Baiters are terrible woodland beasts, rare now, but once more common. They
are large humanoids, similar in appearance to trolls, except that they have
long ears, smaller noses and jaws and are gray in color, not green.
They are strong and fast, and very cunning. Their hides are thick, and have
tufts of coarse hair.
Their favorite wicked trick is that which gives them their name: they will
often place bodies, coins, or other out-of-place objects in the woods where
they live, relying on the curiousity of humanoid prey to distract them or lead
them into a trap.
If they spot prey that attempts to flee, Baiters will chase it for so long as
it takes to catch it, howling loudly and horribly all the while.
COMBAT: In combat, Baiters attack with their fiercely-nailed claws.
ECOLOGY: Much like Trolls, Baiters are nearly fearless, and will eat almost
anything that lives.
