Kelpie

Amphibious conquerors who wish to be feared but cannot conquer the universal truth that frogs are funny. Rana Combatants have proved powerful largely as their enemies are often too busy laughing to fight back. Their Amphibian Assault techniques have conquered foes and left their summoners consumed by fits of laughter in Grelon and Mare Nostrum, leaving the froggy fighters with a frequent confused malaise. If they only wished to make the world a happier place, the Rana would want for nothing.

Though sailors on the high seas of Mare Nostrum refer to these unimaginatively as “Blue Drakes”, I believe this may be a distant relative of the Foscaran Kelpie, which I’ve classified as the Webbed Longneck-Goofbeak Kelpie. Its unusual appearance may lead bestiary authors to underestimate it, perhaps even taunt it during a field study, only to regret doing so when one of the things barfs up its Putrid Breath and stuns their sister with its stench.

Speculated to have evolved from a race of talkative furry creatures that humans kept as pets in the distant past of the 1990s. Biologists dismiss this idea as pure fantasy because stupid science has to ruin everything with stupid facts and stupid research. Fortunately, these furry foes are experts in Metal magic and making their allies move faster, all the better to smash up the labs of Delta Base.
