Calytaur

Pigfolk or boarfolk. An humanoid.

Imagine a humanoid covered in mud and with the face of a pig. It stinks of feces and dirt.

Unhinged reveler, basic instincts, strong brutes.


 
HD: 1 Armor: leather
Hit it: normal Dodge it: normal
Move: normal  

It can smell in the dark as if they were seeing. Also, if an attack would reduce the calytaur to 0 HP, roll 1D6 and reduce the damage by as much.

Attacks (1/round)

Great-Axe. The calytaur makes one melee attack (1D8).

Charge. If it has the space for it, the calytaur charges with its axe (1D8 + 1). A target with Strength below 6 falls prone.

DM Notes

The original creation of Richard J Leblanc refers to the calydonian boar of greek myths. I personally used them more as bacchanalian hillbilly cultists pig people in my games, so it might have tainted my encounter table. I gave them a relentless ability similar to boars to avoid making them orc clones. — SaltyGoo
