Roper Solitary, Large, Stealthy, Intelligent Bite (d10+1 damage) 16 HP 1 Armor Close, Reach Special Qualities: Rock-like Flesh Evolutionary happenstance has created a clever underground predator. Disguised as a rocky formation—most often a stalactite or stalagmite—the roper waits for its prey to wander by. When it does, whether it’s a rat, a goblin or a foolhardy adventurer, a mass of thin, whipping tentacles erupts from the thing’s hide. A hundred lashes in the blink of an eye and the stunned prey is being dragged into the roper’s mouth. Surprisingly effective for a thing that looks like a rock. Instinct: To ambush • Ensnare the unsuspecting • Disarm a foe • Chew on someone Rot Grub Horde, Tiny Burrow (d6-2 damage) 3 HP 0 Armor Hand Special Qualities: Burrow into flesh They live in your skin. Or your organ meat. Or your eyeballs. They grow there and then, in a bloody and horrific display, burrow their way out. Disgusting. Instinct: To infect • Burrow under flesh • Lay eggs • Burst forth from an infected creature 242
Spiderlord Solitary, Large, Devious, Intelligent Mandibles (d8+4 damage) 16 HP 3 Armor Close, Reach Special Qualities: Burrowing Even spiders have their gods, whispered to in webs with little praying arms. Instinct: To weave webs (literal and metaphorical) • Enmesh in webbing • Put a plot into motion Troglodyte Group, Organized Club (d8 damage) 10 HP 1 Armor Close Long-forgotten, our last remaining ancestors dwell in caves in the wild parts of the world. Driven away by our cities and villages, our iron swords and our fire, these ape-men eat their meat raw with sharp-nailed hands and jagged teeth. They strike out at frontier villages wielding clubs and in overwhelming numbers to seize cattle, tools, and poor prisoners to drag into the hills. Known for their viciousness and their stink, they’re an old and dying race we’d all sooner forget existed. Instinct: To prey on civilization • Raid and retreat • Use scavenged weapons or magic 243
