Crossroad Gnarlhart - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Crossroad Gnarlhart

Locals around Old Harwick say the beast was once a forest stag that survived a poacher's trap and drank from a bloodied roadside spring. Others insist the bandits from the Crossroad Bandit Hold painted its antlers with stolen warding oils to turn it into a living alarm. Both stories are partly true: the gnarlhart remembers cruelty, and it has learned that the road brings pain.
