4e:Behemoth

A behemoth is a gigantic reptilian beast that relies on its size and ferocity to drive off enemies or kill its prey.

Skinwing Behemoth

Skinwing behemoths nest in craggy mountains and high cliffs. Thieves steal skinwing eggs or hatchlings to sell to armies and mercenaries seeking an aerial advantage. Skinwings are vicious, however, and careless nest robbers have lost more than their livelihood when a hatchling's parents have returned to find the thieves.

A skinwing behemoth is very clumsy on land, so will prefer to stay in the air and swoop back and forth at its targets. If tamed, its rider may be wielding spears or harpoons so as to attack from a distance.

Whiptail Behemoth

The biggest of all behemoths, sporting a tremendously long neck and tail, the whiptail behemoth is something of a peaceful grazer most of the time. But when threatened it is frighteningly dangerous, capable of crushing smaller creatures under its feet.

When under threat, the whiptail behemoth will use its slam on anything within range. If pushed or panicked, it will use its trample to simultaneously move away from the threat and crush it into the ground.
