The Spinchilla is a monster in the series.

Not to be confused with the recurring Maelstrom skill.

Characteristics edit

Spinchillas are unusual green-skinned sea elementals with cartoonish faces that ride around on swirling whirlpools on the ocean's surface. They have augmented the wind manipulation abilities possessed by their blue cousins with control over the stormy seas as well, being capable of freezing adventurers solid with their ice magic. Their name is a pun based on the Chinchilla rodent.
