These creatures are the rural cousins of Hungry Houses. Like Hungry Houses they mostly lie in wait for prey to come to them. A related species which actively hunts its prey is the Jumping Castle (although it is said by some that Jumping Castles are the younger, more active members of the same species).
Very cool. Similar to Wellman's gardinel, but the active hunting part is a great touch.
ReplyDeleteThanks. The inspiration was a Judges Guild product, which had various ruins. They said you could use them as part of a module, or have them as 'wandering ruins', by which they meant randomly pick one during the adventure.
