Weasel, Giant 2 (6)

Lost Company Press

Imagine a normal weasel, but grown to the height of a tall man, with sinewy, elongated bodies and voracious appetites. Giant Weasels exhibit fur that ranges from rust-red to snowy white, and their eyes gleam with a cunning intelligence. They are both predators and scavengers, often targeting weak or injured creatures with their keen sense of smell.

Motive: Driven by hunger and territorial instincts

Environment: Dense forests and underground lairs (Forest)

Health: 6

Damage: 2 points

Armor: 1

Movement: Short

Modifications: Sneak and stealth as level 5; Climbing and initiative as level 5 due to agile nature

Combat: Giant Weasels are stealthy hunters, often ambushing prey from a hidden posiition. They bite with sharp teeth and will attempt to grapple smaller enemies, squeezing relentlessly. A victim grappled by a Giant Weasel suffers an automatic 4 points of damage each round until escaping by winning a Might-based task against the Giant Weasel.

• Blood Frenzy: If a Giant Weasel senses that a creature is at half health or less, it gains an additional immediate attack due to its frenzy for blood.
• Crushing Grip: When a Giant Weasel succeeds in grappling an opponent, it may initiate a crushing grip dealing an additional minor wound (2 points) as it squeezes the life out of its victim.

Interactions: Although primarily driven by instinct, Giant Weasels can sometimes be distracted or dissuaded by offerings of food or shiny objects that pique their curiosity.

Uses: The Giant Weasels may guard something valuable in their lair or be the pests in an area that local farmers need to be dealt with.

Loot: Giant Weasel pelts are highly valued for their warmth and beauty, fetching a handsome price in any market.

GM Intrusion: As the players are engaged with one weasel, another silently circles around to attack from an unexpected angle. s
