Impurr

Welcome to Eldergrove, Researcher. You were sent by the Academy to research and document the magical creatures in and around Eldergrove: #094 IMPURR Type: Water / Fae Habitat: Swamp Regions (Exclusively) Size: 0.8–1.1 feet (Height) Rarity: Rare APPEARANCE: A small, lithe kitten-like creature with fur the color of the deepest swamp water at midnight, possessing a unique waterproof sheen. It features small, curved horns that resemble polished blue river glass and leathery, fin-like wings that shimmer with an oily, iridescent coating. Its large, crystalline cyan eyes can see clearly through the murkiest water and fog. BEHAVIOR: Impurrs are solitary, elusive, and highly observant. They move with a liquid grace, often swimming just beneath the surface with only their horns and eyes visible. They are known for "Bubble-Gazing," sitting motionless on lily pads for hours to watch reflections in the water. ABILITY: Mist-Shroud. When threatened or wishing to disappear, an Impurr can instantly evaporate the moisture around its body, creating a thick, localized bank of blue fog to facilitate a silent escape. HABITAT & DIET: They reside exclusively in the humid, bioluminescent swamp regions of the Eldergrove. Their diet consists of "Glow-Algae," the nectar of moon-blooming water lilies, and the magical essence of the swamp itself. LORE: Swamp-folk believe the Impurr is the "Spirit of the Still Water." It is said that if an Impurr chooses to show itself to you, your intentions are as clear as a fresh spring. If the swamp water becomes polluted, Impurrs will migrate, leaving the area to stagnate. TEMPERAMENT: Serene, cautious, and mysteriously tranquil. They are rarely aggressive but will vanish instantly if approached too quickly. ACTIVITY: Crepuscular (Most active during the misty hours of dawn and dusk).
