Like many large hunters, burrowers are patient and remain motionless for hours or even days if they expect prey to pass Although burrowers spend most of their time alone, they by or come out of hiding.
Young burrowers are when they returned to soft earth when they were convinced also more cautious, so they tend to hunt prey before moving the burrower had moved on. As they age, burrowers burrowers also plague caverns and tunnels underground. Reports of burrower infestations in the deep tunnels under dwarven strongholds and in other underground civilizations are relatively common. The destruction burrowers leave is unmistakable. Bellow: A bellowing burrower can perform a special Bellow stunt for 3 SP.
They can use this tail to attack anyone near them with its long, sword-like tip that can also deliver a powerful dose of poison for 2 SP. In addition to the normal burrower traits, add the following.

Not only will the holes slow travel along the road—the chance of a burrower dungeon of death attack is high.
But who knows? The PCs are exploring a dungeon, catacombs, or some other underground location. The heroes need to make it past the burrowers on the way up, deal with the bandits, then get them home for trial on the same route!
Fewer people, however, know about the folk-trap, the pit plant, or the flesh-eating tree. These carnivorous plants have long been the bane of humans, animals, and cover its maw until a haphazard foot steps with some weight on it, at which point it snaps shut, trapping the victim within.
By contrast the pit plant has its roots and much of its body underground, and a large frond-like appendage rising above a cavernous and dark maw underneath. The frond other creatures larger than the prey of their smaller cousins. Left unchecked, they remain a danger to any animals and people to use, with the valve-like mouth of the explorers or scouts who might venture into the unknown.

These come in a range of sizes, and the heroes may encounter one which may only be able to capture smaller crea- tures, or one capable of trapping ogres or even dragons.
It should be noted that the pit plant and folk-trap are, in game terms, traps. These rules elaborate on how they differ from those listed in the basic rules. For every round the victim remains in the pit plant, they take 1d6 penetrating damage as its diges- tive juices eat away at them and their gear.
Folk-Trap: The maw of this creature acts as a trap for anyone who steps on it, suddenly snapping shut and grabbing at anyone unfortunate enough to activate it. Folk-traps can be destroyed with attacks and possess 25 Health, Defense 6, and an Armor Rating of 2.

They are often great heroes who betray what they once stood for, such as templars who break their vows and kin slayers. It is some- times possible for such charnel knights to redeem themselves but few attempt it. Most are seduced by the power and the battlefield causes soldiers to flee, and it is an act of courage to fear that they wield in their new forms.
Charnel knights are much more dangerous than the mindless Charnel knights can be created in three different ways. Some walking dead. They maintain their knowledge and memories are chosen by evil gods or demon princes, usually at their in full, making them canny opponents.
Since most charnel moment of death upon a battlefield. They have been loyal knights were soldiers of some sort in their mortal lives, they servants in life and now carry that on in death.
Other charnel have an understanding of tactics that can confound their knights transform themselves through rituals that require enemies. Over time each also gathers a retinue of walking dead them to undertake the darkest of deeds. The details of these from slain warriors of proven skill. These undead soldiers are rituals vary but all require the aspirant to kill hundreds of much tougher opponents than the average zombie and they innocents in their quest for immortality of a sort.
Lastly, there serve as bodyguards and shock troops. Retinues can range in size from a dozen to several hundred. Some charnel knights become so powerful that other charnel knights serve them as sub-commanders. Groups of charnel knights who form their own orders in mockery of chivalry are also known and feared. For example, you could give a charnel knight in service of a God of Fire a body that is perpetually engulfed in flame, which has the same effect as the Burning Shield spell.
Some charnel knights like to fight mounted. For this reason undead mounts are preferred. They are a little slower than their mortal counterparts but such creatures have no problem being ridden by charnel knights. To create such a mount, pick a suitable animal and reduce its speed by one third. Then add the following two special qualities. Deathly Fortitude: Undead mounts have a natural AR of 4 and do not need to breathe, sleep, rest, eat, or drink normally.
Mindless Aggression: Undead mounts never flee from battle unless commanded, though they can be tricked or manipulated. I did face him Abilities Focuses on the field but our blades did not clash.

Craterlings are immune to the Wave of Madness. Such creatures, should they exist in a campaign world, would be Big and Armored see Modi- fying Monsters on page and be Elite or greater versions of the standard craterling see Beefing Up Adversaries on page 3.
It is even possible that giant craterlings are early or lesser versions of these larger creatures. Craterlings who spawned on a world that is all water may develop the Aquatic special quality, while versions of the creature from a volcanic planet may have Elemental Resistance Fire but Vulnerability Cold. GMs seeking to customize their craterlings should check out the Modifying Monsters section on pages for ideas and inspiration. Unbelievable things.

But if even a few normal Speed. Threat: Minor. There are numerous shapes, sizes, types, and variations of demonkind. The following examples, in addition to the Commonly summoned by demonic cults or wizards with more enemies than scruples, assassin demons revel in stalking and murdering their target. Some seem to delight in the carnage and bloodshed they engage in when they find their victim, while others focus on the act of stalking their prey.
Sometimes Demon Warrior already provided in the Fantasy AGE Basic called murder demons or demons of the hunt, once an assassin Rulebook, are some of the more noteworthy types of demon demon has been set upon a target, it cannot be compelled to that adventurers may encounter.
It will hunt its target until either the target or the demon is dead. Beyond the walls of normal reality are strange dimensions, Assassin demons are wiry, a little shorter than the average hellish realms filled with creatures that are strange or horrific to adult human. Their skin tone varies, ranging from chalk the races of the world. No one knows all of the different types white to near-black, and they often have animalistic features, of demonic creatures that exist.
These are well-known, for they are summoned all too frequently by features are twisted, however, and the demon simply feels those who desire the swift death of their enemies. Like most demons, assassin demons cannot move into the world from their hellish home dimensions on their own.
They can be sent by more powerful demons or beings, or they can be summoned by an earthly master. In either case, they are brought to normal reality for the purpose of a specific death, and they usually return when their mission is complete. There are stories of assassin demons somehow remaining after their target is dead. These demons are particularly dangerous, for they can indulge their hunger for murder as they choose, without a specific mission to direct them.
In combat, assassin demons will almost always attempt to ambush, generally going for their target first.
If they do not have a specific target, they will usually attempt to kill one opponent as quickly as possible, and then fade away, giving them an opportunity to stalk and ambush the same group again. They enjoy the terror of their prey as they hunt, and will sometimes stalk their prey for hours before they strike. More powerful assassin demons can be summoned to deal with more dangerous targets, and some assassin demons seem to have developed or been deliberately created to deal with specific targets.
Assassin demons with Magic Resistance may be sent after wizards, and assassin demons with the Shadow special quality can be particularly dangerous.
Some assassin demons have learned to use abili- ties similar to spells of the Shadow Arcana to aid them in their hunts. Due to the mystic nature of 0 Communication the demon, this protects against all damage, even that not normally stopped by armor.
With an Activate action, the 3 Perception Seeing, Tracking assassin demon can mark a visible target within 10 yards as 3 Strength its prey. This lasts until the end of the encounter, until the Speed Health Defense Armor Rating target is dead, or until the demon chooses to use another 15 7 Climb 35 15 4 Activate to mark a different target. The demon cannot focus on more than one prey at a time. Many assassin demons like to ambush foes Blow from unusual angles, jumping down from above doors or attacking from windows that should be impossible to reach.
These murderer. And so we summoned the beast. The cult believes that orders. The lips of its snout curled back from sharp they have found a child who will one day grow-up to become fangs, and I could feel its eagerness to hunt. Can the heroes track down the child and then broke the circle.
The demon leapt past us, and disappeared. They find the townsfolk terrified, my research proposal! The pompous fool will pay for as someone or something has been hunting and killing the his lack of curiosity about the ancient magicks! Can the adven- —Candoril, Mage of the Crimson Tower turers track the unbound assassin demon to its lair and stop it, before more townsfolk are killed?
The town of Stonewall has a long history of heroes and adven- turers calling it home. Now, however, assassin demons have been killing the adventurers and defenders of the town. Even worse, there are stories of seducer demons taking the form of an imp, allowing some Imps are among the weakest of demons in terms of raw foolhardy mage to summon them, using this appearance of power.
Despite these risks, the knowledge and assistance that an imp However, the rituals and spells used to summon imps are can offer, particularly as a familiar to an inexperienced mage, relatively easy to obtain and perform, and they are the most makes them worth the risk to many sorcerers and cultists. They Imps are generally quite small ranging from the size of a rat are often used by their summoners as saboteurs, spies, famil- up to about the size of a young child , with bat-like wings, iars, and sources of information on other demonic beings.
Other than that, they vary a great deal Imps sometimes serve a dark god or demon lord in appearance. Their skin may be a number of colors, from in their hell-like home planes.

They may have an animal- summoned and pressed into service by like head often rat, dog, or bat , a strangely human face, or a mortal, this loyalty can color their that of a twisted mixture of different creatures. Some even actions. While following the letter have stingers like a scorpion or wasp. In some cases, this grotesque appearance becomes almost comical, which makes it easier to underestimate the diminutive demons.
In combat, imps generally harass their enemies, constantly moving and striking at their opponent from unusual angles, and distracting foes so that their allies can more easily strike. Imps can also attack their foes with a small bolt of hellfire or eldritch energy, allowing them to strike at their enemies from afar. They will often use the Circle action while doing this, allowing them to take advantage of their flight to keep their distance. Older and more powerful imps will be Elite, Heroic, and Epic versions, and will have greater knowledge of history, magic, and other lore.
Though least of all demons, the imps can be of great use to a clever and careful wizard. Imps possess knowledge of the arcane arts, and their abilities can enhance those of any mage with whom they ally. However, they should never be trusted. Bind the demon to you with strong magics, and, if possible knowledge of their true name. For even a lowly imp has its own agenda, and will attempt to turn its service of you to its own benefit.
And beware always that you do not summon a being more powerful than you suspect! For other demons have been known to hide themselves, aping the small, winged form of an imp in order to lure the unwary into a dangerous bargain. While we do 3 Accuracy Bite, Magic Bolt not herein present separate stats for these different types 1 Communication Deception of demons, it is fairly easy to modify the stats we do 0 Constitution have to make for more individualized demons.

Some imps may even be able to use magic in their own right, often of the Fire, Power, or Shadow arcana. For every 2 stunt points the imp spends, it can give its ally 1 stunt point to use on their next action for a spell stunt. Depending on the imp, this may appear as a small burst of hell- The following adventure hooks can help you introduce and fire, an arc of arcane electricity, or a glob of corrosive acid.

What all the sages and stories agree on is that demons, and demon lords in particular, are devoted to tyranny, conquest, and destruction.
Demon lords are individuals, however, and the specifics of their plans and goals differs wildly. One demon lord may be a rigid tyrant, ruling over vast legions of soldier demons with an iron fist.
Another is a ravening monster, a walking engine of destruction as likely to attack other demons as mortals. One demon lord will delight in burning kingdoms and killing heroes in single combat; another will corrupt mortal agents and engineer cults that worship it as a god.
Demon lords are among the most personally powerful and dangerous beings in existence. Their very presence on the battlefield terrifies warriors, and they are the equal of many a mortal hero in combat. When personally involved in a conflict, most demon lords use their Eldritch Burst and Aura of Terror abili- ties to weed out weaker foes. The demon lord next focuses on the single most dangerous target, making the best possible use of their combat talents to quickly eliminate the threat.
Demon lords are generally skilled and intelligent combatants, who use their great strength as well as stunts like Pierce Armor , to destroy their enemies. Elite, Heroic, or Epic demon lords are not only possible, but will generally be accorded higher rank and control of larger armies or other resources and will likely possess even greater. As the war came to the city of Ir Akhir, the king began to despair, for defeat seemed inevitable.
He poured over the maps, the reports of battle, but no insight came. He spoke to advisers and courtiers and soldiers, but none could offer him victory. Finally, the king called for his cousin, banished for study of dark magicks and consorting with demons. No one can report the name of the demon they attempted to summon that night, to bind to the service of the kingdom of Irenth. When the dawn came, the armies of the enemy were nowhere to be seen.
Nor were the armies of Irenth, nor the king, his cousin, nor his court. Within Ir Akhir, Ir Vadras, and all the cities of the peninsula, no living thing walked or crawled.
