| General: Acid Beasts are small, cunning creatures that prey primarily on sleeping nocturnal animals. They stand 2 feet high and 3 feet long on four legs. They are a brownish-red in color. They tend to be skinny due to their high metabolisms. Acid Beasts have long snouts with teeth similar to a wild dog, although less pronounced or sharp. Combat: The acidic spittle these creatures possess have a range of 5y/10y/15y and do 1d6 points of acid damage, save vs. paralyzation for half damage. A victim failing his saving throw must roll a save for his belongings as well. Others within five feet of the victim must save versus paralyzation or suffer 1d3 points of splashing damage. When Acid Beasts successfully bite a victim, the victim must save vs. poison or be slowed as if by a slow spell in 1d2 rounds. This effect lasts 1d6+1 rounds. |
Habitat/Society: Acid Beasts in groups larger than three form a pack-like society similar to that of the wolves. There are only two mating couples in the entire pack. These couples produce 1-2 young Acid Beasts after a gestation period of 2 months. Ecology: |
