Creatures of Orrosh

Creatures of Orrosh

Part 1 – Apparition to Pariah

Below is a list of creatures that were converted from Torg to Dark Conspiracy. These are from the Creatures of Orrosh Sourcebook. I only picked the creatures that were either not already in Dark Conspiracy or that I thought would fit.Included with each creature is a Dark Conspiracy Tie-In section, which are suggested ways to work the creature into the Dark Conspiracy Mythos. The GM can choose to use these creatures anyway he or she sees fit. This is why not a lot of background and “fleshing out” is written here – primarily to leave the GM with maximum flexibility without loosing the feel of the original creature design. Sections like The Mythology , The Reality , The Behavior and Reproduction are left open for the GM to interpret.

Notes

Evil creature that take the form of a priest or priestess of a particular faith. It appears human dressed in priestly garb, but the horror is most distinguished by the flow of blood from the forehead area. It walks very slowly, with a low moan sounding from its lips, and hands clasped in a mockery prayer. The moans up close are actually more like maniacal laughs. Appears before the devoutly faithful and distraught, feeding on the fear when it appears.

Supernatural Weapons/Abilities

Empathic Terror – Use of Human Empathy to cause utter terror in a human, and draw from on the life as it flows through the fear. Can literally scare a person to death.

Human Empathy to cause utter fear in its victims.

Dark Conspiracy Tie-In

This can be turned into a twisted Vampire-Catholic church plot. Anything supernatural when dealing with the Catholic Church adds a new level of creepiness. You shouldn’t need my help to create a cool mythology for this one.

When the creature successfully enters a victim, usually through the ear, it tunnels it way to the brain, and lays eggs. The young precedes to eat the brain of the victim. This slowly drives the victim mad with pain, then kills him. Brain Swarms are winged insects in adult stage, but are ant-like when young. An attack Swarm is made up of worker drones to distract the victim while the queen looks for an entry way into the victim.

Notes

Human in appearance, this demonic creation usually is used to direct lesser beings, like the Children, to do the Dark Lords’ bidding. They take care of the charge as if they were their real birth mother, with a twisted sense of love and affection. They also have been known to hire out as maids or nannies, where they would murder the entire family after gaining their trust. Vulnerable to the Empathic impressions of an innocent.

Notes

Classic representation of the devil, it is a result of the empathic impressions brought on by fear of thousands of citizens in this Dark World. So many believed that it was the Devil that was causing all the worlds woes, that a Dark Lord decided to funnel the power of those fears into creating these demons. The stronger the peoples fear of the evil, the stronger the creature gets. These creatures don’t like to simply kill, they like to torture. Vulnerable to Empathic Exorcism

Natural Weapons/Abilities

Horns, claws, teeth

Supernatural Weapons/Abilities

Human Empathy, Darkling Empathy

Dark Conspiracy Tie-In

Interesting Twist: Picture a Human Sorcerer/Dimensional traveler who wants to create the first Dark Lord that originates from Earth. With the use of some Dark Tech, he is able to focus the worlds woes, fears, and beliefs in a Devil into one Empathic creation; The Devil. Of course, the other Dark Lords probably would look too kindly on that.

Notes

There are only 6 in existence, created to subdue the American Indian mystic threat. They stem from the Amer-Indian myths of manitous, souls of corrupted medicine. Their power lies in their eyes, and are usually mystics or sorcerers with powers to defeat the Indian empaths. They use Human Empathy and hypnosis to control their victims and drive them to suicide. They also have shapeshift ability (into a crow or coyote)

Supernatural Weapons/Abilities

Doctor’s Little Helper

These (along with the Killer VCR) were not cool enough for me. I thought it would be better to create a whole class of Minion called ” Possessed Inanimates” or “Twisted Inanimates”. I didn’t want to spend the time on it, so I leave that up to you.

It is sentient in and of itself, and Empathically charms a perspective owner into buying it.

As time goes on, the fur merges with the owner, turning the owner into a were-beast.

Notes

Twisted creation of a Dark Lord called Dr. Sconce Majestic, from a protodimension of twisting flesh. It is formed from a humanoid body, and has multiple heads stitched or otherwise merged with the torso, chest and back of the humanoid body. These heads are usually in various stages of decay, and silently scream as they writhe in pain and insanity. It feeds every two to three days on human flesh, and once it does, it sprouts a new head. Not much else is known of these creatures, other then they generate great fear in the areas they reside. Weakness: Photograph of a victim who’s head is part of it’s thrawl. Death: Severing all the heads.

Notes

Traditionally used as guardians to caves, or fortresses used by Dark Minions, they are formed from victims of the minions, trespassers onto their lairs. Their death wound is usually plainly visible. They stand guard, headless forms holding their own head, which remains animated. When a passer-by comes across a shrieker, it lets out a horrible scream, as if in utter and total agony. The passer-by must pass a Difficult: Willpower check to get passed. If they fail, the victim doubles over in pain and experiences waking nightmares of incredible horrors. If they succeed, they may move on, but the shriek may have alerted others. Empathic occult rituals usually destroy these creatures. Normal weapons do no damage vs. this creature.

Notes

Created by Dark Lord Toll, in a protodimension he himself modeled after the Earth-religions’ versions of hell (a twisted merging of all the interpretations), these were modeled after the Hindu temple statues. In their dormant form, the appear as stone or metal statues. They have animated spirits within them (related to the Animated Statue minion). They appear as three or four armed humanoids (male or female) with burning eyes of flame, and red or blue skin. When in statue from, they can still detect victims using Empathy. They traditionally haunt abandoned Hindu temples all over the world. When the Hexaphin is hit to the point of death, but not True Death, it shatters. If left alone, it will regenerate in time starting with the largest piece. Weakness: Empathically-enhanced (enchanted) Hindu holy objects. True Death: Skatter the pieces into a fire blessed by a Hindu priest.

Natural Weapons/Abilities

Armor: Thick Skin: 1-Nil (Flesh Mode) & virtually indestructible in Statue Mode, short of explosives (GM call); claws; fangs; Ignores multi-action penalty to attack twice.

Supernatural Weapons/Abilities

Human and Darkling Empathy, Shapeshifting: Stone or Metal

Dark Conspiracy Tie-In

Idea: Because the world of Orrosh centers around Hindu dominated areas, this particular creature is more geared towards that. There can be other versions of this for each religion, like Devils, Angels, or Saints. Any statue that resides in a place of worship could probably be substituted.

Notes

* Movement : Astral Travel & Proto-dimensional Travel

There is a protodimension of pure hatred and anger, of desire and passion. It was formed when a Dark Lord was executed by other Dark Lords for his over zealousness and want to rule over all other Dark Lords. This Protodimension is simply called Id. An Id Wolf is a creature formed when a powerfully mad human or other sentient being of Earth dies. This being is usually totally insane and bent of revenge of his death. His life force is so strong that it taps into the Id Protodimension, and rather than form a normal apparition, it creates this creature of pure hatred and desire; the Id Wolf. It is a non-corporeal creature that lives half in this world, half in the Id Protodimension. They have also been known to invade the Astral Plane to feed on the occasional victim. It usually exists to carry out the vengeful wishes of it’s creator. When they appear, and that’s usually only when they attack, they look like transparent wolves with fiery eyes, and pelts. They can attack physically with Spirit Claws or Empath

Natural Weapons/Abilities

The Id Protodimension is my creation. That should be enough tie-in alone. If not, any werewolf plot line will do.

Kangawere

This is a creature that goes so far out of the concept of Dark Conspiracy, I decided to leave it out. It’s too AD&D-like to fit in this kind of horror. It just seems like a hodge-podge of concepts thrown under the guise of a Kangaroo. It also is specific to the Australia area, which really limits it’s preacticality in DC.

Notes

Killjoys are demonic-clowns that create fear in small towns that carnivals are visiting. Taking advantage of the vulnerability of festive people, the torment passer-by in parks and dark alleys near the Carnival or Circus, by lulling them with their hypnotic ability and performing horrific tricks that might hurt them, but otherwise only tears apart their sanity. They are most vulnerable when one uses their own props against them. They rarely attack more then one person at a time, and even more rarely kill anyone. They simply spread fear through out the world. They are particularly vulnerable to attack from their own “weapons”.

Notes

From a protodimension of twisted flesh, pain and anguish come victims of this realms Dark Lord. The Knot Man was born of an urban legend that a Dark Lord decided to capitalize on. It was an tale of a twisted man, turned inside out and muscles and limbs twisted in knots. It was used to scare children, saying the Knot Man would get them if they didn’t behave. But in fact it’s true. The Knot man is in constant agony, a low moan always emanating from his mouth. Blood pours out of it’s inside-out eye sockets, and it’s mouth. It moves around very slowly, every move a task in agony. The Dark Lord made a deal with these victims however. If they can kill and drink the blood of 1,001 “innocent and uncorrupted” victims, they can be freed from their agony. Particular vulnerable to Empathic Mystic Attack (Double effect) and Empathically Enhanced Water (Holy Water). The Knot Man is a being of fear, hatred, disgust … and pity.

“Site Stealers”, empathic creatures that have a twisted fascination with human site. They like to rob a victim of their site by gouging their eyes out with their spoon shaped fore-finger, and feed off the victim’s trauma and terror. Appear as gaunt, pale humanoids about 2 meters tall. Their spoon finger (on the left hand) has a microscopic serrated edge. They are very stealthy.

Murder Masks are like Animated objects in that they contain a malevolent spirit.

Notes

Oraphim are based on an ET religion called Sacellum, and are modeled after the religion’s Angel’s of Vengeance. But they are more than that. The Dark One that created them wanted to strike fear in the hearts of all ETs, and made these creatures very ruthless. Overkill does not exist for these creatures. They appears as giant “wheels” of fire with 7 eyes in the center. They live in a protodimension of fire and can be summoned by opening a doorway to that dimension, but usually the summoner is immediately killed by the heat. They are resistant to all forms of fire, and most normal weapons.

Notes

Pariah are spirits of once mortal beings, that have not passed on because of something unfulfilled. The remain on Earth because of their regret, anguish, and sadness. This negative emotion empathically ties them to the Earth until their needs can be fulfilled. The Dark Ones have entrapped them to spread fear, while at the same time they feed of the Pariah’s own negative Empathic energies. These spirits can be released if their needs are accomplished, but one has to make an Empathic link to them to communicate what that need is.
