Monster [Spawn]:
The [Spawn] series revolves around the concept of the greater beings having “power droppings” that they leave all over the place. This oft manifests into the twisted spawn of hell, the abyss, or even the greater planes. These creatures are normally found on their connected plane, however, they can often be found on other planes after a greater demon or the likes has walked upon it, building themselves from the remains of a cast spell or even from the scorched ground their feet have touched.
These creatures are also summonable by a “Summon Monster 5” spell, adherent to their normal alignment, and can also be racially be summoned by a demon, devil, or the likes of their home plane as if they were summoning a bearded devil or such things.

How To Create Your Own Spawn
[Spawn] are a very easy thing to make. First off, you must create your basic spawn, with a specific base plane. For example you might have a “Mechanicus” spawn that hails from the Mechanicus plane, made entirely of metal plates and such, or an angel type from the celestial planes with white wings and a golden aura. There are as many types of Spawn as there are planes, so hence there’s a lot of room for creation. Now, first off, all spawn must have an elemental base, of either Sonic, Fire, Ice, Lightening, or Acid. A base spawn will usually have a resistance of 5 to all elements, and a 10 for their primary kind. They will also have innate spells or at least special abilities connected to their home plane. They will also always have a powerful weapon of some kind, a magical spear, sword, axe, bow, ect. After all of this, it is merely up in the air, aside from the fact that they are ALL immune to poison and death spells. This includes any attempts to resurrect them!
