Places and objects
An incomplete guide to some of the places, objects and creatures of the House and Secondary Realms.
Scouchers
A type of Nithling, Scouchers come out of narrow cracks and fissures and so are very thin, but they typically gain a more defined physical presence in the Secondary Realms by consuming the blood or ichor of local inhabitants.
They always have several limbs that end in very fine tentacles, which are lined with tiny but extremely sharp teeth. They use these tentacles to cut their victims, who usually fall unconscious.
They can be defeated using silver, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum.
