Ideas, continued
Some quick brainstorming...
- A hive-mind entity that's a major power-player, at least behind the scenes. Much like the Us in Planescape... except that it will probably have internal "factions" of its own, so that a given body might suddenly change its manner and personality as a different facet of the group-mind took it over. Basically, it's mind would be so diffuse that it has fragmented. This might also be triggered by parts of the group mind being separated long enough to form their own independent gestalt, then rejoin the whole.
- A "mastiff" equivalent... vicious, lizard-like guard "dogs" that are in common use throughout the city. Not quite hellhounds, but nasty anyway. Wild packs are sometimes found in some of the lawless areas.
- Dragon-like lizard-people. Maybe a form of demon/devil. The stereotypical quiet, grim, vicious folks. Big and tough though, and definitely not dumb. They might be able to breathe fire.
- A brutal slave-trade with non-human entities, much like the Moonbeast one. The government frowns on it but can't do much about it... so lots of people get sold to the whoevers where they get worked to death, eaten, or eventually sacrificed to their dark god. The creatures might even be Moonbeast rip-offs... Big fat blobs with tentacled faces and bad attitudes. Maybe ugly frog-people... a bit like Slaad.
