    The Nemean Lion is an enormous predator whose golden hide turns blades, arrows and ordinary claws. It lairs in a cave with two mouths, using one entrance to hunt anything watching the other.

    Special Attack

    Golden Claws and Jaws: slashing or piercing, melee 10 ft, +6 to hit, 4d10+6, twice each round. If both attacks hit the same creature, the lion holds that creature in its jaws. Cave Rush: it moves between the two entrances of its lair in one turn and may attack at the end of that movement.

    Special Defense

    Uncut Hide: slashing and piercing attacks deal no damage, magical or otherwise. Bludgeoning attacks affect it normally. While it holds a creature in its jaws, that creature may attempt a Strength Chance Roll to choke it; three successes before release reduce the lion to 0 HP.
