Mareskunk

The Mareskunk is another native of the Swamp of Shadows. It is a magical creature, with the power to absorb emotions from beings around it. In case of danger, it uses these emotions as a defense mechanism. The villagers close to the swamp still speak of the Mareskunk that had absorbed the emotions of a man being devoured by a Spider vine. It wrecked havoc around the countryside for years, driving people mad with the hapless fellow's death anxiety.
