HoC Bk1 Evil Creatures: Wingnuts



Name: Wingnut
Species: Plant
Class(es): M. Z (When in a flock)
Description: Walnut with sharp maple seed propellers on top of its head. They have a single red eye in front. They have a sharp “beak” that can open and close.
Attack(s): It slices prey with its propellers.
Special attack(s): It will open its beak and take a chunk out of prey’s flesh.
Defense(s): Flight.
Known facts: Carnivores. They will attack any magical heat they sense. But if a human’s in the fray, they’ll go for them too. They will take the chunks of flesh in their beak and return home to feed their sprouts.
There are right and left wingnuts. According to Copey (Taps’ guardian gate) the left are: “Sharp-like and lip-smackin’ good.”
They hunt in flocks of 100 and have been known to gather in a 1000+. They don’t possess much of a brain. Their main instinct is to search for food.
Known History: They showed up around the time of the American pioneers crossing the plains. No one’s sure who made them, but everyone’s sure it was a Spade. Possibly a Crazy 8.
Tame: No.
Weakness(es): When they’re filled with meat, they’ll return to their nest. It’s easier to attack them during this time, they no longer care about anything else. (Best to follow them to their nest and destroy them all…wear good-thick protective gear).

How to kill it: Magical objects that can smash, fry, rip them apart. Goblins are one of their banes, due to their thick hides.
