"Oh, look over there at that floating light. Nothing strange about that at all, let's go check it out!" says Jess as she runs off into the darkness towards the dot of light. Further and further into the night, into the wilderness, she followed it and just when she had almost caught up with the strange anomaly it vanished.
"What? Where did it go?" She looks around and only sees darkness staring back at her. She was lost now, with no idea of how to get back home. Blindly she stumbles around in the dark to no end.
Poor Jess, she became a victim of the Jacakalantan.

Design
A body pulled together by smoldering wax, dogskin, and the soul of a wicked will o' wisp.
It's body melts and disfigures- constantly moving and warping into different forms, lending no solid face for behind the folklore besides the resemblance of a awkward feral. Unblinking and stalkish; difficult to read even to the most skilled dragon trainers. Your best bet is to keep moving forward, careful not to acknowledge it’s presence. Though by the time you notice him your safety is far from secured. As it was is meant to be.
Design Notes
- Always has the look of a blank stare.
- Fur is frilled at the back of his head.
- Curled tail especially at the tip.
- Lacks paw pads and distinct claws.
- Tail can catch aflame.
- Voiceless; deafly mute, all there’s to hear is the breaking of wax.
History
[reworking]
"A man who had tricked the devil into making a deal not to take his soul to hell and trapped the devil twice to extend his life. When Jack died he couldn't go to heaven because of his actions and the Devil had to keep his promise not to take his soul to hell, so instead he gave Jack a burning coal in a turnip and left him to wander the darkness for all eternity. Irish people had come to know him as Jack of the Lantern then as Jack O' Lantern."
Said to be a mysterious light that appears, attracting folks, misleading the wary into desolate, harmful areas far away from their intended destinations, and vanishes. This feral shaped will-'o-the-wisp escorts the lost, both physically and mentally to locations where their assigned deaths may be revised, and be dealt with mercifully by one of the Coin'Side bouncers.
Old Folk Talk
If you are to walk the waxlands at night, carry a lantern with you whilst dropping raw rice grains before your path. The jacakalantan sees you but is too busy ridding his land of rice.
Light candles outside a wake to ward off the jacakalantan from taking your recently deceased. He will respect your space and let you mourn.
Light beer bottle flambeaux, leave it outside your the wake to invite the jacakalantan, granting it permission to guide your recently deceased. The family is ready to let go and celebrate.
Dove
Shares a symbiotic peace treaty with this new world body loup-garou. Break the fish to feed 500’s worth, and the blood of the dove will satiates the souls..
..Hummingbird?
The dove was reborn a different dragon...? Dog the dragon host. As long as he bottles the spirits, the fish will be reaped and our hunger stay starved.
pitch lake Jumbie
You creature. Another feral in the worldwind holding this island in it's back. Like me. The folk will fall if we crumble into our own lakes.
