ATWM Chapter-1

Yuthika grins as she watches how the boy bumps his shoulder with the girl, possibly his lover, and whispers something in her ear, making her blush deeply. She feels her heart getting light and is about to squeal when her ears catch a heavy, masculine voice singing her favourite song by a renowned and talented Bhuloka singer.

“Abhi abhi toh aayi ho, bahar banke chaai ho."

mannn thinking about Atwm coming back and Yugi taking care of him and everything and. I've got a universe where Kaiba drags him back and things just. aren't the same. Atem didn't really want to come back, and he's a little bitter and depressed about it. he has a hard time finding a job he cared enough about to show up to. he doesn't have much of a concept or concern for money. Yugi and him fight sometimes, but it's worse when they just. don't talk. and Yugi feels more alone than he did before because whatever semblance of a relationship he had with Kaiba pretty much ended as soon as Kaiba had Atem to mess around with instead.

This monster also appears in the first volume of “All the World’s Monsters”, under the name "Ape, Snake" (though "octorilla" is given as an alternate name). Don’t know whether that book came first or “Welcome to Skull Tower” did, but my guess is that you’re supposed to have AtWM1 for the Snake Ape/Octorilla’s stats. A few other monsters are also referenced that don’t show up in the trilogy proper but do show up in the AtWM series.

As an aside, I’ve always considered the octorilla to be Arduin’s answer to D&D’s owlbear, so it’s kinda funny you’ve mentioned that monster in your flavor text as well!

Octorilla

Image © Emperor's Choice Games, by William Watt.

[Commissioned by @crazytrain48. The octorilla is an Arduin monster with a long, but strange, history. An illustration first appears in the second volume of the Arduin Trilogy, Welcome to Skull Tower, and that book includes them on encounter tables. But there aren't stats for them (at least, I think. I only have a compilation of the Arduin Trilogy rather than each book separately). The first time I could find statistics is in the Arduin Eternal edition, which coincided with a very nice miniature from Emperor's Choice Games.

Note also that the octorilla only has six limbs. The name is clearly a portmanteau of "octopus" and "gorilla", ala the term "owlbear", rather than a description of their limbs.]

Octorilla CR 9 CN Magical Beast This creature resembles a humanoid ape, except that it has a beak instead of a mouth, and four slimy tentacles in place of its forearms.

Octorillas are yet another form of hybrid creature created by transmuters in an attempt to create useful servitors and warriors. By combining the clever problem solving of octopuses with the social structure of gorillas, the original creator of the octorilla was hoping that the resultant chimera would be a useful fighter and willing to follow orders. This had mixed results. Octorillas are smarter than, say, an owlbear, but they are independently minded and they are usually resentful of creatures that try to impose their will on them. Although some octorillas are still in captivity serving as moat monsters or palace guards, most of them are free living and free willed.

An octorilla is a fairly simple combatant—they wade into melee and grab prey with their slimy, suckered tentacles. If they don’t have a prey item grabbed, they can use their tentacles to swat arrows and bolts out of the sky. Their tentacles ooze a sticky slime that is mildly acidic. This helps octorillas break food down into small enough pieces in order to consume easily (like their octopus ancestors, their gut passes through the brain, limiting the size of what they can swallow). Octorillas are immune to toxins and resistant to corrosives, which allows them to live in a wide variety of environments, including polluted swamps, radioactive wastelands, or other challenging areas. They require plenty of water, but can survive in both salt and freshwater. Octorillas lair in areas with three dimensional structures to climb on, such as sea caves, coral reefs or tree-filled swamps.

Octorillas remain solitary for most of their lives. When the urge to mate takes them, multiple females will gather at a place with still water, and a male will mate with each of them. This harem will care for their eggs together, with the male assisting by provisioning food when females cannot hunt for themselves. Once the eggs hatch, the mating clutch disperses, but octorillas can recognize their own young and sometimes assist the larvae by bringing them prey. Juvenile octorillas are fully aquatic for their first year or so of life and amphibious thereafter.

Octorillas can be taught to understand a spoken language, and even to speak a few words roughly, but communicate amongst each other without one.

A creature struck by a tentacle attack takes 1 point of acid damage.

Here comes the mute anon, pulling Atwm into a hug. They gently nudged him to at least try and have him raise his head. Trying to say they cared as they gently rubbed cirles into his back, as if saying they were here for him now.

He slowly shook his head and kept his head down. The touches only worked to get him more visibly upset, or rather his walls slowly coming down. However Atem knew better. If Yugi threw those feelings away, who’s to say that this one won’t do the same. In his mind, that was the case at least.

So he just closed his eyes tightly and covered his mouth with a hand, trying to stop the tears from falling still and the cries and whimpers from coming out.

(OOC: i just realised i responded to the last post using ATWM... i keep fuckin using the wrong blog)

Kip: Well, I'll let them know!

I have some work to attend to now, but I'll talk to you again another time.

(@ask-onelife-au)

Kip: You're another Niko? That makes 2 I've encountered using this program. Even if you're the first I've spoken to..

How old are you? You and the other one both seem younger than the one from my world.

I'm 10!

You're the second Kip I've talked to here.

What's your world like?

ATWM (CH-2)

Yuthika looks up. Her eyes soften at the enchanting sight of blues and yellows. "Van Gogh, mother," she answers with a dreamy sigh. "I don't think I can ever get over this painting."

The swirling lines of the cosmos painted into the artwork make Tilottama feel hypnotised. "I appreciate this piece, but this arrangement never fails to make me dizzy. Don't you feel the same?"

Yuthika doesn't say a word. Her smile says it all, making her mother look fondly at her. "Sometimes, I believe, your soul accidentally entered an apsara's body. I don't think humans down there would be this fascinated with themselves like you."
