Description

Surrounded by twitching tendrils of wispy light the nimbus could be mistaken for a particularly ill-tempted will-o'-the-wisp. Closer inspection reveals a pale imp-like body, with four clawed arms twisted with excessive joints. Softly glowing swirls of color drift aimlessly along its skin as it silently hovers slightly off the ground.

In Depth

Comes in varieties of: hateful, maimed, malicious, baleful, malevolent, spiteful, rampaging, vindictive (possibly more).

Naturally has Divine Radiance active.

After death, the body of a nimbus may turn into a thealstone.
Example: The lifeless hateful nimbus disintegrates into motes of light that coalesce into a white thealstone.

Rapid Claw Attack

The hateful nimbus explodes in a blinding flash of light! The sudden assault leaves you stunned as spots dance through your vision.

The hateful nimbus silently claws at you! However, you manage to twist barely out of the way.

The hateful nimbus silently claws at you! However, you manage a hasty parry.

Recall

Native to the Plane of Probability the nimbuses are frigid beings of solidified starlight. Like most interlopers from that plane, their usual method of interaction is violent and inexplicably hostile.

The favorite tactic of the nimbus is to briefly gather its strength before giving off a blinding burst of light. The nimbus will generally follow this assault with rapid claw attacks on its now disabled opponent.

Due to their starlight-based physiology, nimbuses are particularly vulnerable to shadow-based attacks. However, they are highly resistant to cold attacks, and will actually draw strength from light-based magics.

Bugs

Despite it's recall, it's not unusually affected by either light or shadow attacks. A GM has stated this is likely to change once Magic 3.0 is released.
