Creatures of Arenen

Desert:
1 Sarlacc pit: Essentially starfish ant lions. These creatures manifest as massive sand pits, being 100 feet wide tip to tip and their mouths being massive caverns which can swallow an entire party of adventurers unsuspecting of what it might be.

2 Spider Monkey: Being overgrown spiders, these horrific beasts have the torso of a monkey instead of a spiders head. Upon their mouth you find brutal mandibles on either side of the lips.

3 Abomination: Being the torso of a malformed man, these creatures have 14 arms adorning their body. In place of legs they have 10 tentacles. These creatures mainly kidnap single targets, digging into the sand and disappearing.

4 Howler lizards: Being overgrown, brown lizards. These beasts bear 6 legs, as well as serpent like heads with three eyes on either side. Signalling the pack by shrieking, they pop out of the sand and ambush their prey.

5 Leaper: These are super-sized crickets that tend to be 20 feet long and stand 8 foot at their back. They are mostly carnivorous, and have a pair of arms in place of front legs, for the purpose of stuffing other creatures into their mandibles to be eaten. From their rear end spawn a pair of barbed tails, the sting of which deliver a neurotoxin which slows receptors in their red tissue and thus slow the motion of muscles and makes it easier to catch their prey.

Desert Drake: These ferocious, feral beasts resemble that of a baby dragon. In place of arms they have hooked wings, their heads almost resembling that of a camel. The big difference being the four goat-like horns that sprout from the crown of their head, as well as the mouth full of razor-sharp shark like teeth that are meant to rip and shred their prey apart. Their colors are averagely sandy yellow-brown, for camouflage. Their legs almost resembling that of a bird, two clawed front toes as well as a third coming off the back for balance. Their tails are long and whiplike, ending in a spiked sphere.

1 Emperor Stag: These beetles are 12 feet long, and stand 6 feet high at their back. Looking much like stag beetles, they have a rather unique quirk. Upon opening their back shells, they contain a mass of long red tendrils about 20 feet long. To determine the number of tendrils roll a 1d20. These tendrils bear the special properties of turning the neural signals of their brain into a weapon, acting as a lightning rod of sorts and releasing short bursts of electric signals capable of frying their preys nervous system.

Moss Troll: Looking like a super sized humanoid, these beasts bear a head much akin to a crocodile. They dwell in the trees of unexplored forests, and find joy in hunting and tormenting their prey. Most of them stand at 15 feet from head to toe, having arms that reach 2/3rds of their height. They have the special ability to sprout vines from trees and use this to swoop in and snatch their prey off the ground. Their teeth are spikes generally about two to four inches long, and hands bear claws of up to 6 inches long.
