Changes
no edit summary
Their changes would only begin fully once they had fulfilled the Maw's Law, and killed something equal, something greater. And at that moment their gruesome transfiguration would begin; in all it's wretched glory. Bones snapping and shifting, organs rearranged, flesh burning as clay in a kiln. It would be agonizing, nevermind the fright of onlookers. But it would be swift, and soon the best crawling on four would stand tall on two.
Most of these wretched creatures would find their way to the forest proper, soon after. They would fight (and live) in the forest as any other murderer of the Maw, striving ever higher like one as well. The remainder ''couldn't'', or ''wouldn't'' handle the change, their minds stubbornly refusing to rise higher. Those would remain runts, living amongst their worldly homes. Think "Yeti" or your humanoid cryptid of choice.
**"Stymphalian Birds" Grail/Heart
**Wretched beasts, little more than mouths with wings stuck to their bloated carcasses. They once soared on glimmering wings, but sold their promise to better indulge their hungers. They were disinherited from the Maw's forest dominion, and hold no protection from the Pact. Would-be summoners are advised to take care, their loyalty lasts only as long as their bindings.
