Coeurl

**Secondary Powers** | TelekinesisTelepathyWindwalking

**Coeurl** are legendary creatures that are known to appear in various areas throughout Earth Land every century or so; whilst not nearly as powerful as dragons their magical abilities are incredible even so, vastly surpassing the power that the average magi might hope to achieve during their lifetime, consequently they are considered extremely dangerous and usually avoided.

Mages who brave the dangers they pose and manage to kill one however are rewarded for their efforts, for every single portion of a Coeurl is steeped in elder magics, making it so that their bodies are a veritable treasure trove of arcane reagents and materials.

Because of this Coeurl rarely survive long after manifesting, but those that for whatever reason manage to survive until the turn of the next century have their abilities enhanced and undergo a magical transformation into a higher-ordered being called a **Coeurlregina**.

## Description

A Coeurl is a massive quadraped that is larger than the largest species of elephant, standing approximately 15 feet at the shoulder and blessed with an incredibly muscular and powerful body; although it most resembles a gargantuan leopard its physical traits are easily distinguished from such mundane creatures by its whiskers, which are thick appendages of dense cartilage supported by an incredibly hard exoskeleton. Its back similarly muscular and is supported by an external spinal ridge of exceptional durability.

Typical Coeurls have coats of gold, orange, red or yellow, whereas the much rarer Coeurlregina have coats of silver or black and possess horns much like dragons do.

## Magic and Abilities

**Immense Magical Power**: As beings of primordial and elder magic, Coeurl all naturally possess incredible reservoirs of magical power that greatly surpasses the full potential of most mortal mages. Sages who have studied these legendary creatures have come to discover that the precise measurements of magical energy available to specific individuals can fluctuate quite dramatically even if they have yet to ascend into Coeurlregina, and the most learned of those very scholars have postulated that their actual power is dependent on that of the individuals that their Arcanametry presently reflect.

**Arcanametry**: Magic is a force that defies all reason, defies all attempts to categorize and comprehend it, all that might be known is how little one truly understands. It is to some a force that might as well be alive, and the Coeurl support this mystery for they are best described as memories of magic incarnate. Their primary powers is not rooted in their own physiology the way dragon are but they instead reflect the spells and knowledge of prominent mages in the previous century whose dealings with magic however mundane or small formed memories, memories that are plucked from the ether and wielded to cast spells the creature does not truly understand.

**Telekinesis**: It is said that a Coeurl's sense of touch is so powerful that it can supernaturally touch the world around it without physical contact, manipulating objects, structures and people without physical interaction merely by focusing upon the intent to do so. It uses this power to hunt its chosen prey, dragging the victim kicking and screaming towards its waiting jaws. It also uses these powers to defend itself and to build a lair for itself.

**Telepathy**: Like its sense of touch, a Coeurl's eyes are likewise exceptional, being so sharp and so precise that it can look past the mortal shell of its prey or rivals and straight into their mind allowing it to read their thoughts and feelings merely by looking in their general direction. Fortunately, despite the incredible potential of such a power the intelligence of a Coeurl is far too primitive to make the most use of such powers, being limited to using it to enhance its hunting prowess and ability to react to perceived threats.
