A bane or savior to every bartender and innkeeper, alehouse drakes enjoy pushing patrons’ emotions, driving crowds to ecstatic cheers or bloody bar fights. \nAlehouse drakes make their homes in cities and towns, though older drakes settle down in roadside coaching inns. In the former situations, they are often troublemakers or pranksters, but in the latter circumstances, they usually befriend the proprietor and help manage flared tempers and weepy drinkers in return for living space and a generous tab. \n**Relentless Gossips.** Alehouse drakes gossip endlessly. Perched in hiding places throughout busy taverns, they overhear many stories, and often trade in information, making them good sources for news about town. More devious and ill-mannered alehouse drakes resort to blackmail, but usually only to secure a comfortable spot in their chosen tavern. \n**Family Heirlooms.** Alehouse drakes are one to two feet long on average and weigh about eighteen lb. with a plump belly. Their scales are deep amber with cream or white highlights, and they possess glittering, light-colored eyes.

When active, it rises up to form a muscular humanoid with the head of a jackal. A destroyed anubian collapses into an inert pile of sand. \n**Death to the Unarmored.** In combat, anubians prefer to fight unarmored foes rather than creatures wearing armor. They associate unarmored creatures with spellcasters, and their latent resentment over centuries of being summoned as servants drives them to attack such figures when they aren’t shackled by magical bondage. \n**Sandstorm Tag Teams.** Anubians fight effectively as teams, using their haboob attacks to corner and isolate the most vulnerable targets. \n**Elemental Nature.** An anubian doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.", "name": "Anubian", "size": "Medium", "type": "Elemental", "subtype": "", "group": null, "alignment": "chaotic evil", "armor_class": 13, "armor_desc": "", "hit_points": 44, "hit_dice": "8d8+8", "speed": { "walk": 30 }, "strength": 12, "dexterity": 16, "constitution": 12, "intelligence": 10, "wisdom": 12, "charisma": 10, "strength_save": null, "dexterity_save": null, "constitution_save": null, "intelligence_save": null, "wisdom_save": null, "charisma_save": null, "perception": null, "skills": { "stealth": 5 }, "damage_vulnerabilities": "", "damage_resistances": "bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks", "damage_immunities": "poison", "condition_immunities": "exhaustion, grappled, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, prone, restrained, unconscious", "senses": "darkvision 60 ft., tremorsense 30 ft., passive Perception 11", "languages": "Primordial", "challenge_rating": "2", "cr": 2.0, "actions": [ { "name": "Multiattack", "desc": "The anubian makes two claw attacks." }, { "name": "Claw", "desc": "Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Their victims are constricted until their struggles cease and then are devoured. Their flexible tentacles are ill-suited for terrestrial movement; they must drag themselves clumsily across open ground too wide to swing across. \n**Clans in the Canopy.** Arboreal grappler tribes build family nests decorated with bones and prized relics of past hunts. These nests are built high in the jungle canopy, typically 80 feet or more above the ground. Clans of 40 or more spread across crude villages atop the trees; in such large settlements, a third of the population are juveniles. These nests are difficult to spot from the ground; a DC 20 Wisdom (Perception) check is required. A creature observing an arboreal grappler as it climbs into or out of a nest has advantage on the check. \n**Carnivorous Elf Hunters.** Grapplers are carnivorous and prefer humanoid flesh, elves in particular.

To placate the creatures, owners of smelters and smithies leave large piles of ash for the drakes to play in, with the hope they leave the shop and its workers alone. Anyone hunting ash drakes finds them very difficult to attack in their cramped lairs because the creatures blend in with the surroundings. Ash drakes often befriend kobolds, who have little trouble appeasing the beasts and appreciate the added security they bring. \n**Hunt Strays and Pets.** Ash drakes eat rats and stray animals, although few can resist snatching an unattended, possibly beloved pet. Contrary to popular opinion, this drake doesn’t consume ash, but enjoys a pile of ash like a cat would catnip, rolling around in it and becoming wild-eyed. Anyone who disrupts such play becomes the target of the creature’s intensely hot and sooty breath weapon. \nWhile an ash drake is three feet long with a four-foot long tail that seems to trail off into smoke, it weighs less than one might expect—approximately ten lb. Every third winter, when chimneys are active, a male drake leaves his lair to find a mate. If the new couple roosts in a city or town, the nearby streets know it, as the air becomes nearly unbreathable with soot. The resulting eggs are left in a suitable chimney, and one of the parents protects the young until they leave the nest at two years of age. \n**Volcanic Haunts.** Ash drakes outside a city live in or near volcanic plateaus, and mutter about the lack of neighbors to bully.

Most cactids are green or brown with distinct ribs; all are lined with countless needles. \n**Drain Fluids.** In addition to gathering water, a cactid's tendril-roots can snag nearby creatures and pull them into a deadly embrace.

The air around them singed the nostrils with the taint of acid._ \n**Beasts of Burden and War.** Carrion beetles are powerful beasts of burden with strong jaws and the ability to both climb and burrow. With a wide back, serrated, spiky forelegs, and a narrow head, the carrion beetle is too large to ride on very comfortably although it makes an excellent platform for ballistae and howdahs. Its thick exoskeleton varies from drab brown, tan, and black to shimmering blue green, purple-green, and a highly prized yellow‑orange. \nThe largest carrion beetles make a distinctive wheezing sound when their spiracles are stressed; this noise creates a hum when multiple beetles run or charge on the field of battle. War beetles are often armored with protective strips of metal or chitinous armor fused to their exoskeletons, increasing their natural armor by +2 while reducing their speed to 20 feet. \n**Devour Fungi and Carrion.** Carrion beetles rarely gather in groups larger than a breeding pair and a small cluster of offspring in the wild. The domesticated varieties travel in herds of 20-40 to feed on fungal forests, scavenge battlefields, or devour cave lichen and scour sewage pits. The larger caravan beetles are always antagonistic. \nWhen breeding season hits, carrion beetles feast on the bodies of large animals. They are often found in symbiotic relationships with deathcap mycolids, darakhul, and related species. Many species in the deep underworld consider carrion beetles food and use their exoskeletons to fashion shields and armor (though their chitin is too brittle for weaponry). \nPurple worms are their major predators. Worms swallow entire caravans when they find the beetles within. \n**Domesticated by Ghouls.** Domesticated by the darakhul, the carrion beetles live a more complex life. They begin as simple pack animals, with the strongest being trained as war beetles. War beetles often carry ballistae and harpoons fitted with lines for use against flying foes. \nIn late life, the beetles are used as excavators, scouring out tunnels with their acid.
