Oily Muzzled Blind Specter
Octaria Pulnassea's note #1
Pieces brought from the north, still fresh, the third and fourth of a collection that seems to be part of the same creature, the Oily Muzzled Blind Specter
Flesh regrows over the bone.
The bone repairs itself, the cracks disappear by melting away with time.
The creature must regenerate itself at a fast rate.
Muscle are hard, and on close inspection their fibers are something closer to thin wires of copper.
At normal bonfire temperatures muscle and bone become liquid, but when cold they recover their form.
A strange organ was recovered from the creature, the size of a human head, run by veins, with the appearance of a strange heart.
When liquid passes through it, it freezes it, and the organ becomes extremely hot.
Rumors, tales and testimonies
Folk tales speak of a creature with thick, oily fur, no visible eyes, a long bearded muzzle held by a telescopic neck, and spiked hooves that can impale a human torso, these tales also say that it lives in grasslands within small burrows, and that it steals vegetables from crops through holes it digs from underground.
Witnesses (few still alive) claim that it moves quickly and that, although larger than a horse, it can pass through thin cracks in walls.
Alchemical uses:
The bones when pulverize, and liquefied at bonfire temperature, can be mixed with mercury.
Out of the fire the new material works like a clay
Hard as iron when wet, for a few minutes.
Returns to a liquid at bonfire temperature.
The muscle can be separated into its thin metallic fibers.
When introduced into the flesh toward a broken bone and heated with a flame, they melt around the broken bone, repairing it.
If the previously broken limb is burned, the bone liquefies and spills out of the pores.
The heart-like organ can be smashed into a paste. A lemon-size portion of it can freeze a human-sized bowl of water.
If fermented and then mixed in a kiln with cod liver oil it creates an elixir which, when drunk cold, it warms the body and, when drunk hot, cools it down.
Taking a cold drink after a hot one, or vice versa, can dissolve the inner organs.
