[ttrpg-smash-pass-vs]

On the left, Weretiger. Can become a tiger, a person, or a larger tiger-person hybrid with a husky voice and tendency to roll thier R's. They like to keep tidy little cottagecore cabins in the woods, full of herb gardens and cats and poultry and such. They tend stay near people because they like occasional company and have favored mates, but not too close because they value privacy and don't care to spread thier curse (why make more hunting competition).

On the right, Arcanaloth! 6ft tall (1.8 m), clever, omnilingual, and can alter their appearance! They love learning and reading, magic and secrets and magical secrets! Believe it or not, despite their silver tongued tendencies they're actually generally truthful, preferring to just negotiate and barter. Also, it's rather specific that breeding with any other species doesn't result in a child, so no chance of an accident.

ALSO, for clarification: Yes, feline penises are typically "barbed." In tigers these are dull and less than 0.03 inches (0.7 mm) in even largest recorded specimens. aka the size and thickness of a dull and trimmed fingernail, even made of the same material. With most other cats they're much larger, but they're negligible in this species

Arcanaloth Portrait 2023

[ravenbohique]

Token for the Arcanaloth. High-ranking yugoloths that covet knowledge and magic and act as record keepers for daemons.

Ever consider that D&D might have too many planes?

I mean, those are just the evil-aligned outer planes. There’s nine more.

Arcanaloths (pronounced: /ɑːrˈkɑːnəloʊθz/ ar-KAN-uh-lothz), or arcanadaemons (pronounced: /ɑːrˈkænɑːdeɪmʌn/ ar-CÆN-a-day-mun), were greater yugoloths known for their covetousness of information and arcane power. The sly fiends were the record keepers of the yugoloths and scribes of Gehenna, managing transactions for services rendered in the Blood War.

“An arcanaloth. Loyal to neither side in the Blood War. Always making a deal with everyone. They are as slippery as a greased basilisk and just as deadly.” — The cambion Zaxarus

Arcanaloths appeared as 6 ft (1.8 m) tall humanoids with the heads of fanged jackals or war dogs. Protruding out from the top of their skulls was a pair of ivory, whitish horns. They kept themselves well groomed and dressed in immaculate robes, but often wore disgruntled expressions. When conducting negotiations they took on the guise of other humanoids, replacing their hateful snarls with charming smiles.

Arcanaloths were a relatively civilized breed of yugoloth, possessing both keen minds and silvered tongues. They were business minded and somewhat surly, but were generally truthful and had expertise in manipulation and diplomacy. Their kind had earned a negative reputation for being adulating, avaricious and conniving in their dealings, and it was true that they viewed all around them as stepping stone to reach the rank of ultroloth.

Within the feudal hierarchy of Gehenna, arcanaloths were responsible for commanding units of lesser yugoloths while keeping track of their contracts, records, and accounts. Their schemes were not in service to their kind but meant to bolster their own power and reputations, dependent as they were on their careful judgement.

Arcanaloths were rumored to have originated within the Abyss but had been driven out by the demon lords due to their deceptive nature. It was also claimed that both the raavastas and rakshasas were the descendants of the arcanaloths, a notion supported by their mutual greed, but quickly dismissed as slander by the more honorable rakshasas.

Curse of Strahd nation! I come bearing gifts... Neferon! The insufferable!

[ID: Digital drawing of Neferon (he/it) as an enfield; the combination of a red fox, grey wolf, vulture, and 1% raptor. His legs are grey wolf legs spread widely apart, his tail is a raptor tail with vulture feather patterns swooping to the right, his head is a red fox with scraggly facial hair feathers, and vulture wings are sprouting from the mid-upper arm to its pinkie fingers. The patterns on the wings go from orange to brown to black with tiny white spots. He is wearing scholar's robes from Bloodborne, in various states of disrepair. A gray collar pokes out from under his black vest. He wears black pants that are cut off at the knees. The shirt sleeve on the right is completely torn off with frayed strings sticking out, and the other sleeve can be seen completely rolled up. He has a long overcoat with a red trim, the long sleeves roll down to its shoulders due to gravity. He also wears a small pair of circular yellow glasses that hang loosely on his face by a golden chain. He is holding a glowing crystal ball in his left hand, emitting a faint white light on his body. The orb shows the faint image of Strahd's furious face. Neferon is laughing maniacally, his head looking at the ball and head tilted away from the camera, licking his face with his long tongue. His right hand is lifted high and his clawed fingers are curled in various positions as he casts magic on the orb, his feathered wings are spread out and are magnificent.]

On the right is the werewolf. I don't need explain what a werewolf is. It can be a wolf, a person, or a larger wolf person. Normal people, but with the constant undercurrent urge to go wild. Look, all the writers do is rant about "it could be evil or maybe not OR MAYBE SOMETIMES." because they, like me, know you know what this is.

Vaathra, the Arcanaloth.

Full design sheet for her. Hopefully, some day soon, I want to draw up her supporting cast.

Currently, she's the Fiend Patron for my Warlock in my current D&D campaign.
