This is the first of what I hope shall be many creatures from my slowly-developing 4e world of Dungeons and Dinosaurs. If the "Mortal" world is filled with giant lizards... what are the beasts of the Feywild like? A lot like this...
The Flickertooth Queen is a two-legged predator, with long, viciously clawed arms, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and skin which shimmers in every nameable color. At times, it seems to literally walk through space, a blur of distorted air and twisted light. The Queen is rarely alone; she is normally accompanied by her "knights" and their "squires", all of whom will gladly die to protect her -- and even more gladly kill so that she may feast. Flickertooth Queen Level 10 Skirmisher (Leader) Large fey magical beast XP 500 Initiative 11 Senses Perception +14 HP 92; Bloodied 46 AC 25; Fortitude 22, Reflex 22, Will 21 Speed 8 Claw (standard, Basic; at-will) +15 vs. AC, 1d8+5 Dual Claw (standard, Combat Advantage; at-will) The creature makes two claw attacks against the same target. Headchomper (immediate reaction, If both attacks from Dual Claw hit.; encounter) +15 vs. AC, 4d8+5 Flicker (move; recharge 6) ✦ Teleportation Creature can teleport 8 squares and gains CA against one adjacent target. Shimmering Veil (standard; encounter) The Flickertooth Queen becomes invisible until the end of her next turn or until she attacks. Distracting Display (standard; recharge 5, 6) Close Burst 5; Single Target in Burst;+13 vs. Will. Hit: Target grants combat advantage until the end of Flickertooth Queen's next turn. Alignment Unaligned Skills Perception +14 , Stealth +14 Str 21 (10) Dex 18 (9) Wis 18 (9) Con 18 (9) Int 4 (2) Cha 16 (8) Tactics: The Queen will usually try to gain Combat Advantage via her allies, and will keep back a bit from direct combat, using Distracting Display when possible if it will be of use. She will use Shimmering Veil to slip away from a persistent and dangerous foe, then reappear next to a weaker enemy and attempt to rip his head off. It is rumored some residents of the Feywild have learned to ride Flickertooth Queens into battle, a terrifying prospect. |
