Message: <blockquote data-quote="jasin" data-source="post: 3576313" data-attributes="member: 7531">I once used an alzabo, from Gene Wolfe's The Book of New Sun. It's a big predator which can mimic the voices and access the memories of those whose brains it eats.Mechanically, it was just a dire wolf who could use the voice of a girl it had eaten, so that her mother opened the door to the cottage where she and the PCs were spending the night (the whole scene pretty much straight out of Wolfe).So the fight was no more or less difficult than "... and as you're walking through the woods, a dire wolf appears, roll init", but it was rather more creepy and memorable.</blockquote>
