blynx

These nigh-invisible great cats are some of the most dangerous predators in the Mucklands. Tales tell of murderous mountain ghosts who feed on crag lizards, ettins, and wayward travelers. But in fact, it is the blynx, a solitary, horse-sized cat with teeth and claws like knives. They hunt by the light of the moon, and roam the craggy outcrops of hills and mountain ranges, unseen.

Names: Shadow, Ol' Slinker, Spiritfang, Whispertail

abilities

Invisible Stalker

Attackers can only attack a blynx that has already revealed its location. Even after a blynx reveals itself, all Attacks against it suffer Disadvantage.

Rake

On a Critical Hit, the target suffers BLEEDING.

Vanish and Strike

Once every Combat, when an attacker gets a Hit with a Counterattack against the blynx, the blynx may vanish to avoid the Dread, then reappear to Counterattack.

vulnerabilities

Environmental circumstances that cause their bodies to become visible (mud, snow, rain, dust) make them skittish. If they see themselves, or believe they are clearly seen, they make a Mettle Check, or else flee.

combat

Blynx are highly aggressive. They pounce on the smallest, weakest prey and avoid larger targets if possible. However, they are not afraid to attack a mighty warrior who looks appetizing. Since few blynx have ever been bested in the wild, they tend not to run until they have scored a meal.
