Included beast templates are: Badger¸ Bear¸ Eagle¸ Horse¸ Octopus¸ Rhino¸ Scorpion¸ Shark¸ Spider¸ Tiger¸ Toad¸ and Wolf.
- The CR 5 Amphisbaena is a venomous snake with a second head where its tail should be. Typically dwelling in deserts¸ amphisbaena have the unique hunting strategy of interlocking their fangs and curling into hoops that can roll rapidly down the dunes at their prey. After knocking a victim prone and coiling around their body to restrain them¸ both of the amphisbaena's heads proceed to inject powerful venom with their bites.
