Call to Brew! [Crossroads]

[Perturbulent]

Alebrijes are dreamscape spirits. They are wildly diverse and consistently garish. They resemble animals roughly, but with exaggerated features and nonsensical additions. Perhaps one Alebrije is a seal with wings, while another is a dragon with absurdly floppy ears.

Alebrije wander the Spirit World freely. Additionally, it is not uncommon for a caster or craftsman to become obsessed with them, finding ways to release them in this world.

Alebrije is not a specific creature, but rather a template that can be placed upon any animal or magical beast.

CR: Base creature+1+trait score
Alignment: Usually Chaotic
Type: changes to Magical beast if it wasn’t before.
Immunities: The base creature is immune to mind-affecting effects.
Special Attacks:
Alebrije Chant: If a caster targets an Alebrije with a mind-affecting effect, the caster must make a concentration check any time they would cast a spell for the next 1d4 rounds as they repeatedly chant “Alebrijes” in the caster’s mind (DC is equal to 10+hd of base creature+charisma modifier)
Garish: Anyone looking upon an Alebrije is dazzled until having spent a full round looking away.

Each Alebrije has at least 3 trait points from the following list. For every 3 additional trait points an Alebrije has, its trait score goes up by 1.
