Barrows & Borderlands: Skulltakers

       

SKULLTAKER. AC 3 (16 | HD 6 | #E 1 | MV 60’ | THAC0 13 |  
#A 2 (1d12) | SV 9 | ML 10 | AL Chaotic | XP 950 | T (IV) Description:
 
I 'Skari, colloquially known as Skulltakers, hail from Tau Ceti and have a reputation as fierce killers and dogged bounty hunters. They insist on keeping the skulls of their victims on their backs, which helps attract a quality mate in their once-every-decade mating rituals. Once the ritual is over, they shed their skulls and begin their hunt anew until their next mating season.

Right, so, Skulltakers, huh? These Tau Ceti guys sound like real charmers. Chaotic evil skull collectors, talk about a dating profile red flag! Seriously, though, the AC 3 and HD 6 stats tell you they're not messing around. I remember DMing a game once where a similarly themed monster, a bone golem, nearly wiped out my party. That golem was a real block breaker forcing them to rethink their tactics completely. Good times...mostly.
