Evil Nagafurre™

     These are the traditional temple guardians of
     the ancient world.  They have the torso of a
     Furre but a lower body like a huge snake.
     Their faces are often snake-ish, with scales
     and backswept ears tight to their heads. 
     Furres tend to find them beautiful yet somewhat
     repellant at the same time.

     A nagafurre can only be magically created by a
     conclave of Dark Mages.  It begins as an egg,
     which hatches and rapidly grows into a four-
     meter-long adult over the space of a month.
     Making a Nagafurre requires the destruction
     of a Faeriefurre, a mortal Furre, and a snake.

     They are usually equipped with a warrior's
     weapons, and armor made especially for them.
     Then they are set to guard great treasure
     hoards.

     Nagafurres can spit fist-sized balls of "fyre":
     gooey stuff that bursts into fire in the air.
     Their range is equal to that of the finest,
     heaviest bow.  Once set on fire, a victim's
     best chance is to smother the fire with
     something fireproof.  Rolling on the ground
     will make it worse and spread the fire.
     Water does nothing to the Nagafurre's fyre.
     It will burn for weeks- donated fyre from a
     friendly nagafurre makes a great lamp fuel!
 
     The best action for someone hit by fyre is
     to apply large amounts of dry powdered
     gypsum or plaster-of-paris.  The burning will
     go out but the victim will still be horribly
     injured.
     

     The nagafurre's senses of touch and hearing
     are very acute, and they cannot be surprised
     if they are awake.  They can hear the heart
     beat of a furre hiding behind a huge pillar
     several meters away, for example.  Thus,
     they can fight in pitch darkness without
     any penalty.

   
Nagafurres are, by nature, vain and insecure. They can embody all the worst traits of a young child-- greed, selfishness, laziness, malice, and so on. Also, like a young child, they love to listen to stories. (Long epics are their favorite.) There are three known ways to distract one. Its serpent nature makes it hungry and after being given a large offering of food, it will go to sleep. Its Faerie nature gives it a curious, playful side, and it can become obsessed with a puzzle toy, such as a large jigsaw or a metal blacksmith's puzzle. The mortal Furre nature gives the Nagafurre susceptibility to loneliness. Most will never have seen another Nagafurre and can be thrown into a state of rapture and longing by showing it a large mirror. It is also true that a mortal furre of the opposite sex who is good and pure of heart can tame the Nagafurre with kindness. (This isn't sexual, and it's always a furre of the opposite gender.) Once tamed, a Nagafurre starts to grow up, showing more and more self-control and maturity over time. PHYS: ? Hit Points: ? Move: ? DEFT: ? Attack ability with claws: ? INTL: ? Damage: ?/?/?
