NIGHT TERROR 04-18-04, 04:48 PM	has anyone used this monster for a module or encountered one. I think i spelled it right. Its in the MM 1 and uses sound to destroy objects and its foes. Looks like a blined raptor. The description says it usually doesnt work with other beings but occasionally may be allied with undead. Does this creature speak or use items? The description says its intellignet and may take captives back to its lair. Im thinking of using it in a sewer encounter
Wako 04-18-04, 09:24 PM	They cant speak but can use magic items. In fact, the description says that they are very crafty...
Remnant 04-18-04, 09:29 PM	I like them because they are not on the "A list" monsters- your players probably won't recognize it, unless they are very familiar with the MM, and most players won't be ready to deal with a sonic attack, one of the more rare attack forms.
Ack'noth Necrom 04-18-04, 10:26 PM	I remember using it in an older dugeon magazine adventure i ran. They work pretty well and Remnant is right they are one of the least recognized monsters. One thing you have to watch out for though is overuse of its sonic attacks. You can leave a full party nearly defenseless in a matter of a few rounds. The thing is fairly intelligent too so it'll probably try to gain an advantage in every aspect it can think of. I wouldn't be suprised if it did hit and run tactics to disarm a whole party before closing for the kill.
NIGHT TERROR 04-19-04, 09:17 AM	its listed as a large creature? im thinking its not a hide in shadows creature. I am liking the disarm sonic attack. What undead would team up with it
