Description
Witchling prodigies tower over their standard counterparts, standing at a height of 4 to 4 1/2 feet. These elite The Otherwyld creatures are similarly adorned with intricate scarred tattoos but often have more elaborate and intimidating masks, reflecting their elevated status. Their dark skin appears more weathered, and their eyes burn brighter with hatred. Designed to be living vessels of potent toxins, the prodigies are constantly in search of a victim on whom to unleash their devastating end.   History
Conjured into existence by Mother Malign, a malevolent witch from the Otherwyld, witchlings have been unleashed upon Dromaria to sow chaos and assassinate important figures. Following Mother Malign's recent defeat, many witchlings have remained, continuing their destructive tendencies and aligning themselves with other evil entities from the Otherwyld. Witchling prodigies are the natural leaders of their lesser counterparts, often orchestrating elaborate schemes and commanding witchling packs.   Tactics
A witchling prodigy prioritizes weakening its primary target, often employing hexes to this end. If under its command, prodigies will send witchlings to weaken opponents first, sacrificing them as needed to spread their poison. Similar to standard witchlings, prodigies engage in stealthy reconnaissance and ambush tactics but do so with more strategic finesse, owing to their elevated position and experience.
"There are few poisons more deadly than the blood of the bigger witchlings. It's better to keep your distance if you can, they always manage to leave their mark."
