Low Threat

Stats & Hit Points

Floofs are typically armed & armored. They will only ever attempt stealth attacks against opponents. Their fast speed & high Presence stat allow them to get into position quickly on the battlefield. They don’t set traps, but they easily avoid them.

Bonuses In Combat

(stats & skills combined)

Special

• Can travel through tiles occupied by other creatures.
• Cannot be intercepted while moving.

Description & Habits

A Floof Powder looks like it is completely made of dust. When they move, they shrink down into a low rolling pile. Their gear is mixed into the pile as it rolls along. They will reform to make attacks or to defend themselves from attacks.

It is unknown if they eat, sleep, or have any habits. They are assumed to be a magical construct. They are sometimes found fighting along side Tweggies and Cup O’ Flowers.

Low Threat

Stats & Hit Points

These slow moving abominations can attack/defend using natural weapons that are simultaneously treated as 2h-melee & “Unarmed”. Using “2H-Unarmed” for the skill for the rolls. The most common tactic for a Cup O’ Flower is to attack with 2-Handed Melee from outside the reach of it’s target.

Special

• +1 tile extended reach for unarmed attacks.
• Extremely low food requirement.

Description & Habits

It’s a giant flower growing out of a pot that is shaped like a cup. It coils it’s body to hop itself forward for movement. Cup O’ Flowers are noisy & often quite smelly. This makes them terrible at sneaking up on groups of people, even while they’re sleeping. Cup O’ Flowers are also hilariously slow. This makes them easy to defeat by just staying out of their reach.

The food they are after is anything rotting or rotten. They don’t hunt, but they do scavenge any dead carcasses or rotting food they find. They add the nutrient to their plant pots & let it decompose. The rest of their energy inputs are from photosynthesis. So they are usually found either scooping dead stuff into their pots, or just standing around in open areas of forests soaking up sunlight.

They are assumed to be a magical construct. They are sometimes found fighting along side Tweggies and Floof Powders.

Very High Threat

Stats & Hit Points

Land Drakes can use traditional unarmed strikes with their claws as dual weapons. However, they have a preference to just use their grapple attack as their main attack as a single unarmed strike (using 1d20 for the ability instead of 2d20 to just deal damage). They also have a preference for stealth attacks instead of fighting for their meals head on, often breaking from engagements gone wrong to later circle back from a more advantageous position.

(stats & skills combined)

Special

• Tier: 8 Natural Armor
• Ability: “Grappling Bite”¹: Contested Unarmed attack with grapple & stun effects that can drag target with Move: 6.

Description & Habits

Adult Land Drakes are stealthy & solitary creatures. They stalk around a territory of 10 or more “zones” (10+ square miles). This is primarily because they consume so much more food as adults & need to reserve whole zones with easy hunting to survive winters.

Note: Apex predators like the Adult Land Drake rotate several zones. They will hunt using their Presence bonus. Each zone takes 1 year to regenerate their hunting target number by 1. This means they can hunt each zone once per month on a cycle permanently if there is no competition & they control enough zones. They can also hunt the small animals by rolling against the trapping target number. The small animals regenerate their numbers once per month. If the target numbers for a zone becomes too great, they will expand out to another zone with lower target numbers along it’s boarders. If it discovers anything in it’s territory that it perceives can disturb their territory by effecting those target numbers, they will defend those zones by removing the threat.

It is also common for small groups of Young Land Drakes to have one drag off their target while the others distract or defend.

Description & Habits

Young Land Drakes spend their early years banded together with their clutch. Generally there are 2-3 per group, but as many as 5 or 6 has been rumored. Their territory usually spans 10 or more “zones” (10+ square miles) for any group. Once they become adults, they separate due to resource competition (food). This is primarily because they consume so much more food as adults & need to reserve whole zones with easy hunting to survive winters. Each Adult Land Drake will control a territory about the same size as a whole group of Young Land Drakes.

Some jerk armed & armored a Tweggy. Then trained it in an arena or something. Danger!

Juvenile Tweggies hunt in packs. They behave more like a gang of misfits than a monster race. They will only flee if their whole group can get away safely, or if they are the last one fighting. They primarily practice ambush techniques when engaging. With Several springing out from hiding spots once one of them is spotted from failing a Stealth check. They will avoid attacking groups unless the Tweggies greatly outnumber them.

Moderate Threat

Stats & Hit Points

They do not assess threats before striking, but they will flee if their HP is reduced below 1/2 of it’s normal total HP. They do not need to attack or defend themselves in a traditional way. They simply occupy the same tile as their target & stun them endlessly while they slowly absorb the life out of them. Unless the Yellow Slime’s target has allies, can climb nearby terrain in time, or have immunity to the bolt spell — their fate is sealed.

• When occupying the same tile as any target: applies HP Drain – 1HP per round.²

Description & Habits

The Baby Yellow Slime is the weakest variant in the Yellow Slime family. It has a shape of a gumdrop candy. It is semitranslucent & similar in appearance to lemon-flavored gelatin.

All Yellow Slime creatures are solitary. They are instinctual in nature. They simply roam around, looking for food. They will hunt anything that moves, regardless it’s size. Bunnies, deer, buffalo, even drakes might be their next food source. Once an area becomes hard to hunt, they move on to the next zone. Since they get no bonus to hunting, that is usually once the zone has reached 21 for the hunting target number.

As Yellow Slime creatures age, they grow in size. The process is slow. But eventually they can get nearly 12 feet across at their base (4×4 tiles), & similar in height. Unlike other creatures, a Yellow Slime can occupy the same tile as their target regardless of their size. Sometimes suffocating them accidentally as they feed on their life essence.
