Mirror Beast / Mirror Beasts

Mirror beasts are a reptilian predator that specializes in hunting humanoid and sapient creatures. They have powerful jaws, razor sharp claws, horns, an armored hide and the ability to actively camouflage with their surroundings. They are often referred to as "Devil Dogs" by villagers and laymen, due to their hellish appearance and body shape resemblance to large hounds.

Pack Hunters Mirror beasts form tight familial bonds and work well together. They typically hunt in packs of 6 or more and develop larger packs the more successful they become.

Mirror beasts work together to take down prey of various sizes. They specialize in hunting humanoids and will often hunt in a town for several days before being discovered. Most people who come across a Mirror beast kill will assume it was a bear, wildcat or pack of wolves and assume it not continue. Little do they know, mirror beasts are emboldened by each successful hunt and have been known to eradicate entire villages in the span of a few weeks. They will use their chameleon abilities to blend in with their surroundings until the perfect moment to strike.

Leadership Mirror Beasts are pack hunters that follow a Matriarch. If their Matriarch falls in battle, their is a 50% chance that each member of the pack will individually flee the battle.

Hunted Mirror beasts excel at being the hunters, but not at being hunted. When forced to defend their own den mirror beasts often suffer from a morale de-buff of -2 to all Rolls, rather than gaining a lair benefit.
