Monday Monster: Gorvult

Compatible with Dragonbane RPG.

Description: A large, black, hairy beast that glides seamlessly between the trees and lands on prey from above. It is the terror of the night in deep forest/jungle areas.

Ferocity: 2             Size: Large
Movement: 12 (Flying) Armor: 2 (Natural)            HP: 36

Has wings, can fly. When flying at night is treated as having 14 Sneaking.

Gorvult Attacks:

D6 Attacks:

1: Big, Big Bite: Inflicts 2d8 piercing damage on one target within 2 meters.

2: Big, Big Crunch: The Gorvult leaps high into the air and comes down with all of its weight on one target inflicting 2d6 bludgeoning damage and knocking the opponent prone on their turn.

3: How Good Is Your Armor? The Gorvult makes excited noises and jumps up and down on one target within 4 meters 1d6 times inflicting 1d6 bludgeoning damage each time. Each bounce counts as a separate attack when parrying. A successful EVADE avoids the attack entirely. One successful bounce leaves the character prone on the start of their turn.

4: Big Wallop! The Gorvult swings both fists together striking up to 2 adjacent characters within 2 meters for 1d8 bludgeoning damage each. Characters struck by the attack are knocked prone until the start of their turn.

5: Thump Thump: Gorvult grabs one character within 2 meters by the ankle and slamming them against the ground 1d4 times for 1d6 bludgeoning damage each time. Armor bonuses do not apply. After the first slam, the character can make a free attempt to wriggle out of the creature’s grasp with an opposed STR roll. (Gorvult has a 16 for purposes of this check.) Characters hit with this attack also suffer the Dazed condition.

6: Snatch and Drop: Gorvult grabs one character within 2 meters with its talons and soars skyward 45 meters before dropping them. Standard falling damage applies.

This was a pretty mixed bag of a day... Well, Mondays can be like that. Fittingly used #SillyCuratorPrompts #MondayMonster for my daily drawing.

Didn't even have the decency to not come out kinda cute 🙄 but at least I f...ailed at the foot, so there's that.

#sketchDaily

A slightly odd, and very bouncy, #MondayMonster

It's been a long day.

#SillyCuratorPrompts #silly #animation #chomp

The theme for today's sh*t art is 'I want colours!' and 'let's try speed drawing'.

Also - sometimes you just _have_ to draw a dragon knitting a shirt. I mean, knitting and dragons are just there. (Does this one qualify as a #MondayMonster?)

A Bugganes tended to live in old ruins, forests or waterfalls, where it would remain unless disturbed somehow…”
