ryzophant

Ethereal, freshwater bottom dwellers with wide batoid fins and gaunt prehensile gripping arms. Bearing long translucent fangs, these ancient predators produce a unique spectral venom that turns their prey ethereal as well. It is unknown whether ryzophants are ghostly spirits, or if they merely inhabit the space between both worlds.

Names: Bottomspecter, Riverghast, Shallowhook, Darklecatch

abilities

Death Grip

May make a Death Grip Attack. On a 9+ Hit, the target becomes ENTANGLED.

Spectral Bite

May make a Spectral Bite Attack. On a 9+ Hit, the target must make a Mettle Check or become an ehtereal ghost, incapable of interacting with the physical world except for the ryzophant for 1d4 rounds. Ryzophants inflict double Dread to ghostly targets.

vulnerabilities

Ryzophants can't leave their fresh water abodes as they are extremely averse to salt. Fishermen often carry a sack of salt to shake over the water where they believe a ryzophant might reside.

combat

Ryzophants grab their prey and pull them into the water, where not only gaping jaws await, but the threat of drowning. Once they turn a target ethereal, and their fangs become more potent, they focus all attention on that victim.
