Xylericag- Wants to Eat Your Children

No. Enc.: 1d4
Alignment: Neutral (Inimical)
Move: 120'(40’)
Armor Class: 5
Hit Dice: 8
Attacks: 2
Damage: 1d8 bite, claws 1d6 each
Morale: 8

Theses vermin were originally found on the red planet Mars but have since been moved to other worlds where they become part of the landscape. These monstersities are capable of ripping a man in half with little problem. Standing 25 foot tall these monsters have been imported to a variety of worlds where they are used in gladiator sports, guard duties, & local pest removal.
Xylericag is very hard to kill & only takes 1/2 damage from most energy weapons. Hit with many of the most common types the monster is likely to fly into a rage & is capable of  moving twice the normal movement rate. These creatures are very sensitive to sound & thought, they hunt through a combination of low level psionics & acute hearing. They have very keen senses capable of picking up a man or blood at a 1000 yards.
They have a vicious bite but will attack with four claws most of the time. The bite is for 1d8 points of damage.
The Xylericag remains a problem to many space travelers & continues to be encountered from time to time. There several of these monsters have been used in biological terror plots causing mass confusion & destruction.

  1. Cool. Hey, does this creature have a Gygaxian style anagramic or partial anagramic name?
