In the Dreamscape -- the place where realities overlap that are otherwise kept separate by the Veil -- anything can and does exist. Some creatures are reported more regularly than others, and some might even be said to be recurring. Some of these entities have been spotted bleeding into Gray Harbor proper on occasion as well.
To appear in this index, creatures must be recurring; they have appeared enough times, or made enough noise when they did, to have become part of Gray Harbor's 'lore' -- the knowledge passed around between Glimmering people and world walkers. These creatures are not all powerful or even dangerous; they are simply the ones with which enconters are reported on a semi-regular basis.
Townie characters who have spent a substantial part of their lives immersed in Gray Harbor's overlapping realities, and have at least one dot of Veil Lore, have probably heard at least bits and bobs about creatures such as the ones described below. How much is known exactly is at Story Teller discretion in a scene; reality is fluid, and what was true in one story may be different in another.
The information here is given OOC. Exercise common sense when it comes to what a character will know IC. You can use these entities in scenes. For more information on them, do a scene search to find previous sightings.
Basilisks are feathered, scaled serpent-avian hybrids whose skin is widely sought for decorative purposes.
Felines with vines growing out of their backs and long, crocodile-like skull faces. Blink cats are equal in size to an adult African lion and can teleport across modest distances (up to a hundred feet has been observed).
Feathered, jewelled avians roughly resembling a cross between owls and roosters. Savagely loyal.
Unicorns who shape shift as required. Rumoured to be able to traverse the Dreamscape at will.
Fox-like, scaled animals known primarily for their voracious appetite for eggs.
Strange hybrids of jumping spiders and hummingbirds, not much larger than the native hummingbirds and occupying a similar biological niche.
Feathered velociraptor-like creatures whose feathers are made from a mirror-like material, rendering them almost perfect camouflage in any environment. Adults are of similar size as Utah Raptors.
White macaques who appear, often in Asian-inspired Dreams, to sit on the proverbial fence, often with bags of popcorn, to watch the show. They are obviously manifestations of some kind of Veil 'audience' but their true nature remains unknown. They seem to take pleasure in humiliating and embarrassing the dreamers but are largely harmless.
Selkies are an ocean-going race of women who live in vast cities under the sea. Each has a cloak specific to them, and they are always female. They refer to the Dreamscape as the 'water between the worlds'. They regard any woman as a fellow selkie, and always have a cloak for her, which matches her hair.
Carnivorous sirens who swim through worlds, appearing to non-Glimmering people like seals or sharks. Shark lower bodies, torso like flat-chested human females with black skin, and bald heads with large, black shark's eyes. They use song to entice non-Glimmering men to walk into the sea to be fed on; women are viewed as breeders and only hunted in times of severe starvation; Glimmering people are not hunted at all.
Enormous, pale white to blue lynx-like felines. Their voices can terrify, and they can stalk any prey anywhere through snow. Adults are roughly the size of a minivan. Yule Cats have only been reported in December and January.
