owligator

Flying, predatory lizards that dwell in muddy roosts within swamps and lush forests. They have dozens of razor sharp teeth used for gnashing flesh, while their bodies are covered in mottled white and brown feathers. They don't normally attack folk unless their roosts are threatened. Owligators have a strange call that sounds almost like a human scream, which has duped many a helpful traveler into sealing their demise.

Names: Hacksaw, Leaflurker, Little Devil, Squawkbelly

abilities

Iron Jaw

Dread always ignores Block. On a Critical Hit, the target's armor, shield or weapon breaks.

Swoop Attack

Once every 3 rounds, may charge in the air and attack a Close, Nearby, or Faraway target, before flying back to Faraway range. Only ranged weapons can Counterattack a Swoop Attack.

vulnerabilities

Owligators are easily distracted by food, specifically rations like Nork's Noodles, which they quickly snatch up and bring back to their roosts.

combat

Owligators swarm anyone close to their roost, swooping down and biting them like angry magpies (but with more teeth). They are quite relentless and fear nothing when defending their roost. Otherwise, owligators are quick to fly away if they can't get an easy meal.
