Monster Trove: Old Fears and Hungry Things
Echidna
Gargantuan
About
Echidna is the immortal mother of monsters, woman above and vast serpent below, dwelling in a cavern beyond ordinary roads. Many famous horrors descend from her, while her own identity rests in prophecy, lineage, and patient survival. Echidna survives through prophecy, lineage, and the knowledge that killing one monster often creates the story that calls another into being.

Call the Bloodline: Echidna summons one lesser mythic beast with 60 HP, AC 15, DR 2, and one 2d10+4 attack. Only one summoned child may exist at a time.
Special Defense
Mother Before Monster: presenting proof that one of her children was spared, redeemed, or properly buried forces a Mind save. On a failure, Call the Bloodline ends and Echidna negotiates for 1 round.
