Ubir (animal)

Ubirs are solitary, bloodsucking creatures that prowl the fresh battlefields and isolated villages of Aironoi. The first stories of the creature only came to be after the Frodbrokna, making the Ubir either a recent change to its environment, or an old threat reawakened. They are said to be extremely repulsive, possessing the snout of a common mosquito that they use to drain their victims of blood, and are extremely aggressive. Some claim that if you are to encounter one in your travels, you should be ready to meet death.

Ubirs are known to be bloodthirsty, repulsive creatures, commonly found in the Aironoian steppe digging through the rotting corpses of recent battles. Stories speak of the monsters sneaking into villages under the cover of night to take children back to its lair. We followed these rumors and treked through the fetid, bloodsoaked battlefields of the steppe hunting our quarry. When all hope seemed lost for finding this horrific creature, luck seemed on our side.

A few miles south of the last battlefield we searched, one of my companion's discovered a shoddy, nearly crumbled cave entrance, hidden by the tall grass. The cave's mouth seems dug out from the earth, almost a straight drop down beneath its surface. The putrid air escaping from beneath the dirt almost makes me gag the closer I come to the cave. If we hope to find this monster, this will be our best chance, but I cannot say I like the odds of fighting such a creature in its lair. We must be cautious, and ready to strike if we hope to survive.
