New Oe/1e/BX Monster: Ratatoskr


DESCRIPTION
Ratatoskr are vicious rodents with a single horn protruding from the forehead. They’re stealthy, surprising on a 1-3 (on 1d6). Furthermore, when attacking from a perched position (usually in trees), they are able to leap up to 20', and strike by plunging their horn into a victim (for 1-4 pts.) On any natural “to hit” roll of 20 while using this leap attack, the horn hits a major artery and does 1-8 pts. damage the first round and continues to do 1-4 pts. every round thereafter. In non-leaping attacks, they bite for 1-2 pts. damage.

  1. Good to see ole drill-tooth is getting stat'd up. I'm quite partial to anything inhabiting the world tree being a vicious (potentially vorpal) version of an ordinary woodland critter.
