STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 12 (+1) 12 (+1) 16 (+3) 10 (+0) 10 (+0) 8 (-1) Saving Throws Con +5 Skills Perception +2, Performance +1 Proficiency Bonus +2 Senses passive Perception 12 Languages understands Common but can't speak it Challenge 4 (1,100 XP) Illumination. The gheegur emits dim light in a 10-foot radius. Radiation Aura. At the start of each of the gheegur's turns, each creature within 15 feet of it must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, taking 7 (2d6) poison damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. ACTIONS Multiattack. The gheegur makes two claw attacks. Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d8 + 1) slashing damage. Haunting Howl. The gheegur elicits a horrible screaming sound from the pipes on its body. Everyone within hearing distance of the gheegur must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw or be paralyzed until the end of its next turn. If a creature's saving throw is successful, the creature is immune to the Haunting Howl of all gheegurs for the next 24 hours.

Wandering the caves, abandoned mines and mountain tops of the world, no one knows how the gheegur had come to be. The running theory is that a wizard of some kind had been experimenting with strange, glowing rocks with supernatural properties. These glowing green rocks had horribly affected the test subjects, turning them into the monstrosity that they are today. Piping had been inserted into these creatures to allow them the ability to breathe easily. Without these pipes, the creature's breathing would result in terrible growls and screaming, as its airways and lungs had been wrecked from continuous exposure to the rocks. Despite their seemingly hellish existence, the gheegur does not take it out on others, and instead wanders abandoned mines, eating the green rocks that people believe have led to its creation. While not healthy for it, it seems that the sheer concentration of rocks has caused a sort of harming aura to radiate off of them, hurting those that come into close contact with them. It's not unheard of for groups of gheegur to settle in abandoned mines and pick it everything that could give them sustenance. These now inhabited mines are considered death traps, and only the bravest, or dumbest, of adventurers dare to plunge into their depths.
