If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 11 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. Hard Stomach. The hlaupa can eat almost anything, and has advantage on saving throws against poison. Relentless (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). If the hlaupa takes damage that would reduce it to 0 hit points, it is reduced to 1 hit point instead. ACTIONS Hooves. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (2d4 + 2) bludgeoning damage. Tusk. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage.

Ivory tusks jut out from the drooling maw of this large beast’s wide neck, its dark porcine eyes, mighty antlers, and thick black hooves standing out against the white fur covering its girthy body. Small herds of hlaupa live on mountainsides where predators can be scarce but plants—even snowed in vegetation and alpine needles—are in abundance, providing ample food regardless of the season. Most “ice pigs” live in the wild but they are frequently the domesticated beasts of choice for mountain towns, usable as mounts, beasts of burden, sustenance in harsh winters, means of disposing refuse, and even for combat.
