap-tap-tap of a hammer will
lead rescuers straight to them. Those who do see knackers, usually
after they’ve gone bad, say that they are short and stout, somewhat
resembling dwarves but seem to be made of grey shadows and dust.
When roused, their eyes glow red like coals.

Unasked for Help. The presence of any large mining or

underground construction operation is likely to catch the attention
of the knackers. They come, unbidden, and move into old sections
of the tunnels or hard-to-reach areas. Entranced by the project,
they stay and help the miners in many small ways. They’re not
picky, and will help goblins and kobolds as readily as humans
or halflings. They tend to avoid dwarves for unknown reasons.

Unwilling to Leave. No mine or project lasts forever, and the

inhuman knackers are reluctant to leave any dig, even if it’s bone-
dry. If the miners make a great show of thanking the knackers
and leave them gifts (pure iron is the best) then they will move
on peacefully. If not, they will haunt the mine forever, digging new
passageways that go nowhere, undermining existing tunnels to the
near point of collapse and creating many dangerous vertical shafts.
If adventurers disturb them, they will find themselves harassed
unceasingly by the tommyknockers who cannot be placated,
except by the descendants of the original workers.

QUICKSILVER TROLL
These mutated trolls have been changed by some sort of
alchemical process and now their blood and flesh are suffused
with quicksilver. They are faster than other trolls but weaker
in body.

Their external flesh is still green but it is now suffused with

a sheen and their eyes glow brightly in any light. If the troll
is wounded, their blood is silver and clings to any weapon in
globular rivulets.

Quick. These trolls move quicker, react quicker and

think quicker than their counterparts. They react
to any threat with surprising swiftness and are also
capable of more complex planning than their slower
brethren.

Liquid Flesh. Quicksilver trolls also have the ability

to render their flesh into a liquid-like state, the better
to absorb damage from a piercing or slashing weapon.
Bludgeoning weapons still do their regular amount of
damage as the impact is spread over a broader area.

Tactics. Though smarter than their regular cousins, quicksilver

trolls are still indiscriminately hungry monsters that devour anything
they can catch. They will rely on their higher speed and stealth to get
in close to an enemy, then attack a target. They shy away from fires and
spellcasters. If badly hurt, they will try to retreat and hide long enough to
recover from their damage only to attack again once healed.

A dark cloak, seemingly filled with smoke in the vaguest shape of a humanoid
stands over its victim. Its body crackles with residual magical energy. Small,
yellow pinpoints of light serve as its eyes. Silently it begins to drift away from
the dead mage…

A Solitary Rumour. The legend of the spell-thief persists among those that
study the arcane. Its origin is usually given as a practitioner trying too hard to
make a servant that could study (or steal) the works of another magic user. But
the legends rarely say if there is a single spell-thief that wanders from place
to place or if they are many. If so, what draws them here and not elsewhere?

Incomplete Spellcraft. The tales also tell that the workings that made the
spell-thief were incomplete, though the exact nature of the failing changes
from telling to telling, causing some to believe that there are many spell-
thieves of different types in the world. In any case, there is also at least one
kind of magic that the spell-thief has a hard time stealing, and this may be its
downfall.

Tactics. Before the combat begins, randomly determine the school of magic
that the spell-thief is vulnerable to. This can change its tactics, as it will often
want to take actions that don’t prompt an enemy magic user to select a spell of
the school that it is weak against. No matter what, the spell-thief seeks power
and will easily retreat before a determined enemy, especially if it has more
Power dice now than when it began the encounter.

HÖLINGEAN
These giants have rejected the greater organisation of giant-kin and strive
to make their own way in remote parts of the world. They live in hilly
areas, usually the foothills of mountains, in small clan-groups. During the
summer, the clan-groups disperse and the giants wander as far as they can,
hoping to meet new mates. Holingeans are almost never monogamous
and any summer-time dalliances are well known to be temporary affairs,
not worthy of any jealousy. The rest of the year, the clan-groups raise
children communely and study the patterns of magic in the world.

Recording the Weave. Hölingeans are very sensitive to the ebb and flow
of magic. After studying a spell’s effects for some time, a giant will create
a mystical tattoo that embodies that spell’s pattern in the weave. They can
then summon the magical power at need. Since the tattoos must be exposed
to use, hölingeans wear little clothing. Fortunately they don’t perceive
temperature extremes like other folks.

Pet Magic-users. Most hölingeans usually avoid humanoids and only

seek out magic-users when they have become particularly obsessed with
recreating a spell’s effect. Magic-users are well-treated by the giants, but it is
made clear to the spellcaster that they can only leave when the hölingeans
are satisfied. A captive magic-user is made to cast the target spell over
and over again, until the giants have totally internalised its pattern.

Tactics. If challenged, hölingeans will gladly engage in combat,

trying to pick up and slam as many opponents as possible. If the
fight lasts more than a couple of rounds, they will start to use their
magic, in order to enlarge themselves, or give themselves blur or
haste. Hölingeans are individualistic and rarely use any sort of
combined tactics.

to eat us all.” successful DC 10 Wisdom (Perception) check. For each point over the DC,
one spiracle is identified.
There is a nightmare land where great rivers lose their strength and seem
to forget their direction, where in sight of the sea they overspill their banks
to form great salt marshes, trickling ever wider, engulfing more and more
of the once fertile lands that surround them. In these trackless, placeless
wildernesses, amid the rot and death of green things, roam nightmare
creatures, born of old magic and pestilence.

Travellers in such places may be forgiven for striking out

across the salty bog toward what appears to be
solid land: a rocky outcrop where they might
build a fire and dry out their sodden clothing
and equipment. But the wiser traveller is aware
that not all safe havens are what they seem.

A living boulder. Like a great stinking knot of calculus, the

swamp boulder can lie in a salt marsh for centuries, slowly accreting
the minerals that form its great bulk. Trees live their entire
lifespan from seed to rotting husk on the back of a swamp
boulder without it ever moving. When however it does
move, a swamp boulder does so with incredible speed
and can exert terrifying force. Its great mouth opening
and clamping shut on the unwary, trapping them inside
its bulk to be digested over the course of decades.

A swamp boulder most often attacks when prey is

close to its mouth, or when prey can be shaken from
its back and then swallowed.

Underneath its rocky bulk, there are four or more

appendages which the swamp boulder uses to very
occasionally move itself. For most of its lifespan these
remain tucked underneath itself, very rarely moving.

Showing no signs of eyes, a face or head, the

swamp boulder appears to be a single large rocky
outcrop, or a collection of large boulders. Covered
in slimy swamp weeds, dying trees, ropes of swamp
vines, tangled roots and sodden moss, a swamp
boulder hardly ever moves, and is very difficult to
tell apart from a large boulder.

A breathing rock. The giveaway signs, to those in

the know, are the proliferation of deep holes across
its surface. These are often obscured by a
buildup of mud and rotting foliage. Once
per hour one of these holes will emit a long,
slow breath, which gives every appearance of
being more of an expulsion of flatulence than
respiration.
A creature may use its action to attempt to block or damage a spiracle. A
successful hit roll allows a creature to jam a weapon into a spiracle will
cause the swamp boulder to shut that spiracle for one day. A successful
DC 12 Strength (Athletics) check allows a creature to block a spiracle with
some suitable material as an action.
Once all spiracles are blocked, the swamp boulder will open its huge
mouth, often running around three quarters of its circumference, ejecting
anything inside along with a wave of acidic slime. The swamp boulder
will keep its mouth open for 2d4 rounds while it re-oxygenates, allowing
attacks on its soft inner parts. Once re-oxygenated, the swamp boulder
will immediately slam shut and begin to burrow down into ground until
it is entirely buried. If slain without the spiracles blocked, the swamp
boulder’s mouth must be located and then prised open with a suitable
lever.
Tactics. When a group of creatures gets too close to a swamp boulder it
uses its high speed to rush forward at a creature and engulf them. Once
satisfied that it has a meal it then retreats and relies on its thick outer
hide to protect it while it digests the creature. If badly hurt or if most of
its breathing spiracles are blocked, it may burrow down into the swamp,
eventually emerging in a different location several minutes later.

HEOPAPUCAN
Briar goblingas are dangerous fey creatures, somewhat akin to
ylves, that live in the Forest. They occasionally emerge to trouble
people, attacking farms, stealing crops and livestock, and then
returning to their hidden homes in the woods.

Defeatable. If a briar gobling starts its turn with 10 or less
hit points, it must make a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw.
On a failed saving throw, the gobling becomes defeated. A
defeated gobling will try to Disengage or Dash in order to
escape the battle.
Forest Camouflage. The gobling’s splotchy colouration
gives advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to
hide in wooded terrain.
Keen Hearing and Smell. The gobling has advantage on
Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.
Nimble Escape. The gobling can take the Disengage or
Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns.

one target. Hit: 6 (1d6+3) piercing damage.
Hunting Bow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range
80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6+3) piercing damage.
Origin of the Name. Briar goblingas are so named because of
persistent rumours that they can change their size and hide in
and amidst the briars and brambles of the Forest. In reality, they
usually have underground warrens dug out under the big roots of
the giant trees of the Forest or in a cave nearby.
Strange Appearance. Contrary to rumour, briar goblingas are
not invisible. Instead, their skin is a patchwork of colours that
change with the season, from bright greens of new growth in
spring, to more mature greens and browns in summer, a riot of
autumn colours and then faded shades of grey and white during
wintertime.
Tactics. Briar goblingas will use their superior stealth and
camouflage to attack from advantageous locations with their
hunting bows for as long as possible. They are fierce in close
combat, but wily enough to use their ability to Disengage to
attempt to hide from an enemy or get range on them again.
Other Settings
In BEOWULF: Age of Heroes, the Forest is a
primordial thing — humans build their kingdoms on
or near the coast, in order to have access to the seas,
where ships ferry supplies, wealth, Heroes and others
to and fro. Sometimes people disappear into the Forest,
sometimes monsters emerge from it. Briar goblingas are
one such foe; while not strong enough to be a Monster
(like Grendel or his mother), they are still dangerous
spirits. Yes, spirits, much like ylves (elves) and dweorhas
(dwarves), they are not exactly mortal creatures, though
they can be killed and will flee rather than die.
If you want to use the goblingas (goblins) in other
settings, you can remove the Defeatable feature. This is
a reference to BEOWULF’s defeated condition and a
recognition that not everyone (or everything) fights to
the death. Or you might want to keep it and have it serve
as a reminder that only the most desperate and fanatical
willingly die in battle.
Also, it is likely that you’ll change the monster type from
fey to humanoid or whatever is appropriate to the setting.
And perhaps add an alignment — goblingas seem fairly
chaotic and rarely concerned about helping others.
In those other settings, they might live in other places:
deep and mysterious woods are still a good place for
them, but they might also inhabit the tunnels beneath
ruined lands and cities, deep under the mountains or
even wander the lonely lands where no one else dares
venture.
