When a nymph catches the attention of a fiend and the fiend takes advantage of the creature, the resulting offspring is not always a half-fiend. Roughly one in 20 such incidents results instead in a strange creature known as a forlarren\xe2\x80\x94a unique creature that possesses its own unusual abilities and qualities. A forlarren stands 6 feet tall and weighs about 160 pounds. In theory, these creatures can live for hundreds of years, but most perish through violence before they turn 10. \n'b' Painful Childhood. Few nymphs survive the ordeal of giving birth to a forlarren\xe2\x80\x94those who do might attempt to raise their children in loving environments, but the evil that lurks in a forlarren\xe2\x80\x99s soul is powerful. In most cases where a nymph attempts to raise a forlarren child, it\xe2\x80\x99s only a matter of time before the forlarren grows resentful and its evil nature compels it to murder its mother. \n'b' Most forlarrens are female, and few are capable of conceiving children of their own. A forlarren grows to adulthood with astonishing speed, reaching full growth in only a year\xe2\x80\x94even those who come into the world as orphans are capable of defending themselves and seeking out food. Yet despite the rapidity with which they reach maturity, few forlarrens survive to adulthood. Cast out from both sylvan and fiendish society, the typical forlarren is a lonely creature, cursed by its own existence. It detests itself and everything it sees, and soon becomes consumed by hatred of life itself. The forlarren vents its rage on good and evil alike, lashing out at anything that approaches it.'
