[New Monster] Raboon

Raboon

The trio looked down from the rafters as a half dozen of the tall monsters scavenged through the main floor of the ruined building then went outside.

‘What are those?’ Krogi asked.

Arakam shrugged and shivered in horror at the thought of fighting those things.

‘I heard of such things, once, long ago. Three broke free on a small galley,’ Thoz answered.

‘What happened?’ the wizard asked.

‘The small ship eventually was retrieved on a beach, wrecked; no survivors,’ the thief told Arakam as they all three shivered.

A puzzled grunt behind them made the trio all turn as the creature howled at the others.

Another magical experiment gone awry and having escaped, the raboon is a menacing combination of giant rat and baboon; smart, mean and relentless. Tall as a human with a ratlike face complete with sharp teeth, these monsters also have long, sharp claws and a prehensile tail. Best avoided at all costs.
