A Monster from a Dream
A while ago I had a dream about a giant bear made out of wood, filled with books. This is my attempt to expand on that. [If I ever actually put this in a dungeon, I would try to add a rumor table entry indicating its contents, or describe it as sounding hollow, rather then try to use the fire weakness as a gotcha.] The Li-Bear-Y Magnesius the One-Armed was a mage of unmatched hubris. As he traveled the world, he grew tired of paying increasingly exorbitant fees to transport his large selection of tomes. Eventually, he came up with an idea: A giant beast which could carry all of his books in its belly, which could easily be extracted through the mouth. After Magensius's untimely death, the schematics for his Li-Bear-Y were sold at auction. Every so often, a wizard makes another one. Li-Bear-Y Abilities Very rare. Appears as a giant wooden bear, covered in arcane runes. Stats as a Bear AC as a ship's hull. Filled with scrolls! Roll below. Takes -1 damage per die from weapons...
