Okay, here' s my contribution to the encounter's
handbook since guilt has overcome me and I figure I should do something
before its finished. I'm not too experienced making monsters, creatures,
etc. So don't expect perfection. ![]() Turitenn are creatures found on the Islands of the Sea Folk. They live deep in the jungles, only coming out at night to wait in the trees for any likely looking prey to come. Agile and quiet, they strike without warning, leaping down from the trees to attack with their venemous claws, which are as sharp and deadly as a blade. In their claws and saliva is a venom that renders its victim temporarily paralyzed, enabling the Turitenn to feast on their prey unhindered. They are grey, about four and a half feet tall, with sharp fangs and huge yellow eyes that allow them to see well in the dark. They are completely hairless, have small pointed ears, small noses that are little more than two holes to breathe out of, and large mouths with very sharp yellow teeth. Lots of very sharp yellow teeth. They are quite a bit like monkeys in that they are agile in trees, and have strong arms that they can swing on branches from. They walk with an odd kind of shuffle, using a hand or two to aid them so that they kind of lumber like a monkey as well. It is not uncommon to see them on all fours, though they can be completely bipedal as well, though not for a great length of time as they are a bit top heavy in the arms and it tends to unbalance that. They sleep and live in the trees, only coming down for hunting or if they need water. Mostly they get water from the rain that catches in the leaves. Females raise the young themselves, with the help of other females. The males are very agressive, and will harm infants if they are in a bad mood. Therefore the mothers are always very cautious with their young, and avoid the males if possible when they are in foul tempers. They do not have nests, rather they straddle a tree branch when they sleep, as their muscles stiffen and tighten when they slumber as to keep them in place. Very primitive, they do not have fires, weapons, clothes, or any other real forms of civilization. They communicate with each other thru a series of tounge clicks and chatters. Only a fool would travel the jungle at night with such creatures about.... Medium Sized Exotic Hit Die:6d8(38) Initiative:+4(dex) Speed:30ft Defense: 18 Attacks:Claws+8 melee, Bite+6 melee Damage: Claws 1d6+2, Bite, 1D4+2 Face/Reach:5ft by 5ft/5ft Special Attacks: Pounce, Rake 1D6+2, Paralyzing venom Special Qualities: low-light vision Saves: Fort+5,Ref+6, Will+3 Abilities:St12, Dex 18, Con 10, Wis 12 (-4 penalty in daylight ), Int 8, Ch8 Skills: balance +9,climb +9, hide +9,listen +5, move silently+10 (+1 racial bonus) Spot+8 Feats: Weapon Finesse(claw, bite) improved grab, scent Live in groups of 6-12 Nocturnal Paralyzing Venom: If the target fails their fortitude save (DC20) then they are paralyzed. Paralyzation lasts for 1D8 rounds. Well, critique away. Just be nice about it and I should be able to get by without any emotional or mental scars. ![]() Ezre This post has been edited by Ezre Gael Bain Iavas on Oct 24 2004, 07:44 PM -------------------- One man's simple is another man's HUH? |

Ezre, I know you to be a very creative person that
can describe things very well. I would like a more detailed description of
their appearance. Describe it in such away that I can see it. Does it have
hair? If so is it long or short? Does it have a long snout? Does it always
go on two legs or on all fours, or both? See what I mean. I imagine that
you've got a good image in your mind of what it looks like. I would like
to see the same thing through your description. Also it would be interesting if you could mention a little more about their habitat. Do they live in the trees? If so do they have nests? How do they raise their young (mother only, or is the father involved)? I know that might be a little bit more than some people need, but I like to have that kind of info for setting things up. -------------------- Not all that is gold, glitters. Not all who wonder

Yeah, you're right. I got a little lazy that day as I
was in a bit of a hurry, and my motivation level was low. Luckily its up
today, and now you hopefully have the details you were looking for. Thanks
for keeping me on my toes! ![]() Ezre -------------------- One man's simple is another man's HUH? |

You're oh so much more than welcome! Thank you for
giving me the advice! At least SOMEONE gave me some feedback, and now its
better than it was before.... or at least more detailed than it was
before. ![]() Ezre -------------------- One man's simple is another man's HUH? |

Well, I think that is a great addition. Not going to
change the world or anything (which is something I like to avoid because I
like to stay true to RJ's world), but it would certainly add flavor and an
element of danger to a party needed to visit one of these islands, know
what I mean. Do you have this as a file where you originally typed it up? If so could you e-mail me a copy? I'd like to file it away for future use. -------------------- Not all that is gold, glitters. Not all who wonder
