These I made for an artic campaign of mine based on the legend of a massive french land dragon that lived within and on the banks of the largest rivers. These stats can be used for any peluda, but non-artic ones need a bit of a color change. I think I may have overlooked a few things here and there, so if I did just let me know. -=-=-=-=-=- Arctic Peluda Arctic peludas are an animalistic type of land dragons suited for life around large rivers and deep snows. They are vaguely dragonish but appears far more felinoid than its scaled cousins and lacks wings. Its bulky back is covered in long, glistening quills much like that of a porcupine, but all about the rest of its body is short, extraordinarily thick snow-white fur growing from coal-black skin. Sometimes this fur will gain a bright greenish tint from algae growing within the strands. This fur is completely water-proof. Its legs are thick and seem stubby for its size, with blunt, toes with thick webbing between each. The toes all end in sharp, grasping talons suitable for climbing as well as raking. The face is not quite as long and snouty as a dragon's, and covered with fine white fur. As a peluda grows older it forms a mane and the fur about its mouth and nose become long and beardlike. Long, stiff whiskers sprout beneath its nose and above its eyes. The pointed ears are small for its size, with tufts on the tips. Its glistening, predatory eyes are large, slitted and of a reddish pink hue. Its mouth opens wide, almost unhinged, with a classic collection of teeth for ripping flesh and flat ones in the back for crushing bone. Its tail is long and fragile-looking with faint, tiny quills on top mixing in with white fur. Peludas lay large, rubbery eggs but feed their young milk for the two weeks it takes for their teeth to grow in. -=-=-=-=-=-=- Artic Peluda, hatchling Tiny Dragon Hit Dice: 2d12+4 (17 hp) Initiative: +3 Speed: 20 ft.

Combat: Full-grown peluda's, though not sentient, have an animalistic cunning that surpasses that of most animals. They prefer to lie in wait, often within water, and if the prey is large they will leap at it, clawing and biting and thrashing with its strong but fragile tail in a frenzy.
