The Snoligoster, the reptilian beast that feeds on the shadows of its victims.
↳ Padruig's PbP game - Coronapocalypse Now.Failure means the gumberoo explodes, inflicting 4d6 points of damage to creatures in a 10-foot radius. If the gumberoo’s saving throw die roll equals 18-20, the attack rebounds to inflict normal damage to the attacker.įire Vulnerability: Any time a gumberoo is attacked with fire from any source, it must make a saving throw. A gumberoo is permitted a saving throw against these attacks. HD 4+1 AC 2 (17) Atks 2 claws (1d4), 1 bite (1d6+1) SV 13 Special elastic hide, fire vulnerability MV 9 AL C CL/XP 5/240Įlastic Hide: Any attack from a physical source, such as a sword or an arrow or a claw, may bounce off the gumberoo’s elastic hide without inflicting any damage. “Its elastic hide hurls back with equal ease the charging elk and the wrathy hornet.” Fire, however, proves to be a particular effective weapon against a gumberoo, but care must be taken, for these beasts tend to explode when burned.
Its skin is “smooth, tough, and shiny and bears not even a wrinkle.” In fact, a gumberoo’s hide has amazing elastic properties. “A whole horse may be eaten at one sitting, distending the gumberoo out of all proportions, but failing to appease its hunger or cause it the slightest discomfort.” A gumberoo resembles a coal-black, almost hairless bear. Fortunately, gumberoos seem to be rare, but this might because this beast prefers “to remain in hiding most of the time in the base of enormous, burned-out cedar trees, from where it sallies forth occasionally on frightful marauding expeditions.” A gumberoo is always hungry and attempts to devour anything that appears to be food. The gumberoo ( Megalogaster repercussus) lives in foggy regions, especially near wooded ocean coasts in northern climes.
