TREMENS
Strange pests that arise when powerful magic, particularly alchemy, are in effect. A tremens is the size of a large dog, but its body is boneless and moves almost like liquid. Its skinless form makes others around it feel unnerved by the strength and grace from a seemingly skinned creature. Tremens are hungry for magic and are known to break into potion shops and alchemy colleges to consume the reagents found there. They can be particularly dangerous for alcehmists walking home alone at night, the alchemy is a natural lure for a tremens and it’s favorite snack is mortal soul.
