Tigbanua[edit]

| By Brian Valeza |
The tigbanua is a vicious and vile creature of Kara-Tur. They are known to hunt travelers from within their wooded areas and are known to be filthy cannibals with a fear of canines. Their dirty claws are infamous for being able to inflict a terrible curse which changes other humanoids into lesser beings of their kind, called tagmalings. They speak a strange language called Buso, which is known only to their kind.
Tigbanua Tactics[edit]
Tigbanua use their fearful aura to strike an opponent into fear, thus making them weak. Then they attack all they can with their claws. Infecting a victim is not a goal of theirs, but it is a useful side-effect. Tagmalings on the other hand do not have a fearful aura, nor can they inflict the tagmaling curse, and so they can only attack as minions know.
Tigbanua Lore[edit]
A character knows the following information with a successful Nature check.
DC 15: Tigbanua are corrupted forms of cannibalistic giants of the woodlands.
DC 20: The claws of a tigbanua are known for being as dirty as the rest of their filthy body. It is said this filthy is contagious and can turn another humanoid into a tigbanua minion called a tagmaling.
DC 25: The tigbanua's greatest fear is a dog. Thus, people in Kara-Tur often will travel through forests with a dog to protect themselves. Upon seeing a dog, tigbanua tend to flee immediately.
Encounter Groups[edit]
A tigbanua comes with usually about two to six of its own kind, and a varying number of tagmaling minion. Their presence tends to be repugnant to other creatures, so they are not usually in cooperation with others not of their own.
