Monster Trove: Things Others Swore They Saw

Sanzuwu

Large

About

A crow with three legs that lives in the sun, and the heat comes with it. Where a sanzuwu roosts, the wells drop, the rice yellows in the paddy and the well-diggers go deeper for less. It is not hunting and it is not angry. It is simply hot, in the way that the sun is hot, and it perches where it likes. Villages that get one send an envoy rather than an archer, and the envoy brings something worth a bird's attention.

Special Attack

Solar Wing: 20 ft, save Dex Quick, fail save roll 1d8+2 fire, cooldown 2 rounds. It uses this defensively and gives ample warning. Beak: piercing, melee 5 ft, +3 to hit, 2d6+2.

Special Defense

Drought: within a mile of its roost, standing water evaporates within a day, food spoils, and creatures relying on carried water go through it twice as fast. This continues for as long as it stays and is the actual problem. Of the Sun: immune to fire and to blinding by light. Cold and darkness effects deal double damage and are the only thing that has ever moved one along.
