  • Great White Rhinark Solitary, Large
    Large, sharp teeth (d10+5 damage) 16 HP 1 armor
    Forceful

    A vicious, deadly creature. It's origins lie in a creature thrown together by some mad wizard, but that was long ago. Now, the Great White Rhinark is a species of it's own, having shed the need for magical protection long ago. It does two things: hunt and sleep. When it's hunting, anything and everything is a target. Instinct: to hunt

    • Attack with gnawing teeth
    • Hunt down others

  • Burrowing Owl Solitary, Large, Hoarder
    Peck (d10+2 damage 3 piercing) 16 HP 0 armor

    It's an owl, right? But it's an owl the size of a really big outhouse. Also, it lives underground and its beak can drill through rock and it frequently surfaces to snag random people and drag them back to its lair. God, pre-Freeze people were dicks. Instinct: to feed

    • Drill through rock or earth
    • Grab someone and drag them to its lair
    • Gobble a dead person whole

  • Frost Giant Group, Large, Magical, Organized, Intelligent, Hoarder
    Frost-rimed club (d8+4 damage) 14 HP 1 armor
    Forceful

    "You need fire to make a great civilization. Fire to cook your food, fire to forge your weapons, fire to act as a beacon and a bulwark against the dark. But frost giants find fire, and heat in general, very uncomfortable to be around. They know that they can never have what we have, so they try to destroy us, to have revenge on the gods that made them that way." Instinct: to cover the world in ice

    • hurl a boulder like a catapult
    • Call forth ice with its thunderous voice
    • Blow a on mammoth horn to call aid

    Chomp down (d10+4 damage 3 piercing) 19 HP 5 armor
    Close, Forceful
    Special Qualities: Seems to be an ordinary treasure box until disturbed, can only be calmed by being disenchanted or destroyed

    "They called me mad. Me! Just because I dreamed of a world made free from want! You see, if you could just feed poor people to magic boxes and turn them into gold, literally everything would work itself out . . . economics? What, no, of course I haven't studied them! I'm a wizard, not a businessman!" Instinct: To make meat into treasure

    • Eat humanoids and digest them into gold coins
    • It LOOKS like an ordinary treasure chest . . .

  • Sobbing Cherubs Group, Stealthy, Magical, Devious, Intelligent, Planar
    Slam (d10+2 damage) 10 HP 5 armor
    Close, Forceful

    The Sobbing Cherubs are an ancient alien race that appear as statues. Their usual mode of feeding is to send their victims back in time, which creates time energy to feed on. When they are not being observed by another being, they can move very quickly and silently, but when they are being observed, they become "quantum-locked", occupying a single position in space and becoming stone. In this state, they are frozen and difficult to destroy. They cannot suppress this reaction. If two Sobbing Cherubs were to look at each other at the same time, they would be trapped in stone form until an outside force moves them apart. To prevent this, they often cover their eyes while moving - this makes them look as though they are sobbing. Instinct: Feed on Time

    • Send victims back in time
    • Hide in plain sight
    • Steal victim's voice
    • Attack with great speed

  • Cyclops Solitary, Huge, Intelligent
    Throw boulder (d10+5 damage) 20 HP 1 armor
    Near, Reach, Far, Ignores Armor

    Despite their immense skill at their barn-sized forges, these one-eyed giants always seem to end up wanting what other people have. Whether it be a beautiful woman, magical object, or just a piece of land, cyclopes become easily fixated on possessing certain things and get downright stubborn about having them. This often brings them into conflict with fathers-of-brides, kings, high wizards, local farmers, and well, just about anyone who has something the cyclops wants. Not inherently evil, cyclopes are simply used to getting what they want through force and intimidation. On the other hand, they have been known to reward those who bring them their objects of desire with magical weapons and armor. Instinct: To aquire the object of its infatuation

    • Demand or take something precious
    • Intimidate through destruction
    • Pick up and squeeze
    • Make a deal

    The flesh of warg, cheetah and gnoll, melded onto a skeleton of steel. Once its creator sets it on a target, it will never stop until one of the two are dead. Instinct: to hunt its target
