UPPER DUNGEONS LEVEL THREE 48 A GUG BEAR.

48 A GUG BEAR. This room smells unclean. A giant figure squats in the darkness.

The Gug Bear (AC 4; MV 12”. HD 8+1; hp 37; #AT 4 claws; D 1d4+4 (x4); SA Grab and bite for 1d8+6; XP 1644)

This huge bizarre mutation of a bugbear has four arms ending in claw-like hands possessing terrible strength. Its mouth runs vertically in its head. This creature can attack up to four different targets with its claws. If it hits a man-sized or smaller target with two claws, it may bring that victim to its maw where it may automatically bite for an additional 1d8+6 damage. Thereafter it holds the victim there, biting automatically every round (and foregoing two claw attacks). A victim of exceptional strength (18 %) may try to break free, having to roll under their % score in order to do so. Thus, any character with a 18(00) or higher may automatically break free after the first round of mauling.

The gug bear keeps a chest holding 914 Jalluxian gold dragon coins, 17 Jalluxian platinum imperial coins, and a silver cup worth 300 gold crescents.
