Not particularly strong, just that we didn't go with the "age categories" for the xaren. Just felt like keeping them a little different. Xorn advancement is ok, though.

The Questing Beast
A powerful sorceress created the Questing Beast in vengeance for the destruction of her lover, a giant who was preying upon Pellinore’s lands. The Questing Beast is a four-footed reptile resembling a camel without the humps, and having a long, serpentine tail ending in a nasty spiked ball. It wanders across Pellinore’s lands wreaking havoc and destruction. Because Pellinore’s men used a pack of hounds to track down the giant, the beasts’ favorite prey are dogs, which it swallows whole and which sometimes remain alive in the beasts’ stomach for years.

Although anybody brave enough to face the horrid creature might be lucky enough to drive it off, only Sir Pellinore or one of his descendants can kill it.

Special Att/Def: The questing beast can only be killed by Pellinore, Percivale, Lamerok, Agglovale, Durnarde, Tor, Elayne, Galahad or someone else descended from Pellinore. Once per day, it breathes a cloud of poison gas which does 5d8 damage. Those who save versus poison will suffer half damage.

Originally appeared in Legends and Lore (1990).
