Slayercake, one of the new monsters from the Mortasheen book.

Jokers are a really fun class, and this other big queen was a must for me to model.

Vee @eeveeprincessxd may be known to some of you as a major contributor to Mortasheen by @bogleech, which has quickly become my favourite TTRPG. More importantly, they’re a part of a vibrant community that I love, and I have faith that this community will return the favour.

Vee and their family are in serious trouble. Their father works, but is on medical leave, so the family is without a major source of income. The numerous crises they’ve faced have kept them from making rent, so the family faces eviction.

As a queer disabled person who has faced homelessness myself, I can tell you Vee is experiencing something horrible that I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. Every single dollar will bring hope to them and their family.

From the link: “This year has been rough on my family, with medical problems, car breakdowns, and more making it hard to keep up with rent. Now, we're about to be evicted for non-payment, and lack the means to get the money ourselves. We've gone to all sort of social services for aid, but we either don't qualify, don't hear back, or get told that they're out of budget for the year. Please help keep us off the streets! We're running out of time and options.”

We’ve raised $1126 already. Let’s keep it going!

@bogleech its here! its beautiful!

Containing Demishade

Sheltage

Well, who else to start this psiclopedia than one of my own? After all, who couldn't appreciate the visual of a Sheltage chain, helping to observe the local populace? I mean, most people aren't like that Merrow who threw rocks at me the other day. I mean, who is to talk when I've seen them psilogging onto Bulbflash. You know that site is just empty posturing and politic-[RECORDING PAUSED]

Description:

This Demishade looks like a small bird cage whose “chain” is actually a tail ending in a stinger. They fly around using a round, ragged membrane that resembles fabric covering it at rest. 

Biology:

Only barely capable of movement when grounded, the Sheltage relies on flying with the membrane on its upper body, pulsing not unlike a jellyfish as it floats through the air. Its “cage” is made of a bonelike material, capable of surrounding and enclosing creatures smaller than it and harassing anything larger. If anything proves too resistant, the claw ending its tough and prehensile tail can inject a powerful sedative.

Behavior:

The Sheltage's main purpose seems to be the collection, analysis, and movement of retrofauna populations. They are often created in groups, working in tandem to ferry everything from roofrats to criwis to wherever the city needs them most. It isn't uncommon to see them before or after the scenes of a Wyworg's rampage, moving a portion of survivors to a place where they are less likely to cause damage. 

Due to their lack of combat prowess, Sheltages tend to be non-confrontational and polite, especially to anything larger than themselves. When among their own kind (or anything else they trust enough), however, they'll often be a lot more honest in their opinions. Due to this, the visual of multiple Sheltages hanging from their tails has sometimes been used as a symbol of gossipy and two-faced behavior.
