Name: Creature
Uncert: Cloaked (Official), Masked, Nekkid
Gender: Male
Breed: Mutated Pegasus
Availability: Experimenting with Bael (Nym)
Personality: Creature is cowardly by nature. He prefers the darkness of his home and territory rather than the sun that most ponies seem to seek out. Ponies... what a thought. He certainly doesn't consider himself a pony, or even a pegasus, for his wings are much too small and frail to carry him. Superstitious and jumpy, Creature tends to stay within the central murk of the swamp. The only thing that Creature doesn't seem to fear are the other denizens of the Blackmurk Swamp. Sure, he reasons that there are certainly some unsavory sorts nestled within, but who could be more ugly and unsettling to the eye than him? Surely any who look upon him will flee at the first chance they get, like many outsiders that have come into contact with him in the past.
Despite his fear of the world, Creature is inclined towards a good nature. On his brave days, he will circle the outer border of the Blackmurk and spook off travelers. It's at these times that he dons a cloak and thick mask. While he means to scare away anyone who tries to come into the swamp (believing that it's for their own good, as the swamp is not an easy place to traverse, and his own as a hermit) he doesn't want to traumatize them. His hooves and ominous eyes are usually enough to send others running for the hills. If a pony is persistent, he may reveal his entirety, but due to a conflicting fear of rejection, he'll rarely do as much.
Creature has heard of an interesting magic - of the glamour magic that changlings possess, or the illusion spells that kitsunes wield so well. While he's much too scared to venture out of the Blackmurk Swamp any time soon, if he should come across a changeling or kitsune within the swamp, he may try to tail them for several days, if it gives him any open ideas to how they work their craft and if there could be such a way to better cover his own, grotesque appearance that he loathes so much.
Creature tumbled out of his basket alone in the Blackmurk Swamp. Not knowing that there was anything "wrong" with him - for he was young and new to the world, Creature set out on his own to try and locate the aid of another, or perhaps just out of the desire to explore. While he did come across others, both locals and travelers alike, all took one look at him and screamed about how he was horrid swamp creature, a ghost or something called an "AAAAARGH". He realized it was not a positive reception and so began to seclude himself within the safety of the shadows that the swamp had to offer. He observed others from afar, learning how to fend for himself and learning time and time again not to approach the ponies, as they called themselves. They didn't want anything to do with Creature then and they never would later. Creature learned independence and capability on his own and while he is scared to approach any others, for the most part, he has grown into a descent, abominable thing, if he does say so himself.
Occupation: Resident swamp monster
Ambitions: To take the day one step at a time, I would like for him to eventually explore a future that dabbles between the following plots:
- Finding the courage to interact with traveling ponies, even if they flee from him at first sight.
- Interacting with a kitsune for the purpose of learning more about their illusion spells.
-Interaction with one (or several) changelings to try and figure out their glamour magic and if it can be recreated in other breeds.
- (partially joking) finding his way into a beauty salon and having his skincare routine updated
- Interacting with the current (or future) denizens of the Blackmurk Swamp
- Finding love?? I always want the best romantic lives for my ponies, but he would require some serious plotting to get to a point where he can open his heart up like that to someone - to anyone, really!
