These stone guardians are magically enchanted to protect an important
location from intruders. When the specified conditions arise, the statue
will come to life and attack the closest foe. Animated statues are incapable
of distinguishing friend from foe, and will attack until all targets have
been slain. Once the threat is eliminated, the statue will return to its
previous pose.

Dark furred creatures about this size of a small monkey, these winged
beasts thrive in the Mystal Forest. Their facial features are somewhat
ape-like, with deep brown eyes, pointed ears, a flat nose, and pointed
jaw. While on the ground, the Batreng can travel upright using a slow,
waddling gait. Once they take to the wing, however, they are quite agile
flyers and can swoop and scramble through the heaviest growth.
The Batreng possess an intense curiosity, and will investigate any
unusual sounds or shiny objects. Many a merchant has cursed a Batreng
who stole a silver ornament or glassy gem. Families of Batreng organize
themselves into a travelling formation, with scouts above and to the
flanks, and the toughest males positioned in front where they can ward
off any approaching foe. Lone Batreng are much more cautious, and rarely
leave cover when a predator is nearby.
Orcs have been known to domesticate Batreng by capturing the young and
crippling their wings before they learn to fly. These pathetic specimens lurk
around the Orc camps, diving for scraps after a meal. They serve as sport for
the cruel games of the Orc infants.

While they appear to be normal wolves with a thick, dull black coat, these
beasts exist only to spread fear and horror at the behest of the Doom Priests.
They will be found naturally only on the plane of Doom, or in the lands most
blighted with his evil.

These snow-white creatures appear similar to a lynx, but with a long
serated beak. This powerful beak can saw through most common armor.
Their shiny flesh appears to emit a blue flame that will inflict freezing
damage on contact. They can also emit a hideous screech that will cause
many beings to be paralyzed in terror. It is thought that the Blazing
Terror is a creature summoned from a parallel icy dimension, but little
is known about their habitat.

This odd creature lurks in the upper reaches of limestone caverns, waiting
for prey to walk underneath. When a sufficiently large target moves into
position, the Spike drops from the ceiling to pierce the victim with its hard,
conical body. Eggs are planted within the still-warm corpse, then the Spike
slowly climbs back to the ceiling using its single, muscular foot. The mature
spike consumes moss and lichen growing on the rock.

Also known as the Bone Crusher, the hideous Cellar Dweller is a creation
of pure evil. It dwells in the dark cramped spaces in the cellar and
under furniture, waiting for an opportunity to slay innocents and spread
mayhem. The Cellar Dweller resembles a small ogre with olive flesh and
sparkling white pupils. Staring into the eyes of this creature will cause
temporary blindness, while the fanged bite will cause a numbing weakness
to quickly spread through the body. Fortunately it is vulnerable to the
abilities of holy persons, and direct exposure to sunlight is lethal.

This small, flying creature has an appearance similar to a sprite, but is a
deep blue in color and constantly radiates a bitter cold. It can easily
withstand sub-zero temperatures, and prefers to dwell in icy surroundings such
as an Iceberg. The Chyte can fly slowly through most solid materials, allowing
it to penetrate through glaciers and build a dwelling in an ice cave. Due to
its icy nature, the Chyte is highly vulnerable to fire fire, and will suffer
excruciating pain when exposed to warmer temperatures.
It is a moderately intelligent and friendly creature, and will sometimes
aid travellers who do not carry fire. However, the Chyte will unceasingly
attack any beings who carry open flames into its territory. It wears simple
garb spun from lichen, and carries a tiny silver spear that only does 1-pip of
damage.

Native to the plane of Lava, these faintly glowing, egg-shaped rocks fly in
small packs looking for a warm place to nest. Their small size, combined with
a swift, darting flight pattern, make them especially difficult to strike.
They will drive off anybody who disturbs their home by ramming the intruders
with their scorching hot bodies.
When not in their native plane, Cinderlings are commonly found near active
lava tubes, hot springs, and other sources of geologic heat. Naturally, cool
water or cold weather conditions can be quite lethal to these beings.

This spawn of the nether planes is both hideous to behold and extremely
dangerous to defy. Through some mysterious means, the hideous, egg-shaped
body constantly floats about a meter above the ground. The fanged maw sits
low in the gaunt belly, surrounded by a mat of waving tentacles that trail
down to the ground. Clustered about the scalp, a ring of black eyes peer
outward in all directions. A set of five somewhat larger eyes, with a
slightly larger central eye, looks out from just above the mouth, and serves
as the primary source of vision for this villainous beast.
The Demon Eye is utterly without redeeming humanitarian qualities, and
lives only to dominate or destroy those around it. The ring of eyes have
lethal powers that efficiently serve the beast to this end. The cunning
mind of this creature makes it a particularly dangerous opponent, even to
the demon lords of the nether planes. When released upon the realms, a
Demon Eye is a most formidable foe indeed. The Eye will usually be found
among dark, dank, subterranean ruins, surrounded by a retinue of slaves,
guardians, evil allies, and other spawn from the depths.

This fierce warrior being is magically created from
the void when a dragon's tooth is planted in the ground.
It is humanoid in form, but has features of a dragon.
These include a scaled hide, a fanged protruding mouth,
no ear lobes or hair, a heavy neck, and a thick tail.
They begin with no will of their own, but quickly develop
a sense of self-identity. In due course they will strike
out to find their place in the world and seek others of
their kind.
The newly formed dragon warrior will have no
abilities besides a deeply predatory nature and basic
survival instincts, and must be taught nearly
everything. Fortunately it is a fast learner and will
be able to communicate on a basic level within a few
weeks.
When slain, the dragon warrior dissolves into a
cloud of smoke and vanishes. He can be slain by the
normal means or a suitably powerful dispel magic.

Shaped somewhat like their larger cousins, these Draconian beasts are
proportionally stockier in build, with a pale yellow hide and heavy limbs.
Dwarf Wyrms spend most of their life deep under the Eldar Mountains. They have
evolved powerful claws to dig quickly through solid rock. Their stubby wings
are now mere vestiges of their former glory, but they serve as adequate
climbing hooks when scaling a cavern wall or ceiling.
Despite their smaller size, Dwarf Wyrms are still a formidable foe and much
feared by inhabitants of the underground world. Their breath weapon has
adopted to the tunnel life, emitting a stream of powerful corrosive fluid. The
Wyrm hide is tougher than that of a lesser dragon, and sports two rows of
folding barbs along the back.

These large, graceful predators dwell high in the mountain ranges, where
they soar among the clouds searching for suitable prey. Territorial in nature,
they build huge nests atop peaks and great cliffs, from whence they can survey
their land. However, they are unusually intelligent and possess an elegant
language and social structure. Giant Eagles will sometimes be seen in great
flock performing an aerial dance of unknown significance.
Much like their smaller cousins, the Giant Eagle has a huge wing span, with
sharp eye sight, talons, and a predatory beak. Most are dark brown in color
with a white head and wing tips. Their beak and talons are golden brown. Giant
Eagles will defend their hatchings with a furious valor that will make even an
aggressive gryphon pause.
The favorite prey of Giant Eagles are large, herd animals that dwell on the
mountain sides and alpine valleys. These include mountain sheep, elk, moose,
and goats. Typically they will leave the large predators alone, unless food is
in especially short supply.

An Eerie Assistant is not a living being in the normal sense, but is a
magical force summoned to the bidding of a Wizard. The standar Assistant
will not engage in any form of combat, but will follow any orders given by
its master even at the cost of its own existence. The assistant is normally
wrapped in clothing to allow the Wizard to view his actions.
The Eerie Slugger is an enhanced version of the Eerie Assistant that
has some limited unarmed combat ability. This later type of entity is
very difficult to control during combat and will often attack any nearby
targets.

This servant being from the plane of lava is magically created to carry out
the whims of its masters. It resembles little more than a big, shapeless
blob of molten rock. An Eldraal lacks any will of its own and has only a
modest intelligence. In the normal world, however, these creatures can be
tough and dangerous entities due to their molten bodies. They have the
ability to form new limbs that can be stretched out for several meters.
They can also pass through solid rock and can peer through the stone while
doing so. Finally, in addition to being physically tough, they have the
ability to heal themselves whenever they are in contact with lava.

A creation of pure evil, this beast serves only to spread fear and dissent
among the weaker mortal races. Normally, this beast will take the form of an
small stone Idol. The features of this statue are absurdly exaggerated, with a
pot belly, large pointed ears, bulging eyes, and squat arms and legs. Whenever
this beast is not being observed, however, the Idol can assume its true
hideous form - that of a small, winged demon with red scaled flesh, a fang-
lined mouth, razor-sharp talons and bat-like wings. Regardless of its form,
the mind control abilities of the Idol allow it to spread horror wherever it
is carried.

This hulking great creature of the earth has the appearance of a huge mound
of dirt, stones, moss, and plant roots that has taken the form of the upper
body of an oversized humanoid creature. In actuality, the Garguant is an
elemental life form that draws its primal powers from rich soil. The Garguant
fears little save for running water and great open spaces. It prefers to dwell
deep within an ancient forests, or in secluded alpine valleys. This beast is
unable to travel where there is no rich soil, and can not cross any flowing
water larger than a stream.
A Garguant has a great hatred for any life forms that mine the earth for
mineral wealth. This includes humans, dwarves, orcs, kobolds, and so forth. It
will normally attack its enemies by rumbling forward through the earth, then
enveloping and suffocating any targets. The Garguant can also form an arm-like
mass which can be used for a smashing blow. Finally, this beast is extremely
robust and proof against most physical attack forms, save for Water-based
spells.

These unique entities were created by a god to guard a few sacred
sites. Column Giants have nearly infinite patience and spend the majority
of their life in the form of a natural-looking column of rock. While in this
state, the giant uses a magical clairsentience ability to view the area
and look for any threats to their ward. They have no need for sustainance,
as they draw all their needs from the earth. Column Giants are extremely
reticent and will not converse with anybody except their creator.

Close relatives of the Mountain Giant, these huge beings thrive among the
dragon-free peaks of the rugged Eldar Mountains. Crevice Giants build their
mining villages out of stone, among inaccessible valleys and narrow gorges
high in the range. Their preferred hunting grounds are the peaks and rocky
water channels above the tree line, although they will make occasional
forays down into the hills when food is scarce.
They can be distinguished from their Mountain Giant cousins by flaming red
hair, a rudy complexion, and long, slender digits. Their preferred weapons
consist of large iron shot, which they can hurl at a foe from a great
distance, and massive clubs studded with iron spikes. At least three distinct
tribes of Crevice Giants live among the Eldar Mountain peaks, each with its
own distinct culture, garb, and dialect.

This enormous race of seafaring amphibians shares a common ancestor with
the Lizardmen. Some time in the distant past, however, they were changed into
the largest of the common Giant races. The hands of the Sea Giants are webbed,
but capable of handling weapons and tools fashioned from coral. A spiked
dorsal fin peaks at the rib cage, then runs the length of their back to the
tail. The ocean water supports much of their vast bulk, and they are incapable
of standing upright on dry land, even if they had legs instead of a vertical
tail.
The tough, slick, dark-green hide of the Sea Giant provides considerable
protection, and streamlines their movement through the water. Their eyes are
slitted vertically much like a cat, and provide excellent vision underwater.
They also have large, spiked ears which sense minute noises from passing
fishes and other denizens of the depths.
Sea Giants travel in small hunting parties to trap and slay large sea
creatures, such as whales or giant sharks. They even gather Orcas to join
their hunt and round up the prey. Typically, a Sea Giant hunting party is
armed with razor-sharp coral spears, and they employ a large net made from
tough shark hide.
The Sea Giant clans typically reside in clusters of underwater caves,
surrounded by delightful gardens decorated by beautiful coral and many
tropical fishes. The clans grow extensive fields of sea weeds in the ocean
shallows. They have some limited commerce with Lizardmen, but usually avoid
contact with any other surface dwellers. They are greatly feared and hated by
other intelligent sea dwellers, whom they enslave to work the farms.
There may be a rare offshoot of the Sea Giants who inhabit large,
freshwater lakes. These are smaller than their sea-going cousins, and are not
held in high regard. Most Sea Giants avoid unsalted water, unless
necessary.

Apart from their dual heads, this race of Giants could easily be mistaken
for Stone Giants, both in appearance and life style. The second head does
provide advantages, including the ability to operate each arm independently.
Since one head can remain awake and alert at all times, it is difficult to
sneak up on these beings. However, the mind of the Giant has been split
between the two heads, so that they appear less intelligent and clumsier
overall than their stone cousins.

Despite the similarity of their deprived behavior, these hulking beings are
not true Vampires. Instead, a hereditary defect fuels a severe craving for
large doses of growth hormones from other humanoid creatures. They satisfy
their urge by biting into their victim, and extracting most of the growth
glands from the body. The Vampires can exhale a powerful hypnotic gas that
will hold their target long enough to insert a special fang and extract the
gland. The wound from this bite usually proves fatal to the victim, unless
special care is taken by the Giant.
Their favorite victims are young giants with very active thyroids. For this
reason, the Giant Vampire are greatly feared by their normal kin, and are
shunned or slain outright when discovered. Giant Vampires do not receive
sufficient hormones from normal-sized humanoids, but will still attack when
their craving grows extreme.
In all other respects, Giant Vampire resemble their normal kin, and always
seek to disguise their true nature.

These howling, jabbering abominations were created in the heart of chaos
and exist only to destroy. Gibbering packs relentlessly haunt the barren
lands, looking for any creatures to consume, regardless of how small or
pitiful a meal they may provide.
When their numbers grow too great for the land to support, the Gibbering
instinctively form great hordes and advance out of their lands destroying all
in their path. Insane beyond measure, these hordes will flow forth without
stopping to feast or rest. They will not stop until they are all slain or have
starved to death. Fortunately, major invasions of this type are quite rare,
only happening every few centuries. More often their numbers are culled by
constant wars between the packs.
As creatures go, Gibberings are both revolting and terrifying to behold.
Their tapered, fang-filled maws dominate their over-large heads. Small, beady
eyes are set atop the head, with inadequate ear holes just behind. The body
tapers from front to back, with powerful front shoulders and peculiarly small
hammocks. Thick plates of cartilage along the back provide protection to the
neck and back, favorite targets of rival Gibberings. A pathetic looking tail,
bearing a small tuft at the end, drags along behind.

This mysterious phenomenon has only been observed around wind-swept lava
flows, when dry winds sweep up the steep mountain faces and create strong
electrical disturbances. Strange lightning forms dance and cavort across the
crags, leaving a trail of singed plants and magnetized iron scraps.
A noted sage believes the Glashans to be extraplanar beings, possibly from
a dimension of pure lightning plasma. They possess powerful magnetic and
electrical abilities, and prefer to linger in regions where conditions are
ripe for lightning storms. Something about the land about lava eruptions
allows these beings to move easily between the planes and take advantage of
the heavily charged conditions along the coast.

This slimy infestation is usually found in damp, underground locations.
Unable to move readily, Green Mounds lie in wait for food to come to them,
often dangling from ceilings where they can drop on passing creatures. Once in
contact with food, the slime begins dissolving the material and converting it
into more slime. Mounds can quickly eat their way through most metals and more
slowly through plant matter, but has little or no effect on
rock or glass.

These small creatures are sometimes kept as pets by Gargoyles. They
have a dark, furry, egg-shaped body with small slender legs. Their beady
eyes are a malevolent red and they have a wide, drooling mouth with
sharp, pointy teeth. Their ears are oversized and wrap around the sides
of their head. They will growl and snap like a dog and dart about with
unusual speed and energy.
The bite of these creatures can cause a harmless skin condition that
will spread across most of the body before fading away after several
weeks. This condition creates a grey, mottled-like texture that resembles
granite.

These pig-faced humanoids are undoubtedly members of the Goblinoid race,
as they share the same green flesh and stupid, unpleasant demeanor. However,
they also suffer from instability to direct sunlight, and their flesh will
boil and mutate when exposed directly to the sun. For this reason, the Grolt
always seek to hide within darkened holes during the day.
In the worst cases of lengthy exposure, a Grolt will be transformed into
a twisted, monstrous beast that seeks only to consume flesh. This sickly
form resembles a gaunt, predatory animal, with hairless, blackened flesh;
an arched backbone covered by a row of horns; barbed claws dripping with
sickly-green excretions; and a drooling jaw filled with short, crooked,
triangular fangs.

This rare beast has the head and wings of a great eagle, the forequarters
of a lion, and the hindquarters of a horse. The Hippogriff is less fierce than
its cousin the Griffon, and can move faster along the ground. In the right
hands, it can be tamed as a mount, and is capable of carrying a man in full
armor through the air.
Hippogriffs live in territorial herds on rolling plains, where they can
graze, hunt for meat, and readily take off in flight. The females lay their
sizeable eggs in a nest, then the combined herd guards the young and hunts for
their food. Young griffs are able to run long before they learn to fly, and
this is the best time to tame the creatures as mounts.

An Ice Elemental resembles a crystalline stand of deep blue glacial ice.
The bitterly cold nature of this being draws much of the heat from the
surrounding air. They make a deep ice grinding noise whenever they move,
making it nearly impossible for the Elemental to sneak up on anyone with
normal hearing. They can exist anywhere there is frozen water, although they
prefer crevasses within deep glaciers.
Ice Elementals attack by freezing their foes in a shell of bitterly cold
ice. They can also blast shards of primordial ice at their foes, although by
doing so they wound themselves.

This ferocious predator has a voracious appetite, and is much feared by all
grazing animals. The Karkadann resembles a giant, stag-like creature, with
wolf-like features and a temperament to match. Also known as a Karg, it lives
a solitary life at the edges of deserts and hot, barren lands. Much like a
Unicorn, a Karkadann bears a single horn in the center of its forehead. This
horn is reputed to be very tough, and is sensitive to the presence of poison.
One common myth concerning the Karg is that it can be stilled by the presence
of the Ringdove bird, or by a young woman of pure virtue.

The Khryg are lithe, fur-covered humanoids with long, prehensile tails.
Their heads are narrow and triangular, with a fleshy beak and a long, flowing
mane. The arms and legs are long and sinewy, with three-digit hands and feet.
Triple-jointed legs give them an odd, tottering gait that is somehow
elegant.
The beautiful fur coloration of a Khryg is grown according to a complex
pattern determined by the social structure within their tribes, and is a
source of considerable pride for these beings. Fur coloration ranges from drab
browns, yellows, or gray, to brilliant green and blue with some red, white and
black banding around the neck. Fully erect, they stand about 6-1/2 feet tall
and usually wear minimal attire.
This race is very agile and can leap between tree branches effortlessly.
The Khryg also have an amazing ability to heal wounds at an prodigal rate,
exceeded only by that of a Troll. It is believed that this ability allows the
Khryg to survive falls from great heights. Unfortunately, they are very
vulnerable to fire and have a great fear of combustion.
Despite their remarkable powers of healing, the Khryg are a cowardly race
and will usually flee their home rather than risk battle. To some folks, their
natural honesty more than makes up for their flightiness. However, they are
not widely respected among the other races. While the Khryg fall somewhat
below a typical human in intelligence, they are masters of plant lore and have
learned to shape their surroundings through magic and careful cultivation.
Living plants and trees are the only comfortable habitat for a Khryg. While
they can tolerate wood or stone structures for a period, they are always
uncomfortable in such surroundings.
Their deep love and knowledge of plant life gives the Khryg a profound
understanding of vegetation, it's purpose within the ecosystem, and how to
alter its form and function.

These four-legged insect-like creatures resemble a cross between a
large spider and a flightless dragon fly. The body of the Kyden is
polished black, with a red, symmetrical pattern along their bellies.
The tip of the tail contains a gland they use to secrete sticky
streamers the Kyden use to capture their prey. The mandibled jaws
inject a powerful juice that eats away at their victims from the
inside.
The Kyden dwell in hard nests on the underside of caverns. They
spend their entire existance living upside down near the cavern
openings. They build long, sticky streamers that are used to capture
flying creatures as they enter and exit the caverns. These streamers
hang down more than 50 meters. Old streamers often become entangled
and chocked with dirt. The Kyden build their nests within this dirt
mass, sealing the openings with secretions.
Various fungi and vine-like plants grow among the Kyden tubes,
giving the openiong a very lush appearance. During the occasional
quake, the Kyden tubes have been known to drop tons of dirt onto the
ground below. The Kyden that survive the fall become disoriented
and die.

![[Occum]](../images/hero/occum.jpg)
Lake Beast
Also known as the Occum, this hideous beast usually dwells at
the bottom of fresh water lakes and rivers. It can, however find
its way into the unguarded sewers of a city and become a menace.
It has a rubbery mottled brown-grey hide, two huge eyes at the
end of short stalks, several long tentacles, two blood-sucking
arms and a wide, gaping, tendril-lined maw. A profuse mat of
hair-like tendrils wave about its head.
The Lake Beast is primarily a scavenger, feeding on the
carrion and food debris that falls to the bottom. It will,
however, resort to predation when food runs low. Live prey is
captured by the tentacle arms and sucked dry of blood. The
corpse will then be buried until it begins to rot a few days
later. Carrion is drawn into the toothless maw to be squeazed
and ground into a cloudy pulp of mashed flesh.
For a beast, the Occum is a highly intelligent creature who
is a wily foe during combat. It will recognize weapons and seek
to disarm a foe it has grabbed. It will also flee when the odds
look poor or when it has taken serious damage. When several of
these creatures are found together, they will cooperate to
overwhelm a foe.

This ancient race of intelligent amphibian beings have adopted to life in
the underground caverns and passages. Their flesh is pigment-free, with
prominent blood vessels and some internal organs visible. The red eyes of the
Larvae people are almost vestigial organs, and they now rely on sound and odor
for senses and communication. The lower body resembles a segmented worm, with
a slight bulge at the abdomen and an irregular taper. The upper body is more
amphibian in appearance, with two powerful arms, a wide neck and mouth, and a
dorsal fin running up the back to crest above the neck.
Although steadily declining in numbers due to constant warfare, the Larvae
people are well suited to life underground and they are not to be taken
lightly by any foe. The largest surviving community of Larvae people now
reside in the underground city of Khadringale, which they still rule by means
of their mysterious mind-controlling odors.

A Lenk is a giant, flightless bird known to inhabit certain thinly wooded
wild lands. Undoubtedly a magical creation, this beast has the legs of a
Crane, the wings and body of a Gull, and the head and beak of a Hawk. While
unable to provide lift, the wings of a Lenk can create a prodigious blast that
can knock a full grown man off his feet, and enables the beast to glide quite
respectable distances. Each long, gangly leg has four claws which can grab and
hold a human-sized creature long enough for the powerful beak to tear it
apart.
When they can locate a spouse, the Lenk are known to mate for life. The
male builds a large, covered nest from tree branches dragged far across the
woods. The call of a Lenk is a long, soulful cry that can carry a great
distance on a peaceful day.

Also called the Sissirin, this little-known race has a head resembling that
of a hooded cobra, with a wiry, humanoid frame. The arms and legs of the
Manta-kine consist of flexible tentacles, with a bundle of slender tendrils at
the tip of each arm. While less than physically imposing overall, the bite of
these beings produces a toxin that can completely paralyze smaller creatures
within a few moments.
Due to their sensitive eyes, Manta-kine much prefer dim lighting, and
usually wear loose, hooded robes to cover their heads and other extremities.
The flesh is a dark, scaly green, with light and dark tan stripes extending
from just above the wide nostrils to the base of their protruding spine. The
female of the species is smaller and more numerous than the males, deep aqua
in hue, and lacks a toxic bite. The Sissirin dwell in extensive, well-
concealed adobe tunnels in the barren lands. When they mate, the Sissirin
produce batches of eggs which are kept in a fanatically guarded rookery at the
heart of their hive.
Well versed in herbal lore, they have mastered the art of cultivating
different strains of mushrooms and fungi for various specialized purposes.
Despite their nature-based civilization, the Sissirin possess a sophisticated
culture and a highly centralized, theocratic government. Their serpentine
appearance causes strong reactions among outsiders, so the Manta-kin are
justifiably wary of any strangers. The priesthood often cultivates secret spy
networks among potential foes, seeking to play enemies against each other.
When travelling outside their hives, the Manta-kine are armed with a
hardwood staff that has a double-pronged tip. The longer barbed prong is used
to hook or trip an opponent, while the shorter tip is fitted with a nasty
stinging bulb. (Treat the weapon as a hooked Glaive that inflicts a single
charge of 3d6 STUN Drain when it causes BODY damage.) For extra protection,
woven leather armor (2 DEF) is often worn under the robes.

These wonderful little mechanical devices were created by
the College of Animation to perform various services for their
owner, such as scouting and spying. They have a set of tiny
switches on their back that are used to activate and program
the device, although this requires special skills to perform.
Once activated, they will loyally follow the orders of their
owner even at the risk of their own life. They have a strange,
rasping language that only their owner seems to be able to
understand. Mechanical birds are made from special metal alloys
that are resistant to corrosion and they will operate well in
almost all conditions except intense cold.
Mechanical birds are exceedingly rare and very difficult and
expensive to create. Only a true master of animation, working
in concert with an expert mechanic, inventor, and smithy, can
build such a device.

This metallic construct, built by the most arcane magic of the Animation
Wizards, is a peculiar combination of mechanical parts and magical powers. The
body consists of segmented metallic chambers, usually made from iron or
copper, joined by heavy ball-hinges. Several metal limbs are attached to the
body, each with a specialized tool at the tip. A Mekanoid is given only the
minimal intelligence required to perform its assigned task.
The magical power imbued in the device allows the Mekanoid to repair
itself, provided it retains sufficient END to continue functioning. The senses
of the Mekanoid are formed from mounted crystals, each enchanted by its
creator for a different purpose. When the Mekanoid runs out of END, the large
screw on its back must be wound up before it can function again.
The following values are for a typical Mekanoid, but will vary considerably
from device to device.

The Bull is a large and powerful herd animal with large, curved horns and a
brown or black coat. They have an aggressive personality, expressed by
snorting and stomping motions, followed by a charge with their horns. Mature
Bulls will often be accompanied by one or more female cows which they will
protect against predators and other Bulls. The Minos Bull is a sacred member
of the species that carries all of the regular bovine traits, but is also
capable of breathing fire.
