    The Skunk Ape is a broad, dark-haired primate of southern swamps, recognized as much by its overwhelming odor as by tracks and glimpsed movement. It watches camps from palmetto cover, steals food, and retreats through water no ordinary pursuer can cross quickly. Cornering it releases panic, strength, and a stench capable of ending the chase by itself.

    Special Attack

    Swamp Stench: creatures within 15 ft make a Tough save or become weary and suffer -2 to attacks for 2 rounds.

    Special Defense

    Room to Retreat: leaving one clear path into dense swamp prevents Swamp Stench unless the Skunk Ape is attacked. Strong wind removes the attack penalty after 1 round.
