Monster Trove for Seasoned Adventurers
Glyph-Eater
Medium
About
A flat-snouted beast that grazes magical writing off walls, leaving dead runes and crumbling wards behind it. It blunders toward the strongest magic in a room - a scroll, a glyph-trap, a spellbook - and starts to eat. Interrupt its meal and it retches up a line of half-digested symbols that detonate in a spray of unstable magic.
