Bestiary

Chirurgeons are a new manifestation of the Wyld, born from advances in health care and medical science. These spirits are not derived from medical technologies — instead they come from medical chaos, and the spontaneity of medical research and new ways to grow.

Chirurgeons appear in places where people perform any type of surgical procedure to graft, transplant, or otherwise add body parts onto an organism. Chirurgeons may appear in surgical suites used by doctors renowned for daring reconstructive surgeries or in research labs where scientists are growing human body parts on animal vectors.

Once the Chirurgeons awaken, they immediately get to work on their own agenda — creating new life. They use the modern medical techniques that awoke them to stitch pieces of unrelated creatures and spirits together to create new creatures and new spirits. They use whatever they find around them, and grow stronger with each successful life altering surgery.

Most Chirurgeons are incapable of splicing life together from much more complex organisms than plants and bacteria. Some have started creating new spirits by stripping down parts of other spirits and splicing them together. The newly awakened spirit is purely of the Wyld, not representing anything in particular except the unchecked chaos of creation. These small spirits require new creations to survive, and rarely grow beyond Gafflings, though they do try to seed chaos around them as much as possible while awake. These spirits are also classified as Chirurgeons, though they bear little resemblance to the spirits that created them.
