Monster: Xixecal

Monster: Xixecal

Another monster from my old conversion notes. I was not looking forward to statting it out, because it is closer to a plot device than an adversary traditional adventurers can overcome.

Typical Stats

ST:	290 (KYOS: 50)	HP:	678	Speed:	6.75
DX:	10	Will:	18	Move:	9
IQ:	10	Per:	10
HT:	17	FP:	57	SM:	+8
Dodge:	9	Parry:	9 (unarmed)	DR:	20, 20 (vs. cold)

    Punch (12): thrust 38d+1 crushing (KYOS: 13d crushing) + 2d follow-up fatigue damage from cold (treat FP lost to this attack identically to FP lost to the cold for all purposes, notably recovery (see Cold, p. B430)). Reach C-15.
    Fangs (12): thrust 38d+1 impaling (KYOS: 13d impaling) + 2d follow-up fatigue damage from cold (treat FP lost to this attack identically to FP lost to the cold for all purposes, notably recovery (see Cold, p. B430)). Reach C.
    Dire Winter: The xixecal always emits cold. The temperature changes at a rate of 10° per second up to a minimum of 100° below the ambient temperature in a 512-yard radius around the xixecal. This ability never does damage directly.
    Nondetection: The xixecal is nearly impossible to detect, see, or divine with any Information spells, regardless of the magic system used to cast them. Reduce the diviner’s effective margin of success by 10 for these purposes – so a spell that succeeded by 0-9 completely fails to find the xixecal, while one that succeeded by 10+ provides less information than normal and is at a huge disadvantage if it’s resisted.
