MitD VI: The Undiscovered Creature (Please Read the First Post)

[Grey_Wolf_c]

I am not aware of any magical ability that allows a creature to amplify existing darkness vs. just producing magical darkness. Such an ability would be a nice feather in the cap of any otherwise suitable proposal, but without even a name for this hypothetical ability, I think that the default assumption should still be that the MitD does not have anything to do with the darkness surrounding him, beyond staying in it.

Yep, that is my general feeling. "Able to generate a darkness field dispersable by regular light" is like an even rarer form of "can explain the escape with wish" or "can explain the earthquake with Earthquake SLA". Yes, ideal if it does come up, but so rare that most decent suggestions do without.

In the entire history of this thread, I believe it has come up once - a creature of the underdark of Forgotten Realms, IIRC, had a weak magical darkness that didn't work in daylight.
