The beast is a small swan made up of warped flesh. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Northern Road.

Additionally, fruit trees and other crops grew wicked thorns.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found blighted by a cloud of poison.

Callow Zhaibarian Marsh Crocodile

Muscle: *

Toughness: ****

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a medium crocodile made up of fungus. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Estovokian Road. The creature started its attacks by slaying the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found without any skin. The few survivors of the attacks remembered their mirrors shattered in the days before the attacks. Additionally, Storm clouds with odd colors settled over head. However no rain came down at all.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found splashed with a half gallon of poison.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Poison Bolt power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it faked its death and then returned to the fight on the next day. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to Acid, a strange but immense fear of spheres, and a rather impressive level of stupidity.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a medium elephant made up of living ice. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Western Road. The creature started its attacks by preying upon broken down and depressed people. Many of the dead were found bloated and in shallow graves. The few survivors of the attacks remembered fiddle strings broke and drums became infested with insects. One man's trombone rusted straight through..

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found crumpled up in agony from multiple venom injections.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with many broken bones and contusions. One hunter's corpse was deeply embedded in a splintered tree.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found wrapped up in foul and sticky webs.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Injecting Proboscis, Monstrous Bash, and Web Spray power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted a range of previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could benefit from an improbably series of lucky events. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it seemed barely hurt by their pointy swords and arrows and it immediately fled once it realized it was in danger. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an immense antipathy to WarMaterialVariants, an obsessive mind that forced it to count and calculate small objects, and a rather dull and stupid mind.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a elk made out of glowing gems and silver wire, this medium sized beast is a large danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Imperial Road. The creature started its attacks by slaying broken down and depressed people. Many of the dead were found without any shin bones. The few survivors of the attacks remembered apples and pears rotted over night into piles of putrid sludge. Additionally, the town well went bad and gave off a terribly foul stench.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found dead of seeming exhaustion. Their muscles were tense and their eyes were bloodshot.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Dream Marathon power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could nearly naked and bereft of any weapons. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it could befog the minds and memory of its attackers. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a soft underbelly that was easily wounded, an inability to see creatures that are perfectly still and motionless, and a severe vulnerability to Poison.

The beast is a medium worm made up of living ice. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Estovokian Road. The creature started its attacks by slaying the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found torn and twisted together into horrific flesh-castles. The few survivors of the attacks remembered there were wall-shaking croaking sounds during the nights. Additionally, the town well went bad and gave off a terribly foul stench.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found turned into a perfect ice statue.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found splayed out on the ground in a rictus of pure pain. Their wounds were minor; it appears the heart gave out.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Ice Now and Agonizing Gaze power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could nearly naked and bereft of any weapons. In the end, the creature was defeated.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found dessicated and sere with all the liquid drained from their body.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Dehydrating Breath power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a large scorpion made up of living shadow. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Southern Road. The creature started its attacks by slaying the women. Many of the dead were found with organs torn out and buried nearby. The few survivors of the attacks remembered there was a series of unlucky and unexplained fires. Several houses burned down and a patch of woods went up in flames. Additionally, Flies were particularly bold and numerous before the attacks.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found laying in a rough semi-circle on the ground. Several of them seem to have died from one blow.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Fury X power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an immense antipathy to WarMaterialVariants, a vile skin that it wore in order to exist and function in our world, and an immense vulnerability to WarMaterialVariants.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Ortega in 690, the creature is a cube made out of ectoplasm. It is of a medium size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Valdelosa. The creature started its attacks by slaying their pigs. Many of the dead were found without any shin bones. The few survivors of the attacks remembered birds flocked to the area and say in rows along tree branches and roofs.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their bodies red and swollen. On further examination their hearts were found to be cut to ribbons even though the surrounding flesh was uninjured.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Heart Bleed Bite power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were an immense antipathy to WarMaterialVariants, a rather impressive level of stupidity, and a strange but immense fear of spheres.

The beast looks like a medium cube made up of warped flesh. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Zhaibarian Road. The creature started its attacks by hunting down the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found with their faces perfectly smooth.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found gruesomely shredded by hundreds of small bird bites.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Control Crows power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a large hound made up of flowing glass. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Leagui. The creature started its attacks by assaulting their cattle. Many of the dead were found with their heads ripped off and the rest of them not looking too good either. The few survivors of the attacks remembered good glass windows and porcelain plates cracked for no reason. One family woke up and found their whole plate collection cracked in half. Additionally, fiddle strings broke and drums became infested with insects. One man's trombone rusted straight through..

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found gored to death by a giant tusk and with many broken bones.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Mono Horn power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a weakness for beautiful music, a rather impressive level of stupidity, and an insatiable thirst for blood that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety.

Frame: Bull
Size: Small Sized: -2 attack, +2 def, -5 HealthMax
Health: Solid: This creature is tougher than it looks, and more resistant to harm than a natural beast. +5 Health.
Reflex: Lightning reflexes: This creature's movements are unnaturally precise and fast, and are difficult to follow with the eye. It is able to tear through any single human without magical aid. Those with magical aid could last for several passes. +11 init, +10 atk/def
Strength: Normal Strength: This creature has no unnatural strength advantage, outside of those provided by its shape and aspect.
Ability: Renfielder: The creature can claim the mind of a human being. The process takes 1-3 days, and leaves the unfortunate soul a willing and obedient (if somewhat scatterbrained and insane) tool of the creature. The creature can communicate telepathically with its Renfield, even over a distance of miles, and the Renfield will obey without hesitation. A creature will never have more than 3 Renfields at a time, as it appears to take an investment of power to maintain the connection. Renfields have poor combat stats, and are most useful for mis-directions, distractions, and other oblique tactics.
Attack: Mind Fog: The creature exudes a thick mist that clouds the mind. So long as you are in the mist and breathing it/have significant skin contact with it, must make an easy Will Save at start of round or forget what you are doing for the round. If the creature is moving quickly, the mist will not be able to gather and pool enough to have an effect. If the creature stays in an area for 3 rounds, the mist will build up and extend to Short range around the creature. Staying in an area of 5 minutes or longer will extend the mist to Medium range, while a full day is required for Long range. The mist impairs sight and will cause a -1 to -5 penalty for ranged attacks/senses depending on how far through the mist you are peering.
Defense: Cowardly: In combat, flee if things seem remotely dangerous.
Defense: Spell Immunity 1: Half damage from spells, +5 to saving throw and immediate saving throw.
Weakness: Spheresome Aura: For esoteric magical reasons, the form of the Sphere is baneful to this creature. The creature is deathly afraid of spheres, and can be warded off, terrified, and "burned" by them. Note the sphere does not have to be perfect, but a lop-sided oval simply will not be effective. The Creature takes a -1 to -10 penalty based on the visual impressiveness of the sphere and how close it is to the beast.
Weakness: Music Appreciator: The creature can be hypnotized by the sound of beautiful and intricate music. The creature becomes lost in the notes, and inattentive to combat and threats to its life. Combat penalties range from -1 to -10, depending on the quality of the music. If the creature is not actively in combat, it can also be lulled into complete inaction by music. Wind instruments and stringed instruments are best for this, but even drums can have some effect.
Appearance: Limned with a glow of black power
NumAppearing: Solitary

Royal Eastern Octoelatin

Skill: **

Muscle: *

Toughness: *******

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a huge octopod made up of caustic ooze. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Eastern Road. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found with their feet missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered fiddle strings broke and drums became infested with insects. One man's trombone rusted straight through..

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found covered in dozens of small bloody bite marks.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Multiple Mouths power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it was so damnably fast and difficult to hit. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were an immense vulnerability to WarMaterialVariants, a rather dull and stupid mind, and a severe vulnerability to Gold.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a medium sized creature, made up of warped flesh in the shape of a bull. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Estovokian Road. The creature started its attacks by hunting down babies. Many of the dead were found with jagged wounds in their forehead and important pieces of brain missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered there were blood curdling howls and screeches during the nights. Additionally, frogs came out of the creeks and onto the land. In croaking swarms they hopped along roads and fields.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found having torn their own ears and eyes out.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found dead and in obvious pain from a dozen poisons.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found bound up in thick and dusty spider webs. Several vultures and small animals seem to have wandered into the webs later and were dead of dehydration after not being able to free themselves.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Gibbering Mouths, Poison Kick, and Web Spray power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could hide itself in an aura of mist and fog. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it badly shocked one of the WitchHammers through his mace, it hid within cloud of distracting and masking butterflies, and it carried a murderous swarm of bees within its body. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an overly fragile sense of smell that could cause it pain from strong odors, a hatred of its own image that makes it destroy mirrors before all else, and a severe vulnerability to Acid.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a huge hippo made up of warped flesh. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Southern Road. The creature started its attacks by hunting down a club of crochety old men. Many of the dead were found with strange worms crawling inside them. The few survivors of the attacks remembered their cattle went mad and began braining them selves against trees and writhing in agonized heaps on the ground. Additionally, fruit trees and other crops grew wicked thorns.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found still alive although without any mind or volition left. They wasted away and died several weeks later despite the best efforts of the rescuers.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Soul Eat power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could explode on death into a pool of baneful acid and smell its hunters from incredibly long distances. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it could somehow sense whenever something threatened its life. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a need to return to the soil of its lair every half-day and a hatred of its own image that makes it destroy mirrors before all else.

The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with the top layer of their face and body frozen through. They died with a uniform look of surprise on their face.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found still alive although without any mind or volition left. They wasted away and died several weeks later despite the best efforts of the rescuers.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Heart Bleed Breath, Cold Snap, and Soul Eat power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could see its hunters even in the dimmest of light and reason and think much more cleverly than a common beast. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it was surrounded by an aura of shadow and darkness that made it difficult to see, it stubbornly refused to be killed by normal weapons, and it had an insidious aura that clouded and befuddled the minds of its attackers. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an insatiable hunger for meat that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety and a strange but immense fear of spheres.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a small elephant made up of ectoplasm. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Southern Road. The creature started its attacks by preying upon those who were asleep. Many of the dead were found with their hands and wrists missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered showers of falling stars were seen in the hours just before dawn.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with blackened and rotting wounds.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Blighted Bite power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it twisted light around itself to hide all but its eyes and mouth and it could summon gale-force winds to protect itself from attackers. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were an inability to taste or sense poison and an inability to see creatures that are perfectly still and motionless.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a medium sized creature, made up of ectoplasm in the shape of a rat. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Estovokian Road. The creature started its attacks by hunting down babies. Many of the dead were found torn to pieces and scattered. The few survivors of the attacks remembered good glass windows and porcelain plates cracked for no reason. One family woke up and found their whole plate collection cracked in half.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found gruesomely shredded by hundreds of small bird bites.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Control Crows power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it employed some strange magic that shattered their weapons whenever they touched its body and it was surrounded by constant whipping winds. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an insatiable thirst for blood that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety, an inability to taste or sense poison, and a love of flattery and compliments that makes it forget all else.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a medium iguana made up of flowing glass. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Tayport. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering several people who had taken sick. Many of the dead were found torn to pieces and scattered. The few survivors of the attacks remembered metal plows and other implments rusted and became unusable. Additionally, seeing strange wisps of light floating in the forests at night.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with several dozen different causes of death. Blood had dried around their teeth and eyes while their skin and internal organs had been turned to pulp.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found gored to death by small horns.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Malevolent Vibration and Bull Horns power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could thicken the very air so that its foes were unable to move or escape, see in all directions using its many eyes, and hide itself in an aura of mist and fog. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it twisted light around itself to hide all but its eyes and mouth. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a soft underbelly that was easily wounded, a rather impressive level of stupidity, and a severe vulnerability to Urine.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their throats cleanly slit and expressions of peace on their faces. They did not seem to have realized they were dead even at the end.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found torn apart by scores of small animals and insects. The vermin infested every part of the corpses from the mouth to the intestines.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Mind Fog and Vermin Gaze power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could gain increased power during Twilight and land devastating and fatal blows with regularity. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an insatiable hunger for meat that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety, a severe vulnerability to the sun, and a rather impressive level of stupidity.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a small lion made up of bone. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Invermoriston. The creature started its attacks by hunting down a club of crochety old men. Many of the dead were found with their teeth missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered toads rained from the sky before its predations.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with only their heads sticking out of the ground. After further digging several of the hunting party were found entirely entombed.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Entomb power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could hear its hunters from incredibly long distances and reason and think at levels far beyond the common cunning of a beast. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it simply shrugged off all mystical attacks and it was completely immune to the pain of its wounds. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to the sun, a severe weakness to flashing or strobing lights, and a severe weakness to light and illumination.

The beast looks like a large wolf made up of animated fire. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Anfeoz. The creature started its attacks by hunting down the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found with their eyes missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered all the wild animals and game in the area disappearing. Additionally, heavy and unseasonal fogs appeared which would not burn off until midday.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found burnt into smears of ash and melted equipment.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Fire Breathe power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could devour corpses to gain some of their power, sense opponents just by their body heat, and could sense the very life essence of the hunting WitchHammers. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it shrugged off the worst of their mystical attacks and it seemed barely hurt by their pointy swords and arrows. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a rather dull and stupid mind and a severe weakness to flashing or strobing lights.

The beast is a huge rat made up of mummified flesh. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Cillero. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering broken down and depressed people. Many of the dead were found hung on tree branches and half eaten. The few survivors of the attacks remembered Fat Maggots were particularly bold and numerous before the attacks.

The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found chewed to death by thousands and thousands of tiny bites and stings.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found crumpled up in agony from multiple venom injections.

Ability: Soundless world aura: There is no sound when within short range of the creature. Eerie. +3 creature attack as this throws off the normal cues a person would use to defend. Also interferes with attempts to coordinate while fighting the creature. (optional, up to GM) As a meta-game effect, players who's PCs who are inside the aura can't talk with other players. They can gesticulate wildly, write notes, but not communicate about battle.
Ability: Vermin form: Can transform into a swarm of Roaches. Will typically use this ability to escape serious danger, or to move itself into an advantageous position. The transformation into Roaches is immediate and allows movement on the same round. Reforming back into the normal creature takes 3 rounds as the Roaches gather together and swirl. Damage done to the swarm will transfer to the creature when it reforms, though it is difficult to fully kill the creature without killing all of the Roaches.

Weakness: Blood thirsty: Cannot resist the smell and taste of blood. Will continue to pursue and target a wounded character until they are dead. Once it has a source of blood, will continue drinking it until it is empty. To break free before finishing all the blood, must make a hard Will save. Can make one such save per round.
Weakness: Lair Soil: Needs to build lair and return to it once every 12 hours. Building a lair takes 12 hours. For every 4 hours over, takes -1 penalty and 1 health damage.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a huge octopod made up of living shadow. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Arbroath. The creature started its attacks by hunting down the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found with their necks brutally broken. The few survivors of the attacks remembered they found odd geometric inscribed in dense patterns along walls and stones. Additionally, the nearby creeks froze overnight and did not thaw out for days.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found crushed to pulp by some gigantic constricting appendage.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found withered and aged beyond all recognition. Their shields and other armor was rusted as though it had been left out in the elements for months or years.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found bitten and pecked to death by small animals.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Snake Legs, Entropic Breath, and Dominate Minor Animal power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could move across the ground without ever touching it as though carried on a river of air. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to Wolf Urine and an immense antipathy to WarMaterialVariants.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a large sized creature, made up of fungus in the shape of a crab. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Western Road. The creature started its attacks by slaying those who were asleep. Many of the dead were found impaled on tree branches and half eaten. The few survivors of the attacks remembered a fearful pillar of darkness that was seen in the distance. The pillar faded a few minutes after midday.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found bound up in thick and dusty spider webs. Several vultures and small animals seem to have wandered into the webs later and were dead of dehydration after not being able to free themselves.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found lacerated with dozens of deep and bloody cuts. Their armor lay in shreds around them.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Web Spray and Shredding Bite power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could see in all directions using its many eyes and reason and think at levels far beyond the common cunning of a beast. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it seemed barely hurt by their maces and hammers and its skin proved to be fatally poisonous. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an inability to see creatures that are perfectly still and motionless and a severe vulnerability to Cow Urine.

The transformation into Small Snakes is immediate and allows movement on the same round. Reforming back into the normal creature takes 3 rounds as the Small Snakes gather together and swirl. Damage done to the swarm will transfer to the creature when it reforms, though it is difficult to fully kill the creature without killing all of the Small Snakes.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a rat made out of bone, this huge sized beast is a large danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Eastern Road. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering everyone but virgins. Many of the dead were found with their their bodies clawed apart into fine slices. The few survivors of the attacks remembered frogs came out of the creeks and onto the land. In croaking swarms they hopped along roads and fields. Additionally, Rats were particularly bold and numerous before the attacks.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found withered and aged beyond all recognition. Their shields and other armor was rusted as though it had been left out in the elements for months or years.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found curled up on the ground with expressions of utmost despair on their faces and bloody wounds across their bodies.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Entropic Gaze and Choking Aura power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could transform into swarms of Small Snakes to escape danger. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it was guarded by a swarm of Flies and it seemed barely hurt by their pointy swords and arrows. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a love of flattery and compliments that makes it forget all else, a vile skin that it wore in order to exist and function in our world, and a hatred of its own image that makes it destroy mirrors before all else.

Crabby Penguin

Muscle: *****

Toughness: **********

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a huge penguin made up of mummified flesh. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Imperial Road. The creature started its attacks by preying upon their cattle. Many of the dead were found shriveled and dry with much of their hair missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered children wasted away and often died.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found sliced and cut into dozens of pieces. Hands and limbs littered the battlefield.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found splayed out on the ground in a rictus of pure pain. Their wounds were minor; it appears the heart gave out.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Giant Crab claws and Agonizing Gaze power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could reason and think much more cleverly than a common beast and strike and maul with terrifying speed. The beast was even more difficult to kill as its limbs refused to stop fighting even after being severed, it could somehow sense whenever something threatened its life, and it was completely immune to the pain of its wounds. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a love of flattery and compliments that makes it forget all else, an inability to see creatures that are perfectly still and motionless, and an insatiable thirst for blood that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety.

Shaped like a octopod made out of fungus, this medium sized beast is a great danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Estovokian Road. The creature started its attacks by preying upon everyone but farmers. Many of the dead were found torn to pieces and with all their valuables gone. The few survivors of the attacks remembered weird runes and signs were found written in spider's webs.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with a face and chest that looked like raw steak. The skin and muscle had been dissolved in uneven chunks.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with violent bite marks on their face and shoulders.
