[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 127277, member: 1241"] [b]The gryph[/b] GRYPH Small Beast Hit Dice: 2d10+2 (13 hp) Initiative: +3 (Dex) Speed: 10 ft, fly 50 ft (good) AC: 18 (+1 size, +3 Dex, +4 natural) Attacks: Bite +2 melee Damage: Bite 2d6 Face/Reach: 5 ft by 5 ft/5 ft Special Attacks: Improved grab, implant eggs Saves: Fort +4, Ref +6, Will +2 Abilities: Str 10, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 3, Wis 14, Cha 8 Skills: Hide +6, Listen +4, Spot +4 Climate/Terrain: Subterranean Organization: Flock (1-6 males, plus 1 female per 3 males) Challenge Rating: 1 Treasure: None Alignment: Always neutral evil Advancement: 3-4 HD (Small); 5-6 HD (Medium-Size) The gryph is a multilegged avian about the size of an eagle that lives in underground caverns. This bird usually has four legs, but specimens with six or eight are not unknown. It has a long, sharp beak, and its feathers are black and oily. COMBAT A gryph will hide high up in the shadows of a cavern, then swoop down at high speed and attack with its razor-sharp beak and powerful jaws. If there is a female gryph present who is ready to lay her eggs, she will attempt to grapple an opponent and implant them within. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a female gryph must hit with its bite. It it gets a hold, it grabs on with its legs and inject its eggs. Inject Eggs (Ex): Female gryphs lay eggs directly into the bloodstream of living creatures. If a gryph manages to grapple an opponent, it injects its eggs into the victim through a thin tube which projects through the abdomen, and out through the beak. The injection is immediate, but it takes a few days for them to hatch. During this time, a cure disease or dispel evil spell cast on the victim will kill the eggs. The eggs will hatch in 1d3 days, killing the victim immediately. As the eggs hatch, the victim will feel a discomfort and swelling of the abdomen, increasing to agonizing intensity just prior to the hatching. Though many eggs are implanted in the victim, only 1d4 of them will survive, and when the victim dies these baby gryphs will burst through the abdomen and fly away. The gryph first appeared in the Fiend Folio (1981). [/QUOTE]
