A homunculus is a tiny creature crafted out of the caster’s blood and tissue, shaped to perform menial tasks or to be a spy. Homunculi can have many different capacities, including limited flight, burrowing, or grunting speech. Establishing a psychic connection to a homunculus causes a link instead to the consciousness of its creator. These creatures tend to be loyal, if prone to pranks and cruel amusements.

A homunculus has two health levels and two dots in each Physical Attribute. When it is destroyed, its creator takes one unsoakable point of aggravated damage. A homunculus must be fed one blood point each week, or it will wither and die. (For more information, see p. 151.)
