(M4A) Filling Out The Beast-iary

A young adventurer was at the cusp of starting his long journey into the wild. He envisioned himself taking on fierce enemies such as a dragon, a giant arachnid and other beasts twice his size. He had everything on him. Armor, potions, a sword and a hidden dagger. He was ready but before he could venture out the village guard would ask the adventurer what to do against a cave spitter. The adventurer was dumbfounded. Mouth agape as he let out an "uhh..." sound. The guard just shook his head muttering something about how naïve new adventurers are. He ordered the newbie to the library and personally escorted him, himself. The adventurer of course groaning and had no choice. He would enter the library as the guard walked up to the librarian informing her and asking her to keep an eye on him and to not leave until he's committed the book to memory and with that he promptly left.

The kind and middle aged librarian with a red mushroom cap for a hat would ask the adventurer to follow her as they walked through the many shelves of the expansive library. The further in they walked the more old and ancient the texts became until they entered a room with a single book. The adventurer dusted the book off. It was thick! Thicker than a beasts hide. It was a bestiary of the worlds current monsters. She instructed him to read it to which he obeyed not wanting to cause a fuss to the kind woman. She left with the promise of a sandwich and a drank and so he got to reading. He looked at the large alphabetical list and he started with the cave spitter first curious of what it is.

Cave Spitter: A creature that resides and burrows within the roof of caves. Viewing them on their backs show a hard and rough back, swords almost always shatter upon striking its back. It crawls on six legs that are powerful enough to climb and penetrate the rock walls of caves and pierce human flesh. They only attack when threatened or when they paralyze the threat. These insects will climb to the top of caves and create a sort of hole on the roof and slide inside allowing their mouths to drop and spray any creature with a paralyzing mucus at which point they'll drop down and do either one of two things. Kill and consume their prey alive or if they deem the prey suitable penetrate and deposit their eggs. It's best to leave them alone but should you find yourself in combat with one cover any exposed skin as one drop could paralyze half your body. Once they fire their mucus they're vulnerable as it takes an hour for them to produce more. Pin them down and pierce their soft underside.

The adventurer absorbed the knowledge and would keep reading. The librarian returning with a meal and drink as the adventurer would stop and ask her. "Miss. I have a question. How do people record these monsters?" "Oh well by watching them and of course fighting them. Some researchers have unique ways of studying. Some more effective than others. Now keep reading son and let me know once you're finished." And with that the adventurer is left to read and learn.

Cave Spitter: A 10 legged insect capable of producing and spitting out a paralyzing mucus created in it's neck sack. As the name implies these insects reside in caves. Their legs end in sharp tips as they're capable of piercing the rocky walls of the cave and human flesh if it ever comes to it. They climb up to the roof of caves and create a hole to hide all but their mouth so that they may drool or if prey is directly below, shower them in the mucus.

Killing these insects is rather difficult as they possess hard backsides that can withstand steel swords. Your beast and most effective way of slaying them is by stabbing their soft undersides. Their paralyzing mucus is incredibly potent as one single drop on exposed skin is enough to numb half a human body the effect lasts for 15 minutes. It's best to use a shield and cover yourself. When their prey is paralyzed they do either of two things. Consume and eat them alive or if they deem their prey suitable fuck and deposit their eggs within as their members can extend and reach a max length of 16 inches

Mleob: This disgusting abomination resides deep within caverns or within the depths of Hell. They are a malleable blob monster created from the fused carcasses of fallen warriors, people or whatever was nearby in their creation. Though squishy and incredibly slimy it cannot absorb it's victims as it instead needs to somehow swallow things whole. Bigger prey are a chore as their mouths are so displaced and varied in sizes that it's hard for them to "eat" so their diet consists of elves, rabbits and other small creatures but that does not mean they won't try. Despite being made of the flesh of multiple people it considers itself one being/entity. The creature is capable of speech but it's language is hard to pin-point. They are a threat as they'll try to suffocate their prey into their soft bodies and allowing their pulsing and writhing mass to assist.

Their way of movement is by rolling like a ball which is quite nauseating for it. Honestly this creature is just a ball of suffering. Unable to eat, speak and move. If you happen to find yourself devoured hole try to cut through them if possible or just keep moving in their stomach as it's easy to upset it. They cannot reproduce only having intercourse as a means of recreation and entertainment using chubby tendrils and tentacles to suck and penetrate on their partner.

Giant Slugs: Can be found roaming and slithering around forests, swamps and damp places. Their bodies are squishy and soft. They're pretty harmless. They're a bit slow but can't fight unless you encounter acidic slugs which are colored various shades of green. These adorable creatures can take a punch so if you must kill them for whatever reason it's best to use a sword or to burn them. Incendiary is more effective as they're able to regenerate lost portions of their bodies and the severed portion can also regenerate and become a new being though it takes time. If they happen to find a mate of varying species it will mount them and use their short tendrils to subdue them if they resist. Though slow they are incredibly quick and strong and if they must they can use their weight to pin you down making escape impossible.

These slugs can create and force feed their mate an aphrodisiac to make the process easier. Their forms of reproduction is impregnation. It's pretty difficult being defeated by these things but are a popular "pet" in certain villages. Their diet consists of fruits, grass and other much smaller insects.

Tentacle Pits: These pits are often sprinkled everywhere in the world. Dungeons, Hell, Deep forests, swamps and the gore lands. Either they're open holes or traps waiting for someone to step in and fall to their erotic doom. Residing in these pits are well... tentacles. Too many variations to count and too many methods of reproduction. As to how these things relocate it's unknown. Some say the tentacles belong to some body that burrows underground but I have yet to see it's true form if such a form exists. The tentacles either keep their prey forever or for a brief time to get it's rocks off.

They can be "slain" which is just essentially cutting a tentacle but no doubt 3 more will come from whatever hole it resides in and subdue you. Escape is... unfortunately fruitless so just hope it gets bored but be glad you get to eat. Eat it's seed at least. Sometimes they'll get tired of waiting and drag the nearest creature and you can guess what happens afterwards. I've never seen these pits actually eat so either it does not need to consume or it's diet is primarily exclusive to creatures or things underground.

Mimics: Self-explanatory. Creatures that often possess and disguise themselves as chests for unsuspecting adventurers. Their chest appearances vary and it's frankly unknown what their true body, if they have one. Looks like. But they always appear as chests large enough to fit and swallow a human whole. There is no telltale sign that a chest is a mimic visually. One will know until they open their maw. The inside of a mimic varies. Commonly it's a large gaping maw with rows of teeth and a tongue. Sometimes they are a mess of tentacles, sometimes possessing eyes and tongues. The more threatening mimics are the ones with hands ready to grab you and force you down its gullet.

They don't reproduce so it's unknown how more are created. Sometimes when they swallow their victim they spit them back out after a number of days. The victim of course alive but naked and having been fucked. Most likely it got bored of them. If you ever find yourself against a mimic it's recommended you use projectiles to kill it. Incendiary objects, poison and explosives are highly recommended to defeat one as their "chest" bolsters and becomes much more stronger.
