Foreword
Hello Everyone,
Below you will find the accumulated creations since the creation of my patreon. These creatures found in this Patron Monster Manual were requested by my HR 4 and up patrons that had an idea or a creature they wished to be created into a monster stat block.
These creatures were all created by me, using the CR set by the patron in addition to other ideas they had for the creatures. In many cases I was left to my own decisions beyond the CR of the creature. I have labeled them in the table of contents by their origin so that you are aware of where they came from.
In some cases you may not agree with the CR and that is okay, but I have no intention of ever changing them because this is what my patron wanted. That isn't to say, that you can't adjust and change them to fit your world and idea of the creature. In fact I encourage you to do so if it lets you use these creatures in your games. Overall I just hope you enjoy these creatures and that at least some of you get a chance to use them.
Finally, I would like to thank all my patrons for their support. Without them, this manual would not exist and I wouldn't be nearly as far as I am with my Monster Hunter project as I am. You are all awesome. For everyone else, I always love to hear feedback on my work. Feel free to reach out to me if you ever notice a mistake, have a question, or just like it and want to let me know.
Enjoy,
Amellwind

If the creature looks, while within 120 feet of Urizen, in the meantime, it must immediately make the save.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage. If the dragon moved at least 20 feet straight toward the target immediately before the hit, the target takes an extra 11 (2d10) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 21 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 10 feet away and knocked prone.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) slashing damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 16) and is restrained until this grapple ends. The dragon can have only one creature grappled this way at a time.
Stomp. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 21 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the dragon's Malevolent Presence for the next 24 hours. A creature charmed in this way fixates on another creature or object that the dragon mentally chooses and must, on each of its turns, move as close as it can to that target and use its action to make a melee attack against it. If the dragon doesn't choose a target, the charmed creature can act normally on its turn.

On a failed save, a creature takes 45 (10d8) poison damage, is poisoned for 1 minute and all food and drinks on them rot. While poisoned in this way, the creature the creature deals only half damage with weapon attacks. The poisoned target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't poisoned.
Bonus Actions

Mindless Construct. The clockwork spy automatically succeeds on all Constitution and Intelligence saving throws.
Record Audio. As a bonus action, the clockwork spy can record nearby sounds, archiving all sounds within a 20-foot radius onto a small gemstone worth 50 gp embedded in its body. The clockwork spy can record up to 1 hour of sound. Starting and stopping playback of recorded sound is a bonus action.
Removing a gemstone or installing a gemstone into a clockwork spy requires a DC 20 Intelligence (tinker's tools) or Dexterity (sleight of hand) check. Failing this check does not damage the gemstone, but does erase any recorded sounds on it.
Since clockwork spies are not intelligent, they must be given simple commands as to when they are to start recording sounds. A clockwork spy can differentiate between creature types and subtypes, but not between specific individuals. Once a clockwork spy begins recording sound, it cannot cease recording early. Likewise, it cannot record sound onto a gemstone that already contains a recording.Self-Destruct. Unless specifically programmed otherwise by its creator, a clockwork spy explodes 1 round after it is reduced to 0 hit points. During this round, the thing shrieks and thrashes about as if undergoing convulsions. When it explodes, each creature in a 5-foot radius around it must make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3 (1d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
Before the clockwork spy explodes, a creature can make a DC 15 Intelligence (tinker's tools) or Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check, disabling the self-destruct sequence on a successful check. A clockwork spy that self-destructs automatically destroys its gemstone, along with any information contained inside it.Winding. The clockwork spy must be wound with special keys in order to function. Once fully wound, the clockwork spy can remain active for a total of 24 hours, before needing to be wound again. While turned off, the clockwork spy is considered stunned.

Multiattack. Odin makes three weapon attacks.

Possession (Recharge 6). One humanoid that Odin can see within 19 miles of him must succeed on a DC 27 Charisma saving throw or be possessed by Odin; Odin then disappears, and the target is incapacitated and loses control of its body. Odin now controls the body but doesn't deprive the target of awareness. Odin can't be targeted by any attack, spell, or other effect, and it retains its alignment, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, and immunity to being charmed and frightened. It otherwise uses the possessed target's statistics, but doesn't gain access to the target's knowledge, class features, or proficiencies.
&bsnp; The possession lasts until the body drops to 0 hit points, Odin ends it as a bonus action, or Odin is turned or forced out. When the possession ends, Odin reappears in an unoccupied space within
19 miles of the body. The target is immune to this Odin's Possession for 24 hours after succeeding on the saving throw or after the possession ends.
Legendary Actions
Odin can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Odin regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Move. Odin moves up to his speed.
Attack. Odin makes one melee weapon attack with his gungnir.
Cast a Spell (Costs 2 Actions). Odin casts a spell from his list of prepared spells, using a spell slot as normal.
Reactions
Parry. Odin adds 9 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, Odin must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.
Gungnir
Weapon (spear), Artifact (requires attunement)
Odin’s magical spear that always hits its mark and always kills. Gungnir means “Swaying one” it is made from Yggdrasils Sacred Ash. Odin has also written his magic runes, onto Gungnir.
Magic Weapon. The Gungnir is a magic weapon that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it, its thrown range is increased to 100/300, and when you hit a target with this weapon, the target takes an extra 4d10 lightning damage.
Random Properties. The axe has the following randomly determined properties:
- 2 minor beneficial properties
- 1 major beneficial property
- 2 minor detrimental properties
Frightful Presence. When gungnir is thrown. Each hostile creature that can see gungnir as it travels along its path, must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened by the spear and its wielder for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the Gungnir's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.
Return. Immediately after a ranged attack, the weapon flies back to your hand.
Runic Aim. Gungnir has a number of runes inscribed on it. When you attack with this weapon, you can expend one or more spell slot to add the total number of spell slot levels used to your weapon attack. You can choose to expend the spell slots before or after making the attack roll, but before knowing the result.
If you hit the creature after expending the spell slots, you deal an extra 5 damage times the total spell slot level expended as force damage..
Curse. Gungnir bears a curse that effects anyone that attunes to it. Even if the attunement ends, the cures remains. While cursed in this way, you are plagued nightly with dreams of a giant wolf killing you and you are frightened of wolves even if you would normally be immune to the effect.
Destroying Gungnir. When a creature attuned to and wielding gungnir is killed by a wolf or wolf-like creature, gungnir becomes a nonmagical spear. It is said that when gungnir power is lost, ragnarok begins.

Pulling in the target releases anyone else who was attached to the tendril. Venom can only grapple up to 2 creatures at a time with its tendril.
Sticky Webbing (True Form Only, Recharge 5-6). Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 30/60 ft., up to 2 creatures within 5 feet of each other. Hit: The target is restrained by webbing.

Scalding Slime. A creature that is slick due to one of the miztusune's actions, traits, or abilities takes 3 (1d6) fire damage at the start of its turns. This damage is increased by an extra 3 (1d6) fire damage for each turn the creature remains slick and has not had the slick condition removed from them since the start of their last turn.
Actions
Multiattack. The mizutsune makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its tail.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 25 (3d12 + 6) bludgeoning damage. On hit, the creature is slick. On a hit or miss, a boom bubble appears in an unoccupied space adjacent to the target.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (3d8 + 6) piercing damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 14).

Bubble Prison. Range Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one Large or smaller creature. Hit: The creature is slick and enclosed in a bubble of shimmering force for 1 minute or until the bubble is
destroyed. Nothing, not physical objects, energy, or other spell effects, can pass through the bubble, in or out, though a creature in the Sphere can breathe there. A creature inside of the bubble has disadvantage on attacks due to its slippery nature. The bubble can be attacked and destroyed (AC 15, 40 hit points, Immune to all damage except slashing and piercing). At the end of the mizutsune's turn all bubbles with a creature inside rise 10 feet higher into the air.
A creature that starts its turn in a bubble, takes 3 (1d6) fire damage. A creature that remains in a bubble for 1 minute must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or gain 1 level of exhaustion. The creature repeats this saving throw at the start of each of its turns, until it escapes the bubble.Hydropump (Recharge 5-6).

Boom Boom Bubbles (recharge 6). The mizutsune magically causes two of the bubbles in a 300-foot radius of it to grow in size. Each bubble fills a 10-foot cube and has one of two properties; explosive or healing. To determine which is which, roll a d2. On a 1, the closest bubble to the mizutsune has the healing property. On a 2, the furthest bubble to the mizutsune has the healing property.
The bubbles are immune to all damage, have a fly (hover) speed of 30 feet, and pop when they come into contact with a creature. When the healing bubble pops, all creatures in a 5-foot-radius sphere around it regain 14 (4d6) hit points. When the explosive bubble pops, each creature in a 20-foot radius takes 21 (6d6) fire damage.
At the start of the mizutsune's turn, the two bubbles move in a straight line towards the mizutsune. If the healing bubble touches the mizutsune, it regains 60 (11d10) hit points. If the explosive bubble touches the mizutsune, the bubble doubles in size before exploding and each creature in a 40-foot-radius sphere of the explosive bubble takes 42 (12d6) fire damage and the area is covered in an oily substance as if by the bubble pop trait.Legendary Actions

50 (1d10 x 10) feet away from the mizutsune. If a Large or bigger object is in its path, it bounces off it and continues to travel the rest of its distance back towards the mizutsune. If it reaches the mizutsune again, it will also bounce off of it until it has traveled its maximum distance.
If a Large or smaller creature is in a bubble's path, it must succeed on a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw or be trapped in the bubble as if hit by the bubble prison attack. On a successful save, the creature moves 5 feet into an unoccupied space out of the bubbles path and the bubble continues to move until it hits the next creature or it travels its maximum distance.
If a bubble touches a boom bubble along its path, the bubble merges into a larger boom bubble that fills a 10-foot cubed area. If a creature is in the boom bubbles new space, it explodes.
A bubble that travels its maximum distance without hitting a creature remains in the space it stops in and becomes a boom bubble.Reactions

The creature must then succeed on a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone or pushed 10 feet away from the mizutsune in a direction of the mizutsune's choice.

Equal Hunter Dragon Generation 2
The equal hunter weapons, or "EHW" for short, were meant as a replacement for hunters during the time of the ancient civilization. The first to be created were basic, only capable of collecting herbs, gathering mushrooms, and if lucky they were able to kill a bulldrome without being completely destroyed. They were closer to robots than the final generations of EHW's that fought in the great dragon war.
The second generation of EHWs were still constructs like their predecessors before, but they were far more advanced. Their armor was made of rare ores like machalite or dragonite. They were able to wield the same weapons the hunters could use, but with more power and accuracy. The second generation were the first to surpass basic hunters, but they still remained mindless. For the ancient civilization they were perfect for gathering basic materials from some of the tougher creatures like the rathian or rathalos without the risk of losing the life of one of their hunters. Once given a task this generation of EHWs pursued their goal, only returning once it was completed and never letting anything stand in their way.
Equal Hunter Dragon Generation 7
According to ancient scholars there was only ever one generation 7 equal hunter weapon ever created. It was the final prototype before the ancient civilization began their construction of the equal dragon weapons. Its power is believed to be almost on par with the equal dragon weapon, but not much else is known about it.
Throughout history rumors have spread of warforged hearing an unknown voice in their head, calling to them, and occasionally aiding them in their plights.

Lead Poisoning
This poison originates from the metallic scales of a Kushala Daora and Yian Garuga hybrid. As the creature strikes with its claws, tiny flakes of its scales embed into the wounds of its victims. A creature subjected to this poison is poisoned until cured.
Each day at dawn, following the initial exposure, the afflicted creature must repeat the saving throw, increasing the DC by 1 each day up to a maximum DC of 20. On a second failed save, the creature has disadvantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma checks. On a third failed save, the creature's speed is reduced by half and it can't take reactions. On a fourth failed save, the creature is paralyzed for 1d4 hours. On the fifth save and each subsequent save after, The creature falls into a coma for 1d6 days. A creature in a coma is unconscious and cannot be woken by any means short of magic such as greater restoration or similar powerful healing spells.
The poison can be treated with lesser restoration. When cast on an poisoned creature, it suppresses the effects of the two newest failed save effects for 24 hours. The poisoned creature is cured of the poison when the greater restoration or a similar powerful healing spell is cast on it. Additionally, a successful DC 15 Medicine check using appropriate medical supplies and a full day of care reduces the DC of the next saving throw by 2.

Mechan Rathian
The Mecha Rathian is a variation of the traditional Rathian, the female counterpart of the Rathalos, and part of the Flying Wyvern classification.
There are notable changes between the common Rathian and its Mecha version, here are some of them:
- A Mecha Rathian has been mechanically adjusted with brand-new enhanced body parts, such as mechanical claws and tails, improved eyes, or even reinforced exoskeletons.
- A Mecha Rathian is far more threatening and powerful than the common Rathian, their mechanical joints can produce strikes even stronger than the ones of a fully grown Rathalos.
Anatomy
The common Rathian isn't greatly different from a Mecha Rathian, they share common traits such as size, lifespan, and internal structure. They are typically known to weigh a vast amount more due to the augments. This weight makes it difficult to fly, and as such the rathian's behavior deviates from its usual willingness to fly, instead choosing to fly only when necessary.
The skeleton of a Mecha Rathian has also been improved with metal parts near the joints and in the most vulnerable areas like the head, the neck, and in the abdomen. Cutting its neck is almost impossible with a normal sword. Though its diet remains unchanged, a mechanical Rathian has a hard time living in a natural environment instead of a human one. This is because it hasn't grown up with the standard ways of survival that a common Rathian knows. Its lifespan would also be greatly shortened by the lack of maintenance for its metal parts.

Deadly Leap. If the versa pietru jumps at least 15 feet as part of its movement, it can then use this action to land on its feet in a space that contains one or more other creatures. Each of those creatures must succeed on a DC 27 Strength or Dexterity saving throw (target's choice) or be knocked prone and take 37 (6d8 + 10) bludgeoning damage. On a successful save, the
creature takes only half the damage, isn't knocked prone, and is pushed 5 feet out of the versa pietru's space into an unoccupied space of the creature's choice. If no unoccupied space is within range, the creature instead falls prone in the versa pietru's space.

Blink At the end of the great girros's turn roll a d20. On a roll of 11 or higher, the great girros vanishes from its current plane of existence, ending all conditions afflicting it, and appears in the Ethereal Plane (the trait fails if it is already on that plane). At the start of the great girros's next turn, roll a d20. On a roll of 11 or higher, the great girros ends all conditions afflicting it and returns to an unoccupied space of its choice that it can see within 10 feet of the space it vanished from. If no unoccupied space is available within that range, the great girros appears in the nearest unoccupied space (chosen at random if more than one space is equally near).
While on the Ethereal Plane, the great girros can only be affected by other creatures on the Ethereal Plane, but its Fang and Claw attacks can target creatures on the plane of existence they vanished from.

On a failed save the creature takes 21 (6d6) psychic damage minus two dice for each failed save (see below), and it can see 30 feet into the ethereal plane and interact with the plane until the end of its next turn (including attacking creatures it can see). On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.
If it successfully saves against this venom three times, the effect ends and the creature is immune to the great girros' cerebral calcification venom for 24 hours, but it is able to see great girros in the ethereal plane and interact with them until it is no longer immune to the venom.If it fails its saves three times, the venom's effects manifest as follows until freed by the greater restoration spell or other magic that cures petrification:
- The affected creature becomes incapacitated, rendering it unable to move, speak, or perceive its surroundings.
- Attack rolls against the creature have advantage.

After absorbing the bones, the bone shifter size increases by one size, and its melee weapon attacks deal an extra 1d# (where # is equal to the damage die the bone weapon is currently using) and its reach increases by 5 feet for each size above Medium.
Bone Armor. The bone shifter can use its bonus action to reduce its size by one (to a minimum of Small) and cover itself in bone-like armor. While covered in these bones, its AC is 18. If the bone shifter takes 30 or more damage from a single attack, the armor is destroyed.
Brittle Body. If the bone shifter takes thunder damage or force damage, it must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or become stunned until the start of its next turn.

A humanoid host can carry only one bone shifter egg to term at a time. Over three months, the egg moves to the chest cavity, gestates, and forms a bone shifter larvae. In the 24-hour period before giving birth, the host starts to feel unwell, its speed is halved, and it has disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. At birth, the larvae liquidates the host's bones and bursts out of the host's chest in 1 round, killing the host in the process.
If the disease is cured before the bone shifter's emergence, the unborn bone shifter is disintegrated.Legendary Actions

Ceratog
An incredibly aggressive roaming apex predator that takes the term territorial to a new level. No one knows how they mate since they attack another Ceratog on sight. An invasive species that can completely destroy the local ecology by pushing out the dominant predators or just killing them entirely. Its entire hide is a spiked exoskeleton for defense. During dissection of specimens it was discovered to also have a reinforced skeleton as well. The monster has 2 sets of interdependent jaws, inner and outer, and a reinforced skull plate that deflects head on magical attacks.
Its eyes are chameleon like allowing the creature an advanced set of visual awareness. That being said even the lids over the eyes are bone plated.
Stories are often told of villages and large towns being abandoned due to a roaming Ceratog coming into the area. As well as other tales of a single one dessemating sizable armies due to the underestimated intelligence of the monster. During stealth observations it was found that the Ceratog had been spotted setting up ambushes and digging pitfalls. These observations tend to be short as the Ceratogs hearing and smelling seem to be acute.

Helioralis
The Eden Plains is a savanna where distance is not measured in length but in time. It takes 4 years to cross this vast grassy plain through and through; that's assuming your vehicle can travel at 60 mph and doesn't need to stop for fuel.
The Eden plains is prone to wildfires that span nations, the resulting smoke clouds can blot the sun causing a temporary ice age. The ice eventually melts and soaks the area revitalizing the ground along with the thawed ash allowing fresh vegetation to grow. The sun evaporates the water causing mass storms, eventually the lightning strikes from the storms will cause a wildfire and their cycle will repeat. the vastness of the Eden plains allows all 3 states to exist at once including its neutral dry state.
Amidst this ever changing plains lies its apex predator; its scientific name, Helioconacidus Australis. We call it the Helioralis.
The creature is large in size, slightly bigger than a standard elephant but with a tad more intelligent. The creature is very territorial and carnivores, wrapping up its catch with its serrated trunk and shredding it for easy consumption. anything it can't catch, it'll try to fling its razors to make its prey bleed.
It can't sneak due to its size so it relies on tiring out its prey. it'll walk through the night using its night vision to chase out dens at night to keep its prey from resting. it'll utilize its sensitive trunk by laying in on the ground or inside holes and feel around for any movement that vibrates through the ground.
Due to the fact that it's an apex predator it is extremely difficult to frighten if not impossible. If anything it'll consider that a challenge for its harem of females'.
Its hide is tough and resistant to slashing due to its dueling with other males and the razors on the trunks.
The Helioralis has adapted to this weather in the best possible way. its hide will absorb the elementals no matter how small. allowing it to change form and utilize the power. it can fling shards of ice, shoot lightning, and even spew fire.
Its natural habitat is the Eden Plains but its known to wander to hot and cold areas due to its elemental properties.
There are even myths of an Apex amongst Apex's, The Helio-Con. its form changes entirely into 1 of 3 different states; Infernal Helio-Con, Permafrost Helio-Con, or the Hurricane Helio-Con. of course, these are just myths..I hope.

Razors. Ranged Weapon Attack. +10 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d10 + 5) slashing damage.
Reactions
Elemental Reflection. If the helioralis makes a successful saving throw against a spell that targets it and deals cold, fire, or lighting damage; or a spell attack that deals cold, fire, or lighting damage misses it, the helioralis can choose another creature (including the spellcaster) it can see within 120 feet of it. The spell targets the chosen creature instead of the helioralis. If the spell forces a saving throw, the chosen creature makes its own save. If the spell was an attack, the attack roll is rerolled against the chosen creature.

Maré-haré-na
There exist a world that has been separated from all the multiverse by the collected power of every god in fear of the power that lies within its denizens. Only a single warrior on that world, known as "Knight", has the individual power to undo the gods actions and, if he chose, undo the gods themselves.
Fortunalty "Knight" understands the gods actions and does not condone them for he himself cannot control his own raw infinite magic power. A power so vast that it bleeds into the the multiverse giving magic throughout creation and into every known and unknown reality. This is the source of all magic and the highest guarded secret in creation.
There are brief moments when "Knight" comes into contact with objects and creatures, accidently creating artifacts that can create a god amongst gods or warping creatures to become reality bending abominations.
This is the case with the creature, a tarrasque from the forgotten realms that was accidently conjured by the Knight. His raw and pure magic twisted and warped this creature beyond understanding. Its physical properties altered and mental constitution evolved. It was put back from where it was taken, this new creatures form adjusting to fit its reality. It brings power with it, unlike anything this universe has seen with properties that defy logic even by magical means. It rampages throughout the world starving for the magic it was once hosted to in a neverending rampage of hunger and pain.
An army is not enough to grab its attention. A continent is enough to slow it down. The gods fear that they might have to risk their lives to stop this creature for it has eaten their champions whole.
Its rumored to have 3 forms, a physical primal form and tramples through everything. After its physical form becomes damaged enough it begins to shed its form and reveal its twisted magical self. Finally after its 2nd form has completely shed its enters its 3rd pure magical form that's not fit for this reality.
It cannot be killed. Its energy can only be dissipated until it eventually reshapes itself and wrecks havoc once more. The gods have named it Maré-haré-na; it has no equal.
Creator's Note
As this is beyond the standard d&d challenge rating, I cannot promise complete balance for this creature. It is a game ender and realistically should never be used versus a normal party, but instead versus other gods and armies that the player might work with.

Omniclaw
The creature "Omniclaw" was first sighted during the exploration of the Echo Storm Crags. The expidition team was caught off guard as almost no complex life can survive the crag, but fortunately for the team there was a single warrior with the moniker of "Heavy" that came prepared for almost every situation.
After several skirmishes Heavy and a peculiar zoologist, Rodrigo-Vega, managed to learn about this creatures fighting styles and natural habbits.
The Omniclaw is a multi limbed creature sporting 5 appendages that double as its legs and arms with a central mass at its center; similar to a spider with just the thorax.
Each limb seems to have evolved to deal a specific type of damage or to function a specific battle technique; disarming, grappling, and even preventing fleeing while causing its prey to bleed. It's common for the creature to rush into battle with brute force. The creatures eyes are poor and is deafened, explaing why it can survive the crags. It uses a style of tremor sense to differentiate the constant vibrations with the abrupt
ones from its prey.
The Omniclaws tremor sense is weak and has fairly limited range, explain its recklessness incombat. To make up for this the creatures seem to fight each other at a young age to toughen their hide. So they can endure hits until they move into position. This combat habit has enabled it to become incredibly resilient in battle preventing even the strongest hits from dealing their most damaging potential. However it was very quickly discovered that suffers from a very simple mind and is not very intelligent outside of combat.
Heavys recommendation is to use magic spells that arnt sound based as those will have near no effect, as well it will draw more attention since it will be a different sound that it's not used to feeling.
Rodrigo-Vegas findings also showed that these creatures had unknown battle scars that shared no similarities from it's own kind, labeling the omniclaw as a threat level "Creature"; a measly 2/5, meaning there are even more dangerous creatures lurking deeper in the Echo Storm Crags.

Variant rule
If you happen to have red dirt mixed with a generous amount of pepper. Just toss that on the ground or on the creature. The jelly parts of the creature react violently to that mixture, causing it to dry up and fall off or expand and burst. They become almost ten times more manageable without those tendrils.
Polipoda Flagelata
Like a combination between a jellyfish and an arthropod; hence the name.
They are aquatic-land dwellers coming up to the surface for wood. The reason for the wood seems to be undefined. Some suggest they absorb the oil and resin as food, others claim it’s a mating gift. No one really knows for sure but since wood is a “source” of something for them; unknown shorelines to an adventurer are prime danger zones. They seem to have no interest in metal infused woods though, they are almost never found by mineral heavy shores.
For the most part these things are docile so long as you stay out of their way, and I mean out of their way. Otherwise they won’t stop attacking until they run low on numbers, or you’re dead. It’s hard to tell what its legs are and what its arms are since it uses its tendrils to grab things as well as walk, just as it uses its hard spear like appendages to sting as well as get around.
