Wood Clan

Second only to the Rock Clan is the diverse and lively Wood Clan of Cryptids dwelling in the depths of The Elysian Forest and the foothills of The Atlas Mountains.
The Wood Clan is simultaneously the most protective of the Cryptid Clans’ tradition of remaining hidden from the outside world and the most frequent violator of that tradition, intentionally or otherwise. Its members are responsible for the largest number of “cryptid sightings” near Emerald City, and also the most pursued by “cryptid hunters” of both the hobbyist variety as well as deadly serious ones like Majestic-20.
Members of the Wood Clan include several varieties of Beast People: canines, lupines, ursids (bear-people), and ungulats (hoofed animals such as cows, horses, and goats). Sylvan Forsaken make up a good part of their number, from wood sprites and dryads to satyrs, centaurs, and pixies. The rest are Changed Ones (sometimes literal changelings, others transformed Beast People) and Visitors, including the “Bigfoot” Cholaxans.
The chief of the Wood Clan is the bombastic Brolan the Satyr, a goat-legged, horned immortal Forsaken. Brolan has a hearty laugh and a mystical, mind-influencing skill with his pan-pipes. He claims to have known figures like the Freedom Leaguer Daedalus and the sorceress Medea from their days in ancient Greece. He declines to explain how he came to live in the shadow of Mt. Stanley, but hints there is a measure of penance in it for him. For the most part, Brolan likes humans, but also understands the importance of keeping the Clans secret from them.
