I am the Walrus

[Dysturbed]

Im working on a new creature for dnd 4e.
It's a mount that is kinda like a four legged furry walrus.
It will have a tail attack, Trample ect. Which i can take from the monster creator.
Those are easy.

The hard part is it will have a Tusk attack.
Im not really sure how to do it. Their head is very much like a walrus they bit tusks they can lift to use to impale something's head or arm ect. I doubt it could bite.

Perhaps look to Dragonlance's Thanoi as inspiration.

Sounds like a cool critter!

Sweet ill check those out.

Yeah it's a full up world design im working on. I drew the maps and everything a long time ago but recently discovered Masterplan and am now able to start putting stuff to digital files with dungeon tiles and everything. (love that program).

The creature is the mounts used by the local Dark Elves which are surface creatures now after being kicked out of their homeland by a really evil bunch of dwarves. The exile has taught them to trust the world above for their hospitatlity but they still have the eventual goal of reclaiming their homeland.

Anyhoo they are kinda like plains indians they worship nature and have great respect for the animals they use as their mounts. If a mount dies in battle they make weapons from the tusks of the animal and have them enchanted and name them after the animal. They become their fuel for revenge on whatever killed the mount.

Ran into another problem there I can't find the Thanoi in any of the books I have. You know which one would have some stats or abilities listed for them?
