The Mudora
The Mudora is a vile river creature of local folklore. It may be encountered in deep rivers, lakes or anywhere there is freshwater and activity on or near the water. Reguardless of where the GM decides to place the creature it will prove to be a challenging adversary for most low to mid level groups.
The creature is said to have once been the daughter of a local fisherman.
The young girl was secretly in love with a young man from another local
village. When the girls father discovered this, he became furious and
forbade the girl to ever see him again, sending servants to find and slay
the boy. The boy escaped, but the fisherman's daughter, becoming bitter
and violent killed her father in an angry rage. Her dark deed having
been done, the girl walked to the river and dissapeared. Some say she
threw herself into the night's dark waters, some say otherwise. Despite
any stories, the Mudora is a dangerous supernatural threat to local
fisherman and traders. She is a PPE vampire feeding on the life and
emotions of her unfortunate victims.
**Destroying the head will slay the creature (does not often leave it above water for long) Natural Abilites: Can breathe underwater and in air, but requires the bulk of it's mass to be underwater. It can "sense" what is happening near any of it's tendrils or main body even if the head cannot see them. The tendrils can confront and capture prey independently of the rest of the creature. Nightvision 60ft above water and 120ft underwater. Does not like bright light (never out in full sunlight, hunts at dusk/dawn/night and on overcast/stormy days), but is attracted to lamps, lanterns on boats. Regenerates 4D6 SDC/Hp per hour and can regenrate a tendril in 24 hours.
Alignment:Anarchist preadator If the creature's SDC is reduced significantly or five or more of it's tendrils are severed/heavily damaged, it will flee and try later for easier prey. The creature is fairly lazy and stupid, so it would not uneccissarily risk itself or ally with any other evil force (unless great rewards of PPE/victims are supplied). If the characters can slay the vile beast they will surely be local heroes!
