[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5969904, member: 57383"] You've got creature catalog monsters to post! You shouldn't have time for writing flavour text!! ;) How's this: [I]The massive pile of gold suddenly stand up on three elephantine legs, revealing itself to be a bizarre creature. Two powerful tentacles whip from its sides, eager to pull victims towards a maw full of crystalline teeth that suddenly gapes in its belly. From atop the conical creature sprouts a stalk which branches into three huge golden eyes.[/I] An aurotyugh is a rare relative of the otyugh with a body of "living metal" instead of ordinary flesh. The touch of an aurotyugh can magically soften almost any material, and they have immensely powerful jaws with teeth that are literally made of diamond. This combination means an aurotyugh can chew through almost anything. Aurotyughs eat any kind of metal or flesh, preferring mineral-rich organic materials like bone. They do not wallow in rotting filth like a normal otyugh, but collect piles of decaying bones and rusting metal. Aurotyughs collect treasure, and their diamond teeth are also valuable - its teeth are the "triple goods (gems)" in the Treasure entry. A typical aurotyugh has a body 8 feet in diameter and stands 6 feet tall, not including its 7 foot long eyestalk or 20 foot long tentacles. It weighs almost 4000 pounds. Aurotyughs speak Terran. [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2] [B]COMBAT[/B] [/SIZE] Aurotyughs disguise themselves as piles of treasure to attract victims, lashing out at surprised adventurers with their tentacles. An aurotyugh grapples its opponents, uses its ability to soften armor to make them more vulnerable, then begins to gnaw.
