Snäle

Origin
The Great Old Ones are a group of unique, malignant beings of great power.

They reside in many planes of existence, and once presided over the whole as gods and rulers.

Many of them do so acting upon wills and desires the mere mortals could not comprehend nor project.

However, as a part of the whole they also succumbed to their own petty natures. Some of them waging ethereal

conflicts that shook the strings of reality so vastly that entire universes were shattered back into nothingness.

Others claiming entire realities as their own and modeling them to their own content, or observing and

keeping them as plaything; taking part in them,or manifesting their egos through instances of reality itself.

Snäle
As for Snäle, for it it is nothing else but an anomalous cryptid creature brought into existence because of the desires of an Old one.

It could be many things, serve only so many more purposes and even be a part of a greater plan with unforeseeable consequences...

Unfortunately, it just seems to be a dumb humanoid snail with a crippling desire to consume salt.

Whilst its own nature is unknown to it, Snäle has awoken from slumber into a world it does not understand.

For all it knows Snäle must seek salt and driven by its own curiosity about this world, with nothing but this

conviction in mind; Snäle has begun roaming the world of Rathnir.

Sightings
Few have actually encountered it but those that have don' t seem to consider it a threat. Snäle seems to have some sense of reason and

despite its strange apparence and manners; he has not hurt anyone. As an interesting fact, Snäle's recent presence seems to have something

to do with recently brewed legends about a "creature from the woods" which roams arround returning recently lost goods and travelers who strayed

too far to their paths  in exhange of pockets of salt.
