Hope

An alien invader of the Dragon City, this tentacled beast prowls the streets looking for prey and treasure. She can walk on her tentacles much as an experienced performer can walk on stilts.
A Shadow Servant is a Hero possessed by an evil spirit, driven by the sheer force of the spirit’s will to perform dark acts. Transformed physically and magically by the inhabiting spirit, the Hero becomes little more than a thrall in the service of its new master, slaughtering anyone who gets in its way. While the physical manifestation of rope­like tentacles marks the final stage of possession, for some Heroes, the transformation takes weeks or months to achieve, during which time their personality becomes altered and corrupted by the power of the spirit within.
