You can quickly generate a entity with the automated generator I crafted on Perchance: https://perchance.org/rswdaedldh
Or you can do it with dice:
The entity is [TRAIT] and [TRAIT].
It reacts to [STIMULI].
The entity is [ACTION]
to [GOAL].
A [PERSON] has been in contact with the entity
and is now [REACTION].
Tore used the generator to write a entity for his blog: Dorzad, the Parasite Redeemer.
(If you create one, share your interpretation of the result or a link in the comment)

The entity is small and mineral. It reacts to odours. The entity is digesting and assembling minerals to repair reality. A small group of women has been in contact with the entity and is now crafting strange things.
This is fabulous. I've got a dozen Cthulhu adventures churning through my mind now.
This is awesome! Entity AND potential adventure hook!
