The moodhog's emotions or its moods can be controlled by the DM or by the roll of a d10 by the DM unless the player wants to roll it. Now in certain situations the moodhog's mood will change. For example: A ghost appears and jumps at the party. In this case the moodhog will most likely become scared or startled. Creating a MoodhogMoodhogs are not born in the wild, they are created in labs or mage towers by infusing large amounts of magic with a Hedgehog, to be precise five spells from each school of magic. This is a very tricky and dangerous process and must be done with the utmost care in order for it to succeed. Note this process could work on other animals but its up to the DM and players to decide that. The Dm can decide what is needed for the process or change how many spells are needed. If there is a need for it I will post a picture of the spell list. |
