GRUUL CREATURES

Many dangerous creatures haunt the rubblebelts and
other places the Gruul Clans inhabit.

BEASTS
Gruu I territory is full of beasts of all sizes. Herds of gi-
ant boars (see the Monster Manual) called batterboars
roam the rubblcbelts; each batterboar can grow to be
the size of a mammoth (as in the Monster Manual), and
the passage of a herd can shake the ground and topple
buildings. Maaka (use the saber-toothed tiger stat block
from the Monster Manual) are territorial cats, about 15
feet long, with six eyes. They typically keep to the rub-
blebelts, though from time to time they are spotted amid
tended groves and gardens.
Any beast described in this book or in the Monster
Manual can roam the rubblebelts. The Gruul can bring
out the fury in these beasts. turning them into rage-
beasts. Ragebeasts often have the Reckless and Siege
Monster traits:
Reckless. At the start of its turn, the ragebeast can gain advan·
tage on all melee weapon attack rolls it makes during that turn,
but attack rolls against it have advantage until the start of its
next turn.

Siege Monster. The ragebeast deals double damage to objects
and structures.

ELEMENTALS
Gruul shamans channel primal energies to summon
raging fire elementals that blaze ahead of marauding
Gruul bands. Or they transform the rubble and detritus
of civilization into earth elementals, twisted through
with choking vines. that literally give new life to the ruin
of the city. These elementals are intensely destructive,
but they last only as long as the magic used to summon
them persists.

GIANTS
Nearly all the Gruul Clans include hill giants. stone gi-
ants, cyclopes. ogres, ettins, and fomorians among their
number, and one clan-the Bolrac clan- is composed
entirely of such brutes.

HYDRAS
Once a hydra chooses a lair and declares the surround-
ing land its territory, it's almost impossible to drive the
creature out. The Gruul revere these multiheaded pred-
ators as vestiges of the ancient times before the guilds
took over the world. They don't kill hydras for trophies,
but pulling a spine from a hydra's neck is a mark of great
bravery among the Gruul.

lZZET CREATURES

Izzet laboratories are staffed with attendants (common-

ers) and chemisters (mages). Pixies and sprites (called

ratchet faeries) find employment among the lzzet work-

ing on projects that are too small for other races.

The lzzet League employs elementals formed from the

combination of two or more elemental forces, including

mephits of the smoke, steam. ice, and magma varieties.
