Monster: Hill Landwyrm

Monster: Hill Landwyrm

Desert and plains landwyrms are blurred out

Draconomicon is one of my favorite supplements for Dungeons and Dragons 3.5. It contains tons of draconic lore, options for dragons, allies of dragons, and dragonslayers. It also has some new monsters, and my favorites are the landwyrms. They are less smart than the true dragons, lack wings, breath weapons, and are based on their biome. Here we have my take on converting the hill landwyrm to GURPS.
