Default Fear the Grendelkin!

See the attached pic.

Comments very welcome. I'm thinking he will be a water/earth summon (coming, as he does, from watery caves). Also having him be cross-path should make him a little rarer - we don't want grendelkin running around all over the place.

Pretty sweet. Maybe something could be done to jazz up his melee a bit? I mean I guess he does hit like a truck..... "Claw" just seems so uninteresting.

Also, perhaps he should get some natural reinvig, and maybe be amphibious, or poor amphibian at least?

I think amphibian would fit. Very cool, llamabeast!

Thanks guys!

Regarding amphibiousness: He does like water, but I can't see him wandering around on the sea bed (grendels don't like salt), so I'm not sure how well amphibian would fit.

As for reinvig etc: The real power of the guy is his full slots, which mean you can make up for any particular deficiencies like fatigueing. I don't think natural reinvig is necessarily thematic though, since it's a pretty rare thing in vanilla dominions.

Any ideas for alternatives to "claws"? And yes, he does hit like a truck! My first one got heroic strength, and rapidly reached strength 103! Smackdown!

By the way, at the moment he has fear +10 (he's very very big!) and cold res 50% (it can get cold in damp caves). Do you reckon fear +10 is too much?

Fear also the Roc! (see attached)

This one will be an air summon, obviously. He has fear+0, 50% storm resist, patrol bonus 20 and siege bonus 20 (drops big rocks) at the moment. Again, suggestions welcome.

Edit: Oh whoops, there's some bugs in that picture, and unfortunately I don't have time to fix them now. Please ignore the roc's armour! His natural protection is 12. Also I think I need to get rid of the repetitious "Such is the..."s.
