Monster Trove: Old Fears and Hungry Things
Nian
Gargantuan
About
Nian comes down at the turning of the year to break doors, trample stores and seize anyone caught outside. Villages that survived remember three things: red cloth, bright fire and noise great enough to shake roofs.

Special Attack
Year-End Rampage: bludgeoning, melee 15 ft, +6 to hit, 4d10+6, twice each round. Devouring Roar: creatures within 60 ft make a Mind save; on a failed save they are frightened for 1d4 rounds.
Special Defense
Red, Fire and Thunder: each round that Nian can see broad red banners, a large open flame and hear continuous drums or explosions, it makes a Mind save. On a failed save it loses one attack that round. After three failures it flees until the next year.
