Some sorcerers care little for unholy realms or undead forms, seeking power instead in the whims of cruel chaos. This ominous owl-winged head is all that remains of a former archmage: it delights in spreading misfortune and drinking blood in its new airborne form. “In its simplest form it is a bird of the night, an owl (_Strix rufipes_) that flies on silent wings during the night to announce illness, death, or some other unwelcome event. When its croaking is heard it is advised to throw ash into the air and utter a few prayers in the hopes of turning away its evil. The chonchón is also said to be a _calcu_ or evil sorcerer in disguise. It resemble a human head, with oversized wing-like ears that allow it to fly. During the night, these sorcerers’ heads detach themselves from their bodies and fly around to cause mischief, invisible to most, their ominous _tué, tué, tué_ call announcing misfortune. They have the same powers as sorcerers do, and have been known to suck the blood of sleepers.” - _A Book of Creatures_, 2015.

Tips & Tricks

• Beckoning Gale could easily result in death for squishy characters in tightly packed Depths. Thus it's better to get rid of chonchons as soon as possible, luckily their hp value is not too large.
