quillrats

Oversized vermin with defensive projectile spines. Their serrated quills are hard to remove, releasing an aromatic toxin that smells like raw meat. While not life threatening itself, the powerful smell attracts nearby predators that scare away or devour the quillrats' original attackers.

abilities

Quill Barrage

On a 6+ Hit, the target is stuck with 1 quill for every 1 Dread inflicted. At the start of each round, affected targets make a Wandering Intruder Check with a chance equal to how many quills are stuck in them (e.g. 4 quills is a 4-in-6 chance). They may use an Action to remove 1d4+1 quills.

vulnerabilities

Quillrats love raw meat and swarm to devour it.
