Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Deep below the Earth's surface live the Umber Hulk. Big, burly beasts lurking hidden within the very walls just waiting to pounce on unsuspecting adventurers. With a body designed to rip through earth and rock the Umber Hulk can make light work of mere flesh. To make matters worse the evil beasties have strange glittering eyes, which cause what?
2. Toughest of the Earth bound monsters is the mighty Tarrasque. This beast is just ridiculous in its power, that mere mortals can be grateful it spends the vast majority of its life sleeping. Of course when it wakes up it's hungry and looking for snacks. When a creature is fifty feet long it's likely to have equally large claws and jaws. The Tarrasque is living proof of this. Its claws do great damage; its jaws have the tendency to remove limbs with frightening regularity. Then there's the powerful whipping tail and the pointy horns. Magic spells rebound off the beast's tough hide. All but the most experienced mortals are likely to be affected by what upon seeing the Tarrasque?
3. The Behir. This nasty critter scurries about on its many legs or tucks them in and slither like a snake. The Behir likes to do in adventurers by biting them then coiling about its prey and squeezing, bringing into play ripping talon attacks as well. If you're really unlucky the Behir might swallow you whole. They are 40 feet long after all. The beast has one other form of attack. What is it?
4. The Death Knight. As an old Dungeon Master, you appreciate any monster that is able to use Power Words, Symbols and Fireballs while still wielding a lethal sword. The Death Knight carries with it the armour it carried in life but it has the added protection of magic resistance. What is special about the Death Knight's magic resistance?
5. Giants are a staple of the game. Many different varieties are out there just waiting to turn a group of adventurers to mash. My favorite giant is the Fomorian Giant. Why? They're ugly, they're evil, and when they hit they hurt. What Giant trait does the poor Fomorian giant not possess?
6. The artificially constructed Golems are another of my favorites. Players seem to like them too, as if there's a Golem around it's frequently guarding loot. The Iron Golem is a true challenge to all but the toughest group of adventurers. It's immune to all but the most enchanted of weapons, spells mostly bounce of its metallic hide, and magical fire even heals it. That's just the defensive attributes of the Iron Golem, its attacking features include a very hard hitting strike plus what other special feature?
7. My favorite monster of all is the mighty Demi-Lich. Players acting a bit too big for their magical boots? Introduce them to the Demi-Lich; the survivors will be surprisingly humble. What makes them so nasty? Well, the Demi-Lich is close to indestructible, only top of the range weapons like the Vorpal sword or mace of disruption even scratch this tough guy. That's if the players can hit the Demi-Lich's low armour class. This guy will hit adventurers with a howl that causes death when first awoken from its unholy slumber, but the most feared attack comes later. What is the main attack of the Demi-Lich?
8. Another of my favorites is the sinister sneaky Ettercap. Best described as half Troll half spider these guys like to lurk in deep dark forests. One sign you have stumbled into Ettercap territory is when you stumble into an Ettercap trap. Using the spider-like silk they produce from special glands the Ettercap will prefer to immobilize its prey before moving in for a quick kill. How does achieve this quick kill?
9. How to annoy players? Kill them in their sleep. Simple, and what better way than the sinister sneaky Slithering Tracker. This nasty creature looks like nothing more than a giant transparent tadpole. It's a good reason for players not to make camp underground where these beasts like to dwell. It sneaks up on the unwary and paralyzes its prey. It can kill a man in an hour by draining them of what?
10. Adventurers making their way through soggy swamps had best keep an eye out for this monster; the Shambling Mound. These great masses of intelligent vegetation strike out with two arm like appendages and any victim hit by both arms becomes entangled with the risk of suffocating in the creatures slime very real. Some forms of attack actually cause the Shambling Mound to grow bigger and more powerful. Which kind of attack?
