  • Gut Harvester Solitary, Medium, Terrifying
    Gore With Tusks (d8+2 damage) 16 HP 1 armor
    Close, Forceful, Reach
    Special Qualities: Gullet filled with gore and intestines

    This beast mainly scavenges and consumes internal organs from already dead prey, but it is just as likely to go hunting for live prey as well. It uses its huge tusks to disembowel creatures, filling its over-sized gular pouch (like a pelican) with internal organs before returning to its lair to eat in peace. Giants and ogres sometimes use the beasts as 'dogs', domesticating them and using them as watch animals, hunters, and pets. In the wilds they have a more feral society. They will often fly into a rage, thrashing about with their huge tusks and front claws if they are injured. The beast is roughly the size of a mountain lion, but far more powerfully built, with a head that resembles a large snapping turtle with sharp teeth and two oversized tusks which they sharpen on stones. Its throat pouch is likely to carry the remains of rotting organs and flesh from previous meals. Instinct: to disembowel & feed

    • Pounce and gore
    • Fly into a frenzy
    • Vomit up rotting organs
