Beran

Name: Czech for Ram

Spirit Of The : Neglected, Forgotten, Maltreated, Tormented 

Design Notes: Mixture between an Irish Wolfhound and a variety of Sheep. Fur tends to be dirty and heavily sun-bleached wool/fur/wire hair. The coat is also incredibly matted and unkept. Also! They can slightly appear different depending how long they've been left undisturbed. More bones exposed or wool/leather falling off in different places or missing bones completely. There is no flesh left on the body. The bones are sun-bleached and cracked. The coat/fur/wool can be ripped or removed. It will replace parts of itself with nearby bones or materials. 

Rough Background: Normally found in older pastures where sheep are or have been kept. Normally appears as if a sheep has long since died and left for scavengers. Bones can be scattered in the area and chewed on. Wool/fur is normally ripped or left behind. This entity doesn't harm other animals unless they are evil spirited. Normally provides distraction and indirect protection for flocks from would be predators. However, it isn't necessarily a good spirit. It will attack and consume humans who neglect or abuse their animals. It hates humans who are evil spirited. This does not mean it will allow good spirited humans to disturb it but it will play "dead" depending on the situation. It travels at night only and has never been spotted moving. It has a sixth sense for this and supernatural ability to disturb cameras and recording software of it has too. If you do ever see it move it will be the last thing that person sees. It will wait for points of opportunity and use it's form as camouflage. It generally will enjoy staying in a kind hearted person's pasture for long periods of time before it moves on. It likes to stay near active areas to watch the flock. It will have prolonged dormant stages until it catches whiff of someone who's malevolent. 

Locals have become aware to a degree or have formed folklore. Some welcome the creature onto their pasture leaving it alone. Some take it as an omen because it's most likely killed someone they knew or past generations or passed down stories. Some respectfully move it to the outskirts of their property in an attempt to coax it to a different field. However only a few have tired this. It seems indifferent to most humans unless it's harmed. 

Some might be curious what happens when you collect it's bones? It's mainly the skull that's most important to the creature's survival. It will collect a skeleton from just about any creature. Anyways, the person and family will start to have horrible luck fall upon the family. Starting off small it will produce a negative aura that lures in bad energy. It becomes more and more noticable. It'll start off with missing socks and progress to tripping or breaking things. However it's not necessary itself that will due the family to demise. It lures in bigger and badder entities the longer it stays captive. So it's a bit indirect in this sense. It tries very hard to not reveal itself in captive situations. Returning it back to the area it was taken will immediately release the negative aura and back luck. However it doesn't take responsibility for whatever it has attracted. Though it will chase off entities it deems detrimental to a flocks care and survival. It just depends how it was treated and how loved you are to the animals you take care of. 

Though some cryptid hunters have used this entities skull to lure in very dangerous monsters. It does not appreciate this and will be very vengeful. So users beware.
