[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 5669318, member: 54707"] I think this a great tactic if the players will agree to it, and will practice it. I think much of this idea and actually already use it. One of the most dangerous monsters I ever developed (which I'll detail more fully later) was a variant Wyvern that had claws with toxin glands that paralysed one when you were scratched, the bite of a Komodo Dragon (which was filled with deadly bacteria which caused all kinds of diseases over time if it didn't kill ya quickly), which hunted in packs and moved extremely quickly like big cats (until maturity when all but one killed and ate all of the others in the pride), and was an extremely vicious, aggressive, and clever predator. And it considered almost anything and everything prey. At maturity it also gained the ability to hypnotize with a stare before attacking, and remained almost as fast on land as in the air. It would also hunt or attack only when it found prey at a disadvantage, and would rake and disembowel prey with its hind legs. It would not fight to the death except to protect its mate or young. But it could track accurately by smell in the air form over fifty miles away and could track on land at over 10 miles away. And it was almost impossible to sneak up on. Very dangeorus creature. So I'm very much in favor of presenting Chimeras (monsters of mixed creatures, and Monster-animal Chimeras. [/QUOTE]
