    Draugr Solitary, Terrifying
    Sword (d10 damage) 16 HP 2 armor
    Close, Near
    Special Qualities: Undead

    The draugr or draug is an undead creature from the Scandinavian saga literature and folktales. Commentators extend the term draugr to the undead in medieval literature, even if it is never explicitly referred to as such in the text, and designated them rather as a haugbúi ("barrow-dweller") or an aptrganga, literally "again-walker" (Icelandic: afturganga).Draugar live in their graves or royal palaces, often guarding treasure buried with them in their burial mound. They are revenants, or animated corpses with a corporeal body, rather than ghosts which possess intangible spiritual bodies.The draugr was referred to as "barrow-wight" in the 1869 translation of Grettis saga, long before J. R. R. Tolkien employed this term in his novels, though "barrow-wight" is actually a rendering of haugbúinn (literally the ‘howe-dweller’), otherwise translated as "barrow-dweller" Instinct: Slays intruders

    The Wyrm Jokun Solitary, Huge, Stealthy, Intelligent, Hoarder
    Teeth, Breath, Claws, Tail (d10+7 damage) 16 HP 3 armor
    Reach, Forceful, Near
    Special Qualities: Armoured skull, Wings, Lithe body, Flaming breath

    Jokun is thirty feet long with enormous, powerful wings, a club-like tail, and vicious talons, but she is slender enough to wriggle through human-sized tunnels: she can force her way through any passageway wide enough to accept her armored skull. Her iron-hard scales are ice-clear against her mottled white and blue flesh, and she is practically invisible when motionless against a white background. While she breaths fire, she prefers to eat her kills frozen, and likes to stash them somewhere cold until they're nice and crunchy and not so drippy. Instinct: To ravage

    • Spew jets of fire
    • Blend in motionless with ice and snow
    • Shatter something with her tail
