Bestiary
Creatures of Concord
Rabite
(recommended Level: Low)
Adorable little lapine puffballs that all too often make nuisances of themselves. They can put up a surprising fight by biting and bludgeoning, though it hardly makes them threatening.
Monster Hunter Armor Bonus: Cotton Ball - Reduces knockback received from attacks.
Butcher Technique: Lagomorph - Spend the turn looking hapless and cute; reduces likelihood of being attacked by an enemy.

Ghoul
(recommended Level: Low)
Shambling, glassy-eyed, half-rotten undead that occasionally lurch their way down from the mountains at night. They're slow and brainless, but their life-stealing hunger for flesh isn't to be underestimated.
Butcher Technique: Virulent Saliva - Using 'Chomp' also lowers the target's evasion.

Wharg
(recommended Level: Low+)
The tragic result of dogs interbreeding with the local monsters centuries ago. Thankfully largely solitary (though occasionally found in mated pairs), their piercing howl is almost as painful as their jaws.
Monster Hunter Armor Bonus: Warm Pelt - Reduces ice-elemental damage taken.
Butcher Technique: Piercing Howl - Attempts to silence one enemy.

Featheraptor
(recommended Level: Low+)
A new sighting in the area in recent months, these nimble reptilian pack hunters are small, but possess strong legs, sharp talons, many teeth, and a tendency to attack their prey in groups.
Monster Hunter Armor Bonus: Fleet Footed - Resistant to slowing and movement-impairing effects.
Butcher Technique: Long Stride - Consumes the user's action, but greatly increases the user's movement speed for the turn in which it's used.

Great Featheraptor
(recommended Level: Unknown)
The biggest and strongest among the Featherraptors, leading packs of their smaller bretheren into hunting and plundering. It balances on its thick, strong tail, and lashes out with its powerful legs.
Monster Hunter Armor Bonus: Knockout - Attacks with blunt weapons have a small chance to stun the target.
Butcher Technique: High Jump - 'Pounce' can be used on flying enemies to pin them to the ground for a turn.

Deadwoods Monster
(recommended Level: Medium+)
A tall, alien-looking creature that inscrutably drifts along, casually poisoning everything in its environment. While its physical strength is seemingly lackluster, the toxicity of its mere presence is not to be underestimated.
Butcher Technique: Miasma - Attempts to poison all nearby enemies. Reduces in effectiveness the more its used in a single battle.

Dire Cassowary
(recommended Level: Low+)
Bigger, stronger, and far more territorial and aggressive than their more mundane avian counterparts. Somehow. Thankfully not prone to congregating in large groups.
Monster Hunter Armor Bonus: Fleet Footed - Resistant to slowing and movement-impairing effects.
Butcher Technique: Talons - Kick attacks now gain the benefit of Knife Mastery.

Flail Snail
(recommended Level: Medium)
A slow, slimy gastropod famed for its magic-resistant shell. Normally docile or even oblivious, it fights viciously when provoked, attacking several times per round with its club-like tentacles.
Monster Hunter Armor Bonus: Indignation - 'Counterattack' deals increased damage
Butcher Technique: Nacre Barrier - Massively increases the target's magic defense. Breaks after being hit by magic.

Ivy Elemental
(recommended Level: Medium)
An animated plant with a territorial streak. Its lashing vines have long range and can ensnare unwary adventurers. Despite popular belief, it's not actually carnivorous, though that doesn't make it any less dangerous.
Butcher Technique: Synthesis - The Butcher doesn't need to eat and continually replenishes their nutrient reserves while under the effects of this ability. But where's the fun in that?

Anaconda
(recommended Level: Medium+)
A massive aquatic snake with frigid blood, freezing breath, and grouchy temperament. Usually foregoes trying to eat adventurers for fondness of easier prey, but that doesn't mean it's tolerant of company.
Monster Hunter Armor Bonus: Recovery UP - Healing from all sources is increased by a moderate amount.
Butcher Technique: Thickness - Increases overall health by a moderate amount... so long as the Butcher is well-fed.

Smilodon
(recommended Level: High)
A feline form seemingly composed entirely out of muscles and fangs. Deadly ambush predators that evidence suggests they preyed upon humanoids in early history. Evidence also suggests their modern descendents are still very fond of the idea.
Monster Hunter Armor Bonus: Evasion +1 - Evasion increased
Butcher Technique: Ambush - 'Pounce' is empowered if it's the first move used in battle.

Bladetail Tyrant
(recommended Level: ELITE)
A carnivorous colossus who's taken to tempering its own tail into a deadly, bladed weapon. As if that wasn't enough, it also breathes fire, often combining the two into devastating conflagrant swordplay. Few dare contest its seat on the throne of the Outlands.
Monster Hunter Armor Bonus: Handicraft - Slightly increases weapon attack damage, and the Monster Hunter can bypass abilities that increase defense.
Butcher Technique: Protective Polish - Improves the potency of the target's weapon attacks.

Thornlet
(recommended Level: Low)
A small, grouchy little elemental formed of dried plant matter that could be mistaken for an innocuous piece of tumbleweed. Attacks by whipping and rolling its body at people.
Butcher Technique: Toothpick - The Butcher gets increased stamina from their own prepared meals.

Blood Ooze
(recommended Level: Medium)
A demonic slime-type monster that looks like a congealed mass of blood. Coincidentally, its primary method of attack is to drain blood and steal health from its targets. Difficult to remove from one's own self.
Butcher Technique: Lifetap -The Butcher can sacrifice some of their health in order to heal an ally for double the amount.

Rock Wyvern
(recommended Level: Medium+)
Fond of high altitudes and strong winds, these winged reptiles are already agile fliers; they only become moreso when they use strange magic screeches to boost each others' attack and speed. This trait makes them particularly dangerous in groups.
Monster Hunter Armor Bonus: Latent Power - Every fourth turn of battle, your next attack is guaranteed to critically strike.
Butcher Technique: Battle Screech - Increases the power of allies' physical attacks for three turns.

Giant Solifuge
(recommended Level: High)
A fast, nimble monster with a double set of savage tearing fangs. Sometimes called a 'Sun spider' or 'Camel spider', a solifuge actually isn't a spider at all, though it is an arachnid. So at least the Starfallen have that going for them.
Monster Hunter Armor Bonus: Critical Eye - Gain a 1/5 chance of critically hitting an enemy.
Butcher Technique: Rending Fangs - Using 'Chomp' also weakens the target's defense.

Hellion
(recommended Level: High+)
Some sort of massive, magmatic worm-like creature known for idly burrowing and breaching in and out of arid and volcanic areas. It doesn't appear to actively hunt surface animals, but given how it's suffused with powerful fire magic and tends to spray fire and molten rock everywhere it goes, that's not much comfort.
Monster Hunter Armor Bonus: Infernal - High chance of inflicting Fear on low-level monsters when seen by them.
Butcher Technique: Pyroclasm - Creates a damaging aura of fire around the user for three turns.
