Ovu-Trandi

Visual Description
Adult Ovu-Trandi look generally Astorianoid in their appearance, the main features which differentiate them from Astorians are its horns which protrude from its head, their pale grey skin which is partly scaled, and their clawed hands and feet.

Also a majority of Ovu-Trandi have a muscular build and long black hair.

Known Abilities
All Ovu-Trandi have immunity to fire and a large amount of weaponry. Coupled with their innate toughness they have super natural health and the ability to see in the dark.

Infant Ovu-Trandi have the ability to control their mother after a week of conception, adults however have a more reduced ability to influence the feelings of a single target.

Typical Behaviours
Adult Ovu-Trandi often live in caves near small Astorian settlements, they almost exclusively pick off and eat masculine Astorians as well as any livestock the settlement may be caring for.

An Ovu-Trandi will stalk lone Astorians and using their powers of suggestion will influence them into wanting to meet with them in their cave lair. If the target goes to the lair the Ovu-Trandi it will offer them fame, money and success if they bare its child.

If the target has the willpower to refuse, or attempt to escape the Ovu-Trandi will try eat them instead, and move onto a new target.

Reproduction / Creation
If a target agrees to bare the child of an adult Ovu-Trandi they will be impregnated, after which they will be actively compelled to leave the lair and never return.

After the first week the mother will be under the control of the infant and lethally protective of their child. During the pregnancy the mother will actively eat large quantities of meat and bone meal.

Often childbirth for an infant Ovu-Trandi is fatal to the mother due to their small sharp horns. Childbirth will trigger commonly at the end of a month and 2 weeks.

Weaknesses
Adult Ovu-Trandi have a particular weakness to rope soaked in ice cold blessed water, and weapons runed with essence draining effects.

However dealing with impregnated Astorians requires the forced inhalation of heavy wood smoke to expel the infant before the first month is up, as the horns have yet to develop. If however if it is past the first month, surgery is required to safely remove the infant.
