Galeb Duhr?

[Tonguez]

remeber the Galeb Dhur the talking boulder?
Where is the 3e version?.

How have people used this creature in their games?

 

[Mouseferatu]

Yes.

Monster Manual II, p. 107.

Not since 2E, and then only briefly.

 

[Goblyn]

Galeb Duhr are in the MMII IIRC. I never used them, though so I can't help you there.

 

[VirgilCaine]

And they are in the Creature Catalog.

I used one as just a random encounter in 2nd edition as their characters were making their way up the side of a rocky mountain. That's about it.

 

[Shemeska]

I've used them on two occasions, during a plot arc in the elemental plane of earth, and another in the quasielemental plane of mineral. I also used a Daram Suhn about the same time.

As mentioned, the WotC version is in the MMII. Don't forget to check the free 3.0->3.5 update guide for updated stats.

ok thanks for the replies - I checked out the MMII Gallery and am not sure I like the new look (I always thought the old look was kind of 'goofy-cute' which is what endeared the things to me).

It also seems that noone (as yet) has found a way to incorporate them as more than a random or incidental encounter. Any ideas on how the Geleb Duhr could be given at least a degree of importance in an adventure?

There is an ancient legend, whose origin escapes me (Welsh, I believe), that tells the story of another legend, how, once every hundred years or so, all the boulders in one area would go down to the stream together and take a drink... One day, this lad is out, larking about, and spends some time carving a cross upon a boulder. As night comes, he lays down to sleep, and is awakened by a loud rumbling noise, as of thinder.

Jumping up, he looks around to see all of the boulders headed to the stream, for their century drink! Seeing the lad, they move to kill him, so that their secret will be safe... All but one; the one that he had carved the cross into... It moves to protect him, blocking the other boulders from killing him, until they all have to go back to rest for the next hundred years.

There are a few adventure ideas, therein. Mine them as you will.

My favorite concept for galeb duhr is firing them from catapults. What, you thought have a hole blown in the deck of your ship is bad? Wait til the ammo gets up and starts tearing things apart!
