Nothics resemble hunched, misshapen humanoids with an awkward gait. Their most distinctive feature is a the large, single eye that dominates their face. When driven to violence, it uses its horrific gaze to rot the flesh from its enemies’ bones. Nothics are utterly insane, capering, gibbering and taunting the adventuring party. Nothics are aberrant creatures variously said to have drifted into this plane from a hell dimension, or to have been created from wizards who, in their research of arcane secrets, stumbled across a curse left by a demon lord. If the latter is true, then nothics retained no awareness of their former selves but are nonetheless driven by half-remembered memories and desires they no longer understand. Nothics are also known to be drawn to places of magical learning, infiltrating and lurking inside such places. Their insanity gives them a strange understanding of forbidden lore and secrets, and they covet magic items. It was said they are drawn to such places out of a half-understood obsession with reversing their condition. Instinct: Taunt
