Type Miscellaneous item
Name box of beasts
Icon Box of beasts.png
A box filled with the bizarre leftovers of a depraved wizard's magical experimentations. Opening it might set loose a friendly mutant beast: bizarre creatures, each with their own combination of traits. Increased skill with Evocations will allow stronger beasts to be released.

A box of beasts is a miscellaneous magic item which can summon an irregular, albeit friendly, monster, classified generally as a mutant beast.

Mutant Beast

A mutant beast combines a number of random traits. The list of these traits, and their patterns, are not yet known.
