Atropal (D&D)

— D&D Monster Manual

## Summary

**Atropals** are godly flesh, torn from the gods that made them. The only known specific story as to how these creatures are made is that of Xingax, a creature that was torn from his mother's womb before birth by his father. He was thus forsaken, but returned as a soulless being, with no knowledge of emotion.

It is known that the death curse was spawned when a powerful lich discovered an atropal in the Plane of Negative Energy.

**Striking Strength: Unknown**

**Durability:** At least **Continent level** (Casually able to survive any damage applied by creatures on its level), possibly **Planet level** (Could potentially resist any effects applied by a "Wish" or "Miracle" spell)

**Stamina:** Extremely high

**Range:** Hundreds of meters at base, potentially hundreds of miles with magic, possibly trans-dimensional

**Standard Equipment:** None

**Intelligence:** Super Genius, vastly above any actual attainable intellect for humans, possesses vast knowledge of magic and psionic ability, considers creating new necromantic spells a casual feat

**Weaknesses:** Cannot be resurrected if killed, under any circumstances- rising to pseudo-godhood requires intense necromantic rituals committed by a fellow high-level magic user, regeneration is cancelled by Sentient or Good-Aligned magical weapons

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Blasphemy**: Creates a wide aura around the Atropal, which affects beings based on their overall strength compared to the Atropal- significantly weaker foes are obliterated instantly, while much stronger foes are merely dazed momentarily

* **Aura of Animation**: Creates an aura that will rise dozens of undead to serve the Atropal- if the bodies have flesh on them, they will be zombies. If they don't, they will be skeletons.

* **Create Greater Undead**: Allows the Atropal to create undead such as Wraiths, Spectres, Devourers, and Shadows

* **Greater Dispel Magic**: Atropal casually destroys magical effects on items or in the area instantly

* **Desecrate**: Creates an area of negative energy, giving intrinsic minuses versus good creatures and granting bonuses to undead creatures

* **Negative Energy Aura**: Creates an aura around the Atropal. Significantly weaker foes (~Tier 9-A or less) that fall within the area are instantly risen as Spectres to do the Atropal's bidding. Undead within the area (30ft radius) will gain a Low Regeneration effect and are resistant to Holy Manipulation.

* **Energy Drain**: 400ft range attack that drains the strength of the opponent, sapping their strength. It heals as a result of this.

* **Slay Living**: Instantly kill one creature. This requires the Atropal to touch the creature. Creatures of significant strength (of comparable tier to the Atropal) can instead take minor damage

* **Finger of Death**: Similar to Slay Living, except with extended range (a total of 225ft) and with the slight possibility that it will kill creatures of comparable strength anyways

* **Constitution Drain**: If an Atropal touches a living being, they are permanently stunted in their health. They are unable to regenerate that health due to a permanent loss of Constitution.
