The Bonemire, as it became known, was first documented in A'arde in Firewane of Y6A 1478. The Blue Wolf Mercenary Group, tasked with finding out how and why the water supply of Fuldair had been contaminated, discovered the creature in the southern reservoir and were forced to engage in combat. Nobody is certain of where it came from, but it is clear that this is not a native of A'arde's Plane, nor of any other, in the cosmology. It is possible that the creature travelled from another cosmology alongside the many cosmological "visitors" (often referred to as "Interlopers") that were unceremoniously dropped into A'arde on the Night of the Violet Stars. It is currently unknown if the Bonemire discovered in Fuldair was the only one to arrive within A'arde.
Description
The Bonemire was described as having a canid-like spine, shoudlers, forearms and a head resembling a coyote, though its fingers were longer, the "dew claw" more like a thumb, and the claws themselves were eight inches in length. From head to end of the spine, the creature measured fourteen feet in length with the head making up almost five feet of that length. Surrounding its body was a clear, viscous ooze that it could manipulate at will, and it could climb walls and ceilings without hindrance. The bones of the creature were devoid of flesh, muscle or sinew, apparently held together by the ooze surrounding it, though inside of its skull glowed with sickly green light.
Behaviour and Abilities
The ooze of the Bonemire was highly acidic, and it was capable of almost completely disguising itself while within water. The Bonemire tended to fight with tooth, claw and pseudopod, often grappling its foes or trying to force them into the water with it. Additionally, it was resistant to magic and was able to repel a certain amount of any cold damage it was inflicted with. It's most dangerous weapon, however, was an acidic lance which it spat from its mouth that could travel up to ninety feet in a straight line. Clever and patient, it was capable of stalking its foes before attacking when it was in an advantageous position, and it knew when to retreat from combat.
Ecology
Little is known of the ecological facts of the Bonemire, as only one has ever been found.
Taming, Harvesting and Taxidermy
Only one known specimen is known to exist within A'arde; research into the creature is still underway.
Locations of Known Specimens
Blue Wolf Mercenary Group, Fuldair
The BWMG in Fuldair has the original and only known specimen stored within their care. The specimen was killed and retrieved from the underground reservoirs of the city's water supply by a team of Elites prior to the People's Revolt of Fuldair, when the Silver Hand failed to provide adequate investigations into the matter of the contaminated water supplies.
