Leucrotta

The leucrotta is a magical beast; a horrific mix of a lion's body, a badger's head, and a stag's legs. They constantly emit a noxious stench and their oily skin appears (and smells) rancid. They do not actually have teeth, but rather a jagged bony ridge as strong as adamantium.

Leucrotta are semi-intelligent creatures that hunt far more than they need to eat. They have an incredible ability at mimicry, and often make the sounds of wounded humanoids to draw in unwary adventures. They hunt both alone and in packs, preferring ambushes or advantageous terrain for their attacks.

Their loathsome behavior keeps them isolated in barren lands, but a large number can found in Skullport, where they are allies of The Unseen.

Leucrottas speak Common, Draconic, and Giant. They are usually chaotic evil in alignment.
