So I think that's Elemental and Fae. What else should we be aware of?

1748631

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria.

There lived a pony called Random.

One day he found out about dangerous magical creatures.

Remembering his childhood of reading Daring Doo™ books he grabbed his Daring Hat™ and his Daring Whip™ and set off on an adventure.

After braving the dangers of the harsh wilderness he came across a Djinn

It killed him.

The end.

1748656
Ah, well. We're nearly done anyway. Finals are next week.

1748652
That sounds like my best friend adventuring partner.

1748666

1748663
Well, is there anything on the list you'd like to discuss? Or, if you have something that you aren't sure of, something that may be a myth like humans, that we could speak about?

1748678

Says the one who in his previous thread called us "bald diamond dogs".

1748678
I believe in sea ponies and Grims. The first thing I want to fight is a Djinn or a greater Chimera. I'm not insane enough to believe in humans, thank you very much.

1748678

Just one thing: Cambiae

What are they?

1748689
Ah! Cambiae!

Cambiae are the scions of a demon and a pony.

1748688

Pfft.

You have no imagination.

1748694
No. I'm sane.

1748693

Wait.

What?

Ponies have made sexy time with demons?

1748698

*Cough* Bullshit *Cough*

1748701
More the other way around. Most Cambiae are the product of rape.

1748693
Ok, so how would that work? Some sort of demonic pact or trickery?

1748713
See above.

1748701
You better believe it. Those sexy, sexy demons.

1748710

"Most" is the part that worries me.

Sooooo what level of sentience, sanity and magic do Cambiae operate on?

1748693
What's an Archon?

1748718

It worries me what you lot get up to in Hollow Shades.

1748728
When the woods are a rockin, run away. Run as fast as you can.

1748722
Scion? Offspring, brood, whelp, child.

1748720
Well, as I'm sure you've guessed, most Cambiae are predisposed to be violent, destructive, and borderline sociopathic without proper care and upbringing. That said, Cambiae can live perfectly normal lives in functional society if they keep their emotions under control. To this end, there are social programs in place to assist those who have been sexually assaulted by demons and their offspring, who can take advantage of numerous programs to help curb their instincts.

Spellcasters with demon blood often find themselves with a propensity for destructive magic, and are almost always either Mages in a combat role or some kind of Mentalist. However, there are a few Cambiae who have joined up with Paladins, and even a few who became Clerics, in time.

1748741
I thought demonblood was inherently corruptive.

1748741

So basically they're just normal children but with the tendency to blow things up?

1748752
Or a predisposition for insanity and bloodlust... heh...

1748759

Like I said, normal children.

1748752
Not really. For one thing, they eat meat. For another, they are usually...different in form. Scales, fangs, snake eyes, bat wings, and so on. And they can heal remarkably quickly.

1748749
Pure blood, yes. Diluted with the blood of a mortal, not so much.

1748741
Any distinguishing features to be able to tell Cambiae apart from others around them?

1748766
See above.

1748764

So they're just like pony/griffin children?

1748764
They can hide most of that with like basic illusion or makeup/clothing, right?

1748771
Do Gryphons have scales and poisonous fangs?

1748774

Genetics are a strange and mysterious thing.

1748774
A gryphon turned me into a newt once.

I got better.

1748773
Sure. One of the interesting mutations we've seen is the replacement of the standard spiral horn with something smooth, like a dragon's horn.

1748780
And that had no effect on the individual's ability for casting?

1748780
That's something you wouldn't even have to hide. Just act inconspicuous and no one will notice.

1748785
No negative effect. It actually improved it in some cases.

1748790
Sure. Just live at the top of a very large tower with lots and lots of stairs.

1748793

When it involved the above mentioned "blowing stuff up"?

1748793
What do you mean by improved? Increased ability/power? Easier access to other types of magic?

1748796
Sssssstaaaaaairssssssss...

1748797
Yep.

1748802
Generally, those with this particular mutation were more proficient in illusions and offensive spells.

1748809

Don't demons have any imaginations?

Why can't they give their children way more interesting genetic abilities than merely "blowing stuff up" and strange outward appearances.

1748817
It's not really their choice. Aside from the choice of not raping things, but there you are.

1748824

Are you serious?

A ridiculously powerful magical being can't even manipulate it's own sperm?

1748824
Even that last thing isn't really much of a choice. I mean come on.

1748829
Well, a living goddess was unable to manipulate her eggs, so...

1748829
Probably needs a ridiculously powerful magical being with a concentration in biological studies to pull that off.
