Raggamoffyn

Raggamoffyn
Type	Race

These mysterious creatures are sentient scraps of cloth, leather, and metal of unknown origin. Some say that they are formed from the remnants of magical cloaks, boots, and weapons, when these are worn out and discarded. Others claim that vile sorcery and twisted magic is creating these animated creatures.

Raggamoffyns prefer to fight by possessing a host. They do this by physically wrapping themselves around their target like cloth around a mummy.

Physical Description: Most Raggamoffyns are composed mostly of strips and tears of leather and cloth magic items often with some nearly whole pieces of clothing such as a boot, belt, or hat as well. Rarely they are made almost entirely out of discarded magical ink. Either way when they are not wrapping themselves around a host creature, they maintain their forms by wrapping around the same magical energies that gave them life. These energies always take humanoid form, perhaps a hold over from the humanoid makers and users of the discarded magic items that make up their bodies.

Society: Raggamoffyns are not very plentiful and most are not aware that there are others of their kind assuming they are the only one. As such they have not come together to form any sort of society. Although some Raggamoffyns are convinced they are not the only ones who exist and actively seek out others like them. In urban areas they thrive in rubbish heaps, alleys, and graveyards where they can often find bits of magic items to add to maintain themselves.

Relations: Most who come across a Raggamoffyn regard it as a monster and attack it before the Raggamoffyn can explain itself. Due to this most Raggamoffyns are trepidatious of others.

Alignment and Religion: The alignment of Raggamoffyns varies greatly from one to another. Some theorize that the previous users or even creators of their component parts are what help set the creature's disposition and sense of right and wrong. Some Raggamoffyns have found religion to help them come to terms with their seemingly purposeless existence. Others remain strictly agnostic choosing to forge their own purpose instead of trying to determine why they were created.

Adventures: Raggamoffyns tend to stay near their place of 'birth' for a short time before eventually deciding to make their own way in the world. They take to the adventuring life very well, seeking new host creatures to maintain themselves.

Enwrap: Raggamoffyns cam wrap themselves around people and use their deep connection magic to exert control over them.

Every 24 hours the host may attempt the save again. If the creature saves the Raggamoffyn may not attempt to Enwrap that creature again for another 24 hours.
