Bombshell

A category of Monsters belonging to the Construct family, they may be intentionally created or spontaneously arise from the proper environmental conditions; usually either alchemic depots or waste dumps, the labs of Evocation-focused mages, volcanic and fiery regions, swamps, and other areas with flammable or combustible gasses. An Undead form sometimes forms from the Animus generated when multiple people or Monsters are killed by an explosion of some sort. This is especially true of artificial blasts.
These Monsters are notable for their alluring appearance and explosive nature, as they are capable of self-detonating in a manner similar to an Alchemist's Bomb ability. This usually destroys their corporeal form, but the creatures are capable of rapidly reconstituting from this particular ability. Many are capable of triggering more controlled, directed, and less self-destructive blasts as well, but all possess this pyrrhic form of attack.
They are sometimes also known as Powderkegs or Powderhorns, with the latter term especially applying to a variant of the species that develops horns or antlers. There are a large variety of mutations found in this lineage, with many having specific energy types or status effects rather than the common concussive blast.
