Examples of Monster
- Baku: Despite its size and bulk, a baku can move rapidly, attacking with a goring butt and two foreleg stomps. It stomps only man-sized opponents or those less than 6 feet tall.
- Death Watch Beetle: Far more deadly than the death watch beetle’s ability to surprise its foes is its death rattle (a deadly sonic vibration). When the creature is in combat, it vibrates its carapace very rapidly, setting up an unusual clicking sound that resembles a gong. Victims are unlikely (only a 10% chance) to locate the beetle by this sound alone. This noise is very destructive at close range. After the beetle begins to make its rattle, anyone within 30 feet must dodge-roll perfectly, in the manner of Quake Time Event rolling, or be instantly slain.
- Bhut: Legend says that bhuts came into being long ago, when an angry Immortal cursed a town that had defiled her temple. The town was destroyed, and the scattered blasphemers became bhuts. Their chilling bite is an eternal reminder of the Immorttal‘s cold rage. Such a supernatural origin would explain the bhuts’ magical powers.
