Felidar (Monster)

(Felidar Sovereign by Zoltan Boros)

(I'm posting for the time being! Expect two posts a week right now.

Magic the Gathering has a habit of creating types of beast to make their settings more fleshed out and fill out the mechanical slot of "generic large beast" in different places- felidar, krushok, cerodon, thoctar... all are creatures with a defined look and name. They're fun targets for monster creating, and I'm generally looking to make these Magical Beasts to keep it interesting. I started with Felidar because, well, I love big cats. As with all my creatures, I tried to give them a fun plot hook.)

CR6 NG Large Magical Beast

Felidar are large catlike predators typically found in mountainous regions, where they use their powerful roars and expert climbing skills to hunt down and kill prey. Felidar are more intelligent than an animal, though not by much- they have no true language, and prefer to live in simple family units or just hunt alone. Perhaps their most intelligent aspect is their knowledge of magic and magical places, as well as a capability for empathy- a felidar who sees an injured humanoid is willing to provide healing, and one whose trust has been gained will often lead humanoids to places of great magic potential- or to the location of a dangerous interloper or creature that needs to be dealt with for the good of the mountain.

Felidar are beings connected to the Plane of Positive Energy, and a vivacious life flows through them. One pint of felidar blood can be used as 100gp of materials to craft any potion of the Healing subschool. Felidar never give this blood freely, instead using their roar or Cure Moderate Wounds spell-like ability- some unscrupulous mages take this blood by force, typically injuring or killing these majestic animals.

This large cat has a splendid rack of antlers upon its head, its horns and insides glowing with a vivacious life.

The first roar startles; each enemy within the area of effect must make a Will save or trigger an attack of opportunity.

Special Abilities- Roar (Su)- A felidar’s roar is imbued with supernatural power. It can make one of these special roars three times a day as a standard action; each successive roar has a different effect depending on if it’s the first, second, or third roar of the day. Each roar is a 60ft cone with a save DC of 16. The DC is constitution-based.

The second roar harms, dealing 7d6 sonic damage to all creatures- ally or enemy- within the area of effect, Reflex save for half.

The third roar restores, healing all allies within the area of effect 7d8 damage and removing the shaken, frightened, or panicked condition.

Vigilant (Ex)- A felidar is never considered to be flat-footed.

Still loving how, in a whole-ass Multiverse, with planes dealing with ghost and the undead, and people coming back to life and life forming from thunder and fire, and time-travel and ALL fucking sorts of different kinds of Magic and technology and unnatural phenomena; phyrexia arrived all like "yeah, we have nanobots that Hack your soul, we're unbeatable, Phyresis is irreversible and unavoidable"

And was proven wrong time...

And time ...

The lone soldier’s courage failed him as the lightning-wreathed monster approached. He dropped his spear and stared up in anticipation of the crushing footfall that was sure to come.

“Is this the end…?”

“Oh, quit being so melodramatic, Orthion!”

The soldier risked a glance over his shoulder, and saw an elderly woman in a purple cloak smiling coyly at him. “Rielle!” he scowled. “I’m busy…contemplating my own mortality, here! Can’t it wait?”

“Why, the big guy? He doesn’t eat humans.”

“…He? And, he doesn’t?”

“Not unless they attack him!”

Rielle pointed past Orthion. The soldier turned back around just in time to watch the beast take a massive step overhead, ignoring them.

“How can that thing possibly be friendly?” Orthion gasped, wiping the sweat from his brow.

“Well, he does eat meat, so maybe not ‘friendly,’” Rielle shrugged. “But it just sees us humans as too much effort for too little food.”

“It can’t be friendly! Why else would General Kudro send us after those things on a regular basis!”

“Oh, because they’re poisonous. I’ve heard about poachers, buying their blood for poisons to put on their swords and such. A shame, really.”

“‘A shame’?” Orthion cried.

“Sure. I think he’d give it freely, that one at least. Just like my companion. Though, mine’s a fair bit smaller.”

Orthion stared through Rielle. “You have one of those things? As a pet?”

“Companion,” Rielle corrected, a hint of venom seeping into her tone. “And yes, but again, a fair bit smaller.”

As if on cue, a second monster stalked into view from behind Rielle. And sure enough, it was smaller, but still easily twice the bonder’s height. It faced Orthion and opened its mouth, allowing a trickle of venomous saliva to dribble out.

“Is it…panting?”

“Yes! Finally, someone understands! It just gets so excited when meeting people. And people call it cruel, pfft! But there’s some venom, no violence necessary! You can just hold your spear under its mouth!”

“Ah…pass, thanks,” Orthion muttered, his tone resigned.

[For apparently being hostile to humans, the monsters of Ikoria sure seem to like giving out deathtouch counters.]

Here's a good way to bring Garruk back into the Magic Story, whether he's still a planeswalker or not: Bring him to Ikoria for a big hunt. Make Ikoria a hunter's world where hunting parties go for big game. Touch on legitimate hunting for sustenance vs hunting for sport vs poaching for profit. Garruk is supposed to be this big in-touch-with-nature-and-beasts but he's always portrayed as some stereotypical barbarian. If he's supposed to be some warrior-druid and planeswalker, then he definitely needs some way to show that. Let him get involved with Ikoria in some way and bring on the hunt!

So Ikoria is just big monsters?

There are tons of little ones too!

Humble Naturalist - Matt Stewart

"Monster" is a pretty broad term used on the plane. They can be towering like kaiju or cute companions like Pokémon. Some mutate a little bit, some mutate a lot. Neither of these axes have any bearing on whether or not a bonder can bond with a monster.

explaining why i refer to the three colour combos as ikoria/capenna instead of tarkir/alara

as i have said once before, i refer to the three colour combinations as ikoria triomes and new capenna families, rather than the typical shard/wedge way that players usually do. i have decided to put it out there in case anyone else uses these terms.

it’s mainly because i only really got into the game around 2019-2020, and didn’t interact with the fandom at all until this year. so the first exposure i had to the three colour combos were the names given to them in ikoria: lair of behemoths and later the allied combos in the streets of new capenna. they were the only names i had really seen for them.

for the families, it’s for that reason. i saw new capenna before i knew anything about alara. i’d heard about in bits of lore i had read, but nothing on the colour combos. so i just refer to them as the first name i knew for them.

but for the enemy wedges, i have a bit more behind my reasoning. with the families, each trio was centred around one colour. for example, brokers is white-centred, with green and blue as its allies. then each of the other families follow the same pattern. even alara did this. however, tarkir broke this pattern. instead of the central colour having both its enemies as it’s companions, it focused on one and added an allied colour and an enemy colour. for example, abzan is white centred and has black and green as companions. but this breaks the pattern previously established, as the white centred enemy trio should have red and black as companions. tarkir does not do this, but ikoria picks up the pattern. and i only care about the patterns so much coz i am autistic, and if you have any autistic friends you’ll know how much we love our patterns.

so, for example, my two main commander decks are my cabaretti bright-palm deck and my indatha ixhel deck.

if you have any questions feel free to ask.
