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.
