The Origin
More and more sightings by sailors describe a sinuous form dozens of feet long undulating across the sky, wingless but flying, light reflecting off iridescent scales as the creature vaults between sea and sky. Such a sighting is considered good luck. But those with the fortune to see the "Pacific Dragon" hopefully stay away. Because if this entity is chased, shot at, or otherwise interfered with, its frolicking, high-flying antics cease. Instead, it arrows toward the interlopers, enraged. The Pacific Dragon started life as a marine animal known as a leafy seadragon, a creature similar to seahorses and pipefish. But with its infusion of extraordinary abilities came great size, flight, and other unlikely abilities.
Motive: Defense
Environment: Usually alone, flying above (or swimming in) the Pacific Ocean
Health: 32
Damage Inflicted: Major wound (9 points)
Armor: 3
Movement: Long while flying or swimming; short while on the ground
Combat: The Pacific Dragon can bite two targets within short range as its action. Alternatively, the Pacific Dragon can directly command the weather once per hour. As its action, it can call up a storm blast against everything within long distance. Targets that fail a Might defense roll take damage from lightning and wind. If on the open water, their craft of level 6 or less descends one step on the object damage track. Once a craft is damaged, the Pacific Dragon may continue to attack it with physical attacks.
Interaction: The Pacific Dragon is usually unconcerned with people, but defends itself aggressively. It doesn't understand spoken languages, but is relatively intelligent and cunning.
Use: Several ships have gone down in a specific area of the Pacific Ocean. Rumors suggest a sea monster is to blame.
GM Intrusion: The character hit by the bite attack must succeed on a Might defense roll or become entangled in the creature's twining body. The grappled target takes damage each round until it can escape.
