The cursed beasts

[hcobb]

The only good things about the cursed beasts are that they're very rare, they only appear singularly, and they rarely venture into civilized areas.

Their stats very wildly: ST 2d+7, DX 1d+6, IQ 5, MA 12
Attack: Claws do +2 damage for their ST over a bare handed attack.

Any weapon or spell, including Control Animal will work on them, some of the time. Unfortunately every physical or magical attack against them suffers the effect of a five point curse.

Worst of all they carry no treasure as they slay everything in their path. Even their corpses disappear once reduced to ST zero.
