Monster: Pale Flenser

Another obscure monster from my old conversion notes. A gasbag plant with long flensing tendrils. Pretty interesting.

    Tendril (12): 1d cutting, Reach 1-4.
    Disease: Any living creature injured by a tendril risks being infected by its spores. Roll against HT-3. If the roll is failed, the infected creature takes 1d-1 toxic damage four days later, and then every day for 5 more days. Each instance of damage can be negated by a HT-3 roll. When the victim loses 3/3 HP to this disease, he gains a -1 penalty to DX and ST until healed above this threshold.
