Bestiary: Demi-Astrae

Creatures of purely magical descent, yet with material bodies. The Demi-Astrae are mostly constructs or elementals, but some of them express high intellect.

Natural Demi-Astrae
These Demi-Astrae are born into Ardalore rather than created by spellcasters.

Nymphs
Main page: Bestiary: Nymphs

Appear like female humans or Elves with a large influence from the element they are tied to. Nymphs come in many variations according to the biotopes they spawn in - forests, clearings, lakes, ponds to name a few.

Mimics
Main page: Bestiary: Mimics

While they seem like something created by spellcasters, noone has ever created a Mimic. Thus they must be naturally occuring.

Gremlins
Main page: Bestiary: Gremlins

Spawn in areas with a high density of complex and/or magical items and try to eat them.

Artificial Demi-Astrae
These are almost always constructed by spellcasters and their intellect thus depends on what is given to them as their creation. Rogue magic may, however create some artificial Demi-Astrae and one anecdote even tells of an Earth Elemental settlement created by rogue elementals.

Elementals
Main page: Bestiary: Elementals

Created from magic and made of magic, these creatures are the embodiment of the magical aspect they belong to. They are sometimes mistaken for true Astrae, but a Fire Elemental is made from 'real' fire.

Golems
Main page: Bestiary: Golems

Close to Elementals in nature, but infused into already-present materials rather than conjured entirely.
