Entry 2: Beast Nymphs

She must have looked all around the recently-cured Mollie's teeth back and forth almost twenty times. Before, finally, she allowed Mollie's mouth to rest.

"O-o-okayyyyy..." She sighed, but still said that in her usual rather jittery tone. She was the only Beast Nymph Vince, Sonata, and Mollie came across that had that way of speaking, but she was also the only one who showed any interest in joining the Naked Empire. So, you know, just in general don't be an asshole to people with speech quirks. "You can close your mouth."

The Nymph with the nearly orange-tinted tan skin and messy pink hair that still had just a few bits of blood in it lowered her head, turning away in defeat. "Y-yes. You are in fact completely c-c-currrrred..." She said. "I don't see a single trait of fox left on you."

"Hey, I'm sorry you're disappointed, but this is nothing but a plus for Mollie." Sonata told her. "There's a full moon coming in a few days, and she can finally see it without foxing out."

Mollie gasped. "Is that what happens to me?!"

Vince gave her a dumbfounded stare.

"You didn't know?! I thought you figured it out!"

"...No! Nobody ever just told me, and I obviously have no memory of being 'foxed out,' if it means what I think it means! Has anyone painted what I looked like?"

"I think so! I think I saw you on some wanted posters!" Sonata said. "Trust me, I know what it's like being on one of those."

"Well! ...I didn't know my curse was that bad!"

The Beast Nymph sighed again. "I wish I got to see it before the silver bath cured her... sorry, if we had known, we would have gladly let you join us..."

Mollie perked up. "I can still join you, right?"

"...Yes."

"GREAT! Hey, you just examined my ears and teeth, you didn't see if anything else was still fox-like!"

The Beast Nymph in turn perked up so much her skin instinctively turned to its true, pink look. "YES!"

And then Mollie started stripping immediately. Vince's eyes popped but that was it, he was used to it at that point. However, once she threw her green top and jeans - and she had nothing on under either - Sonata stepped in to move the latest companion out of the path of the clothes.

"WOAH!" She shouted. "Rule Number One! Don't just throw your clothes at a Nymph without their permission!"

Beast Nymphs.

In the Beast Pastures, animals roam with plenty of freedom, dense without being overpopulated. These Nymphs act as the animals' tamers to the unsuspecting, before turning out to be the most bloodythirsty and wild creature in that land of them all.

Preferred Environment: Beast Pastures.

Environment Threat Level: Moderate.

Environment Stats: Warm. Moist. Moderate-Fantastic. Uncommon. A natural breeding ground for animals.

Other Names: Animal Nymphs, Creature Nymphs, Meat Nymphs, Flesheaters, Skinners. (Sonata's Note: NOT "Furries." That is a HUGE can of worms you do NOT want to open up. Half of them take that with pride. The other half, hoo boy, that's like a double-slur to them.)

Affinity: Earth.

Color: Bright Pink.

Traditional Costume Weapon: Bands of meat (some "cooked," some even resembling bacon strips) around their arms, legs, and parts of their torso. They can grow to become clawed meaty hands, or for advanced spellcasters, giant tentacles.

Vince's Comment: Mollie's favorite Nymph type for obvious reasons. Seeing her spar around with a few of them, all in the nude... I kinda wanted to join them! Being "feral" is fun! You don't need to either have been cursed by a werefox or part of a speces "tied with nature" to see that! Heck, being around two naked people all the time, why not? I'M GONNA GO NAKED RIGHT NOW! WHOOO, FREEDOM!

Sonata's Comment: These people are on the carnivorous side. Me too. They say that I "fit in" with their culture more than the other Oreads they've met. I still don't know if I should take that as a compliment or an insult. I'm taking that as a compliment, they're neat. By the way, "anime catgirls" and stuff are apparently popular and... well, these Nymphs/Satyrs are the closest you'll see to one of them in real life. That doesn't transform under a Full Moon, anyway.

Tania's Comment: Beast Nymph.
Nymphae Caro.
One thing all Nature Spirits have in common is their ability to blur the line between human and something else. This variant blurs the line between person and land animal. They combine many of the top traits of the respective creature that excells in them: the speed of a cheetah, the power of a bull. And, this should be a given, the mind of a Dwarf, Goblin, Human, Troll, Nymph, Lamia, Lihzahrd, Skeleton, Demon, Harpy, Merperson if they exist, or... even Elf. They are among the fastests of the Nymph types on average, and special note is on their limbs. Their legs are capable of many feats even other Nymphs do not possess.
...
...Shut up, Sonata. I can hear you snickering.

Closing AN:

I hate having to constantly look up how to spell "Lihzahrd."
