Klai Beasts are huge reptilian things. They move about on their strong hind
legs and have large, powerful jaws, appearing to be more humanoid than a
small dinosaur, but less so than a lizard man, and heavier.
COMBAT: Klai Beasts will attack with their claws and a powerful bite in close
combat. Any hit of 4 or better than the number needed indicates they have
clamped their jaws on their target. If the target so bitten is less than
250 pounds it will be swiftly and savagely shaken for up to 5 rounds, with a
15% chance each round of snapping the held creature's neck or spine. If the
creature bitten is larger than 250 pounds, it will be bitten automatically
on each following round.
Klai Beasts are swift, powerful jumpers, and can leap up to 30' forwards (which
they often do to attack), 10' straight up or 20' backwards (which they can
do in any round they have initiative, to escape). They can, however, only
jump 4 or 5 times in quick succession, as it takes a lot of energy.
ECOLOGY: Klai Beasts live in tropical climes, in jungles and grasslands. They
eat any warm-blooded animals which are smaller than them. They will
sometimes hunt in small groups, never larger than 4.
