Creatures of Krynn

Draconians

Aurak Draconians

    Auraks cannot fly, but they move as fast as other draconians on the ground. Auraks possess a limited ability to dimension door three times per day at will. Their most feared form of attack is their mind control.

Additional Info:

    The senses of Auraks are heightened so that they have infravision good to 60 feet, and can detect hidden and invisible creatures within 4". They can also see through all illusions. Auraks have several natural defenses that they can invoke at will. They can turn invisible once each turn until they attack. They can polymorph self into the shape of any animal their size, three times per day. But the most diabolical ability is to change self three times per day to resemble any human or humanoid and to perfectly imitate its voice. This effect only lasts for 2d6 +6 rounds.

    Auraks have three modes of attack. They can generate blasts of energy from each of their hands (1d8 + 2 points of damage with each), striking targets up to 6" away. When using change self, they appear to be using an appropriate weapon, but are really attacking with energy blasts. They can also attack with claws and fangs (1d4/1d4/1d6). Three times per day they can breathe a noxious cloud (five foot range). Victims caught in the cloud must roll a successful saving throw vs. breath weapon (for half damage) or suffer 20 points of  damage and be blinded for 1d4 rounds.

    Auraks can also cast two 1st- to 4th-level magic-user spells. Their preferred spells include these: enlarge, shocking grasp, ESP, stinking cloud, blink, lightning bolt, fire shield, and wall of fire.

    The Auraks' most insidious power is mind control. They can use suggestion once per turn at will, but they must concentrate. And once per day they can mind control one creature of equal or fewer hit dice for 2d6 rounds through unbroken concentration. Mind control lets the caster control the actions of the target as if it were his own body. The target must roll a successful saving throw vs. breath weapon to avoid the effect.

    When an Aurak reaches 0 hit points, it does not die, but immolates itself with eerie green flames and enters a fighting frenzy (+2 to hit and damage). Anyone attacking it suffers 1d6 points of damage each round from the flames, unless a successful saving throw vs. petrification is rolled. Six rounds later, or when the creature reaches -20 hit points, it transforms itself into a whizzing ball of lightning, striking as a 13-HD monster and causing 2d6 points of damage to those struck. Three rounds later it explodes with a thunderous boom, stunning all within 10 feet for 1d4 rounds (2d4 if underwater) and causing 3d6 points of damage to all within 10 feet (no saving throw allowed). Any items within range must sav vs. crushing blow or be destroyed.

Kapak Draconians

    Kapaks are larger than Baaz and often bully and abuse their smaller cousins. Because of the kapak's venomous nature, the Dragon Highlords employ these draconians as assassins as well as warriors. Kapaks are sly and conniving, seeking to lure their prey into traps and tripping foes to gain an advantage.

Additional Info:

    When a Kapak reaches 0 hit points, its body instantly dissolves into a 10-ffoot-wide pool of acid. All within the acid pool take 1d8 points of damage each round they remain there. The acid evaporates in 1d6 rounds. All items possessed by the Kapak are useless thereafter.
 

Sivak Draconians

    Sivaks are shapeshifters, capable of changing their form under two specific conditions. When a Sivak slays a humanoid of its size or smaller, it may take on the form of its victim. The Sivak does not gain the memories, experiences, or spell use of the victim and, like all draconians, radiates magic, but its appearance and voice are exact matches to those of its victim. The Sivak can change back to its normal form, but after doing so cannot polymorph again until it kills another humanoid. A Sivak will also change shape when it is slain-it assumes the form of the creature that killed it. This death-shape lasts for three days, then the entire body decomposes into blac soot.

Dreamshadows

    Dreamshadows can be of any alignment and can be either harmful or helpful to those who experience them.

Additional Info:

Dreamwraiths

    Dreamwraiths attack with terrible swiftness and with the fury of a berserk fanatic.

    Dreamwraiths are no undead and therefore cannot be turned by clerics. They are illusionary, however, and if their illusion is discovered, their blows do no harm to the nonbeliever. Because the mindspin spell weaves real people into its illusion, maintaining disbelief in these creatures is nearly immposible (-5 penalty to the check).

Fetch

    A fetch appears to be a haggard and deathly pale imitation of the person gazing into the surface. To the person gazing at their reflection, the fetch appers to be standing immediately behind them. A fetch attacks with stunning speed, using an exact replica of the weapon of its victim (this replica disappears if the fetch is killed).

    Fetch are always invisible, even while attacking, to all but their victim. The victim can only see the fetch by looking into the reflective surface.

    The chilling touch of a fetch drains the essence of life from the victim with horrific speed.

Ice Bears

    Ice bears have an uncanny ability to track prey over snow and ice, and the thanoi use them for this purpose, sharing the reward, if any, with the bears.

Shadowpeople

    Shadowpeople dwell almost exclusively underground and suffer greatly in the light of the sun. Under an overcast sky (the usual weather conditions in Sanction), they can operate but do so in great pain. This pain is even more extreme when in direct sunlight.

    The shadowpeople's bodies are covered with dark, smooth fur. A long, stretchable membrane connects their arms to their flanks. The membrane enables the shadowpeople to glide through the air, covering 10 feet of ground for every foot they drop. Under certain thermal air conditions, this allows them to soar and gain height as they fly.

    Shadowpeople have a close, clannish culture. The young are cared for by whatever adults happen to be nearby. The adults are divided into two classes: warrior and councillors. The warriors patrol the race's underground tunnel network and defend the clan against intrusion. The councillors meet regularly to educate the young and make decisions about the survival of the race.

    Shadowpeople can communicate via a set of squeaks and growls that forms a primitive language, but they are much more likely to use their advanced ESP abilities to send and receive messages. This ESP accounts for the shadowpeople's low Armor Class. In combat they are able to anticipate the actions of their enemies and take measures to defend against it. They cannot be surprised by any sentinent creature.

    In combat each shadow warrior employs a wickedly curved hook to both attack and restrain opponents. Once an enemy has been impaled by the hook of a shadow warrior, the enemy's attacks are hampered and he continues to take damage from the hook.
