I got this idea last night and decided to run with it. I will most likely add it to the Toldara monsters, but I certainly would enjoy some feedback on it. This is definitely a draft version but if you have ideas on how to improve it, please let me know. It shouldn't take anyone reading this very long to figure out what these guys are based on.
PALLID ONES
PALLID ONES are a generally humanoid race but are typically shorter than humans with a frail, pasty appearance lacking hair from their entire body and a somewhat large head with large, dark eyes. They are typically dressed in a simple tunic that covers from their shoulders to mid-thigh, a belt, and a pair of boots. They generally carry very few items, treasure or mundane, with them.
Rumors and legends speak of the Pallid Ones showing up when people are asleep or otherwise distracted by an attention consuming task like setting up a camp. They show up and tend to watch the people they find but have been known to make contact or even been discovered up close to a sleeping person while they are examining them. They typically have 1-3 Androids with them to perform any heavy physical labor due to their frailty. Pallid Ones are not suited for intense combat, so they usually have some sort of wand hanging from belt that cause sleep and/or paralysis in their victims. They usually continue examining this person and it has been rumored they have even taken some of these subjects with them for unknown purposes.
As of yet, no stationary lair or homeland bas been found for the Pallid Ones. Some citizens have claimed to observe the Pallid Ones exiting or entering a saucer shaped object near where they have been encountered. This saucer shaped object is a form of flying transport leading to the belief that the Pallid Ones inhabit an undiscovered land across the seas somewhere or may come from the skies or another world entirely. The purpose of their visits and intentions remains a mystery.
