A transient and mysterious creature of the deep woods, forest tribes refer to it as Machimera. 'Ma' is their word for God, the term 'Machimera' suggests a chimera created by god, not borne from science or magic. This also reflects tribe beliefs that refer to this creature as a demigod of the wilds.

People hopelessly lost in the woods are said to find themselves judged by this creature. Tales say it will lead the pure of heart back to their village, and the cruel deeper into perpetual wilderness. It will never approach the lost, simply appearing within eyeshot until they choose to follow it. Like mother nature, the Machimera is neither friend or foe. It can be a savior or executioner, beautiful or terrible. Whether you should follow it when it appears hinges on what kind of person you consider yourself to be.

Whether this is indeed a sentient demigod or merely a naturally breeding creature remains unknown as no bodies have ever been found. It has always been reported to appear alone, and only to lone persons.
