Both its dragon-like head and long, tubular body are covered with white scales. Combat: The tirichik prefers to ambush its prey by lurking inside a crevasse, hiding among hills of snow, or otherwise concealing itself. Its tentacles enable it to sense prey up to 100 yards away. When the prey approaches, the tirichik reveals itself, scuttling from its crevasse or charging from the snow. Because of the tirichik’s color and stealth, opponents suffer a –5 penalty to their surprise roll if encountering a concealed tirichik.When prey is scarce, the tirichik goes hunting. It uses its tentacles to probe into caves, beneath rocks, and even under the doors of houses to look for food. When it locates something to eat, it strikes,lunging into the cave or battering down the door to commence its attacks.The tirichik has special elastic tendons in its neck that allow it to temporarily detach its skull from its spinal column. The creature can strike like snake by suddenly elongating its neck, stretching itself an additional 5 feet. When making a stretch attack, the tirichik gains a +2 bonus to attack. It is unable to make any attacks in the following round as it must spend that round withdrawing its neck and re-attaching its skull to its spinal column. Therefore, the tirichik can make a stretching attack only once every other round.Instead of a bite, the tirichik can also use its tentacles, tipped with needle-sharp points, to attack, thrusting them like daggers up to 20 feet. The tentacles have an AC of 1, but because the tentacles constantly wave and writhe, attacks directed against the tentacles are made at a –2 penalty. If a tentacle suffers 5 points of damage (this damage is in addition to the tirichik’s normal number of hit points), it is severed. The tirichik grows a new tentacle in about a month.The tirichik suffers no ill effects from cold temperatures, and is also immune to all cold-based spells and magically-generated cold, including white dragon’s breath.</blockquote>
