Trial of Ink - Day 22 - Tenacious

luridus balshiranus
Zarghoul is a subterranean predator that prowls the vast underground cave system beneath the Balshira mountain range and pine forest. This stealthy hunter relies on its incredibly sharp senses of hearing and smell to track its prey. It then uses an extra pair of arms that sprout from its back to grab hold of its quarry, utilizing a unique muscle structure that enables it to lock its claws in place. While it usually hunts smaller animals in the caves, it will sometimes come to the surface at night to stalk larger prey. When it finds a target, Zarghoul has a peculiar habit of obsessively pursuing and tracking that single animal, no matter what obstacles it encounters or how long it takes. Sadly, some of its victims manage to escape its relentless pursuit, while the Zarghoul itself may eventually succumb to starvation after weeks of futile pursuit because of its obsessive impulse.
------------------------------
UPDATE :
I just added a second page for Zarghoul with additional information about the creature and updated the stats to make it more dangerous and challenging as a solo creature encounter.
the files will be added to the Trial of Ink folder in the Vault post later.

This thing would be awesome in a hunting campaign I can just imagine the encounters of it stalking the party

good for survival exploration sessions~ where 'keeping watch during long rest' is actually a matter of life and death XD

It's like an on demand Revenant. This is great for a tense hit and run type monster idea who keeps interrupting other encounters to force player's hands. This is for the long trek through unknown territory kinda adventure hook. Good descriptions of it's tactics sell this

Reminds me of Gore Magala without the wings. Fighting something like that would be vicious. :)
