    Fear Aura: When a creature sees the vaporighu, it must roll a Fright Check. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour.
    Poison Breath (12): With a powerful breath, a vaporighu can spew a 2-yard-radius cloud of corrosive, toxic gas within 100 yards. To place the effect at a distance, use Innate Attack (Breath), with normal range penalties, but at +4 for affecting an area. The initial attack roll places the effect, it then drifts with the wind. The cloud persists for 10 seconds. Each creature in the area that breathes is the gas must make an HT-4 roll every second or take 1d toxic damage. In addition, every creature takes 1d corrosion damage per second regardless of breathing and HT rolls. Vaporighus are immune to the toxic effect of this ability. Each use costs 1 FP and has a 5-second recharge period.
    Corrosive Slime: Anything that touches the vaporighu takes 1d-3 points of corrosion damage.

    SM+1 Large Falchion (16): swing 3d cutting, Reach 1 or thrust 1d+2 impaling (KYOS: 2d+1 impaling), Reach 1.
    Horns (12): thrust 2d-1 impaling (KYOS: 3d-1 impaling), Reach C-1. The yak folk may gore with both horns as a single attack; if it hits, figure damage for each horn separately. They have the same DR as the skull (DR 4). If the yak folk loses one horn, it may still attack with the other.
    Body Thief (11): A yak folk can merge its body with that of a human, elf, dwarf, half-orc, or a giant. To use this ability, the yak folk must touch the intended target for 20 minutes without interruption (yak folk usually restrain their victims while using this ability). At the end of this period, roll a Quick Contest of the yak folk’s IQ versus the higher of the victim’s HT and Will. If the yak folk loses, he cannot even attempt to merge with this victim again.
    If the yak folk wins, he physically merges with the body, causing the host’s mind to go unconscious. Treat this as the Possession advantage with full memory access. If the host takes damage, it affects the yak folk proportionally. Separating the two bodies takes half as long as melding (10 minutes).

    Traits: Appearance (Ugly); Fur; Hooves; Infravision; Social Stigma (Savage); Temperature Tolerance 3 (Cold).
    Skills: Brawling-12; Broadsword-12; Intimidation-14; Meditation-12; Occultism-12; Survival (Mountains)-12.
    Creature Type: Monstrous Humanoid.
    Notes: Weight 700 lbs.

  1. Well, that was weirdly nostalgic. Thanks for putting up those half-remembered monsters: I had to wrack my brain about the details of a lot of them.
