A massive lake monster. Really harmless, but doesn't like being bothered. It's got a stomach-full of loot, though. And some water-spirit friends... Instinct: to be left alone

• Offer a challenge or game

• Sound the warning horn

A massive fish, large enough to eat people. It's not really aggressive, though. It's stomach has 8 hit points but heals rapidly. Instinct: to remain undisturbed

An ordinary enough snake. Instinct: to be left alone
