Argoi
This article is part of Runarcana + and isn’t canon to Runarcana RPG
Brutal creatures used as a last resort or to cut a path through enemies. Not very intelligent, but very useful in combat. Argoi can in some cases serve as Commanders on a battlefield, through gestures and roars. When alongside a more intelligent Umbrinata, they seem only to know how to obey direct orders.
Even so, their brutal, truculent way of acting frequently serves to keep every creature beneath them in line, killing them if they don’t obey.
Rewards
Each Argoi has a limited number of resources it can grant when defeated. These resources disappear 1 minute after the creature’s death if not collected.
Shadow Weave. Each Argoi can grant 100 grams multiplied by 1d6 of Shadow Weave. A DC 19 Prestidigitation check is required to remove it without damaging it.
