Black sludge coils with eight tar-slick limbs, each limb hissing where fire drips from its joints. Its bulk quivers, leaking glowing embers, and every movement leaves a trail of burning oil behind.
The Dripping Blight is an aberrant ooze that resembles an octopus formed of black tar, its body constantly leaking streams of sizzling, semi-liquid fire. Found near volcanic vents, ruined alchemical labs, or cursed coasts, this creature is drawn to heat, ash, and residual magic. Its oily limbs can squeeze through tight cracks and climb sheer surfaces, leaving behind scorched trails and toxic fumes. Each movement weakens its surroundings, corroding stone and wood alike. While highly flammable, it detonates violently when struck with fire, making it dangerous to dispatch without caution. Scholars debate whether it’s a failed elemental experiment or a natural evolution of industrial corruption. Despite its form, the Blight displays surprising cunning—ambushing prey by disguising itself among pools of oil or extinguished braziers. The residue it leaves behind remains hot for hours and can be harvested as a volatile alchemical reagent known as Emberslick.
