1d10 Random Eldritch Artifacts of The Beaktopus Of Neptune For Your Old School Campaigns

Neptune is one of the most dangerous planets in the solar system & home to a wide array of monsters including the savage semi fungi  beaktopus tribes that reproduce around the great white formations in the clouds. It is a violent world know among certain scholars of the forbidden as  "Yaksh". 

The Yakshians reproduce by using the locked & decaying corpse of one of the spawn of the Outer Gods. This monster god's body is impregnated with hundreds of thousands of spores. These horrors feed upon the spores that hatch from the occult energies of the corpse as it is exposed to the howling winds of Neptune. 

Those brave enough to do battle with the deadly psychic philosopher wizard rulers  of the beaktopus report giant floating plate cities of metal & weird stone like fungal growths. There are thousands of odd rooms, temples, etc. which twisted in all kinds of strange shapes at angles that can disturb the mind. Artifacts & relics from these alien places sometimes find their ways into the dungeons & underworld ruins. The beaktopus colonies move to conquer more & more of the weird underworld of various planes & alternative worlds.
