Guildmasters Guide To Ravnica

KRA SIS

In the deep sinkholes that serve as

laboratories and guildhalls for the

Simic Combine, biomancers employ

a combination of magic and scientific

method to create novel life forms. They coax new

morphologies from existing creatures or combine

traits from multiple organisms into one, producing the

creatures known as krasis. Some krasis are unique

creatures that can't reproduce. A few multiply and be-

come part of the guild's standard menagerie.

C REATING A KRASIS

To create a krasis, choose the appropriate stat block:

category 1 (Medium), category 2 (Large), or category 3

(Huge). Then roll once on the Major Adaptations table

and once on the Minor Adaptations table (or choose

an option from each table) to determine its additional

characteristics. The potency of some adaptations varies

based on the category of the krasis, as indicated in the

descriptions of those adaptations.

Just a few examples of krasis are the battering kra-

sis (a fusion of hammerhead shark and a powerfully

built beast), the crocanura (a crocodile-frog), the

drakewing krasis (a lizard-drake), the teratosuchus (a

crocodile-crab), the shambleshark (a shark-crab), and

the sharktocrab (an improved shambleshark that in-

cludes octopus elements as well).
