Every great villain needs his army of generic minions. The Creatures can operate independently or as a group, capable of forming entire armies if Krynshar so desires. They handle the more basic tasks—ones that don’t require formidable abilities to accomplish. Lacking individual personalities, they simply follow Krynshar’s commands to the best of their limited capabilities.

Concept Creation​

It always seemed like a good idea for Krynshar to have servants in large numbers who can disguise themselves as any ordinary person to perform simple errands and help achieve Krynshar’s goals when needed. If Krynshar can create and summon specific creatures, it makes sense that he can summon generic creatures without as much personality, if only to amass in great numbers and give an extra taste of the power of a great villain like Krynshar. Therefore, these creatures do not have a proper name, they are just creatures... the lowest level in the scale of creatures created by Krynshar. It seems like the perfect type of creature to fit into any Krynsharverse whenever needed: because they don’t have personalities, they can fit into any type of story.

Character Creation​

When I think of generic low-level servants, many references immediately come to mind, but the most striking for me are the Shadowkhan (from Jackie Chan Adventures). Efficient servants, who can be summoned whenever needed with their glowing red eyes, human silhouettes, and no personality, their mysterious faces also works as a way to diminish them: since their main purpose is to appear generic and in large numbers, their faces don't matter.

This more human silhouette refers to something simpler. A monstrous or different silhouette adds something special or different and I don't want that for this creature. The more human silhouette and the lack of a face (mouth or nose) fits perfectly to these creatures’ main function: to assume the appearance of humans. It's like they're generic creatures with no identity that take on different identities to serve Krynshar. Everything seems to fit so well with the purpose of these characters.

Every Red Mist creature created by Krynshar necessarily has to have a Red Mist body (obviously), glowing red eyes, and horns. I chose a simple, small pair of horns for this case, as compared to the large and elaborate horns of other creatures. Smaller and simpler horns look inferior, and that is the intention.
