Added 2025-05-28 20:53:53 +0000 UTCHey Critical Crew!
We've got our final sneak peek of June's release prior to it getting released next week, so check out the Ōgama for today's WIPWednesday. Check out the lore below and be ready to bring the toad sage to your table!
"...Ōgama are massive toad-like creatures that begin life as common toads. These toads often venture up into the mountains, or to secluded lakes, rivers, springs, or other bodies of water far from civilization. There, the toads grow to immense size and age (some say due to the inherent magic of the places they live in, though no one truly knows why). When a toad reaches one thousand years of age, it transforms into an ōgama possessed of magical abilities, rudimentary intelligence, and massive size...
...Ōgama are known for their magical abilities, breathing forth clouds of rainbows that can reveal mystical secrets, paralyze their foes, transform other creatures, or obscure vision. Sages, truth-seekers, and those obsessed with unlocking the mysteries of transmutation, longevity, alchemy, or the mystic arts will often seek out an ōgama, hoping the yokai will bestow its supposed secret knowledge as ōgama are associated with these themes (either through folklore, tradition, or social constructs)...."
