42 - Matanagar!

The party encounters a fungus ogre, a Matanagar. These powerful creatures are typical of the Sun- Kissed Vale in the central An-Mor continent, and are extremely rare here in Kardalok. Matanagar, level 6 boss, 6 Life, 2 attacks, morale +1. Every time the Matanagar takes damage from a non- magical source, roll a die. On a 6, the Matanagar ignores the wound. If a character rolls a 1 on a Defense roll against a Matanagar and the character has a shield, the creature has grabbed the shield and destroyed it (the character whose shield was destroyed takes no damage that turn). If a shieldless character rolls a 1 on a Defense roll, the fungus squeezes him for 2 Life points of damage. Reactions: 1 ignore the party, 2-3 fights, 4-6 fights to the death. Treasure: the Matanagar carries 2d6 gold pieces and has a 1 in 6 chance of having one of Davanzu’s ring, but you may roll for this ONLY after you kill the monster. You do not have a chance to find the ring if the Matanagar flees or ignores the party.
