 SPECIAL ABILITIES

Surprise: Korleth gain a +10 hide bonus when hiding in icy terrain. Korleth are considered scentless, so creatures cannot track them using their scent.

Rend: If a Korleth hits on both attacks on the same target, they inflict an additional 2d8 damage.

Fearsome icy predator. Nine foot tall, four feet wide humanoid turtle shape, short fat legs, with a incredibly tough white chitinous shell. They have huge sharp claws which they use to rip apart other creatures in combat. Have a five foot or longer tail.

They will usually wait just below the surface of the snow, then reach out to grab victims and pummel them, or will jump out to overwhelm their foes with their brute strength.

When they are well fed, they can be docile and playful. Liking to lie on their backs watch the moons and sing long melodious, sweetly voices songs. Due to their hunger, few creatures ever get a chance to see this side of the Korleth.

Combat: Korleth attack creatures weaker themselves whenever they outnumber their opponents or see weakness in other creatures. Their primary attack is using surprise tactics, often bull rushing opponents into icy waters.

Silver Bulette

Most of the time adventurers in my games are in spires or underground dungeons but at mid to lower levels much of the story is getting to the locations, so wandering monsters are a big part of the game. That's where the Silver Bullete comes in, a huge size, hungry creature that can jump teleport. Plus I just love the name of the creature and what it can do...

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Leap (Ex) A silver bulette can perform a special kind of pounce attack by jumping into combat. When a bullette charges, it can make a DC 16 Acrobatics check to jump into the air and land next to its enemies. If it makes the Acrobatics check, it can follow up with four claw attacks against foes in reach, but cannot make a bite attack.

Savage Bite (Ex) A bulette's bite is particularly dangerous. It applies 1-1/2 times its Strength modifier to damage inflicted with its bite attack, and threatens a critical hit on a 18–20.

Silvery Flash: A Silver Bulette can dimensional jump, moving up to 500 feet away in one round. Treat as an improved bull rush if any creatures are in it's path. It can do this 3 times a day. When it moves in this fashion, there is a momentary flash of silver when it enters and exits the astral.

A Silver Bullette is a legend from the Spirelands - a huge creature that burrows just beneath the surface. It normally feeds on creatures that are in it's path, but if hungry it will go out of its way to attack caravans or other large groups. It is peaceful as long as it gets enough to eat, but when it does not, it starts to look for easy targets that are near it to feed on.

Named after its ability to jump or teleport small ranges, with the associated silvery flash.

These creatures are sexless, they spontaneously compost  into three or four smaller versions of themselves that stay together for 8 - 10 months until they grow large enough to survive on their own.
