Every Monday we release a new featured Bounty Boss, sharing a bit of lore and information about the Seven Realms most treacherous creatures. We are sharing our backlog of Monster Mondays for our Steam users to enjoy.
Mystique
Race: Wraith Spider
Location: The Cathedral
In her former life, Mystique was a small town milk maid from Vinton. Mystique was the type of person that constantly harassed those around her and found everyone else inferior. Upon recollection, several locals from Vinton noted Mystique's uncanny ability at fibbing. She was known to spin elaborate webs of falsities and deceit. Everyone watched their tongues closely around Mystique, as they didn't want something that was said to be taken out of context, and blown out of proportion.
Additionally, Mystique had illustrious illusions of grandeur, and was convinced that she would eventually become someone great and wonderful. And as it turns out, she was right… but probably not how she wanted.
The Banshee Queen eventually heard tales of the fabled fibber, and chose Mystique for the exact reasons that the townspeople of Vinton detested her. The Queen needed someone who she could name as successor that would be able to keep the undead of the Southern Coast in line.
So one completely average Tuesday night (that was not at all dark, stormy, or ominous), the Banshee Queen made an offer to Mystique that couldn't be refused. She offered power, glory, authority, and everlasting life… all of the things that Mystique greatly desired.
What the Banshee Queen failed to mention to Mystique, was that the Queen had never actually done this process before. Mystique would be her first, and the Queen wasn't exactly confident about how the transformation would go.
For the most part it went great, minus the new chelicerae and a few additional legs.
Mystique is now the spider of mystery and wonder. It is forever known that Mystique was the first soul that the Banshee Queen ever extracted from a body, and she is the closest thing the Banshee Queen has to family. Mystique is now worshiped in like manner to the Queen, and has been taught the dark ways so that if anything should happen to the Banshee Queen, she may take the reigns as the terror of the Southern Coast.
