Adventure hooks!

Adventure hooks built around a creature's:

Habitat - makes burrows in the roots of gigantic trees, lives on the rims of volcanoes
Behaviors - attacks dwarves on sight, only migrates under a full moon
Special Properties - gargoyle gallbladders, dragon dung, unicorn horn
History - infested and destroyed the Crown City of Angoreon and were never seen again
Myths and Legends - too many to list
Anecdotes - Uncle Jurek saw saw one, deep in the swamp. He doesn't talk about it much...
