[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5979680, member: 57383"] Okay, I've checked the Boobrie's stats and there are two versions of this avian. The oldest version is a 1E AD&D monster from [I]Monster Manual II[/I] (Gary Gygax, 1983). It stands 12 feet tall and is a known maneater. The Boobrie in the [I]MC11 Forgotten Realms Monstrous Compendium Appendix[/I] (1991) and the [I]Monstrous Manual[/I] (1993) is the same as this monster. There's also a Boobrie in [I]HR3 Celts Campaign Sourcebook[/I] (1992) that's only 6 feet tall and rarely eats people. But that's only because Boobries hunt creatures smaller than themselves. The "Celtic Boobrie" will eat Small-sized human children. Apart from one being Large and the other Medium-sized, the two are pretty similar. The original one has 9 HD and a 2d8 damage beak, its half-sized version 4+4 HD and a 2d4 damage beak, so they're pretty close to a standard 3E size progression. Shall I post their stats? [/QUOTE]
