Girallons are the savage, four-armed, magical cousins of the gorilla. An adult girallon is about 8 feet tall, broad-chested, and covered in thick fur. It weighs about 800 pounds. A solitary girallon usually conceals itself, attacking with surprise. When a girallon spots or smells prey, it charges. A girallon picks up prey that is small enough to carry and withdraws, often vanishing into the trees before the victim’s companions can retaliate.
Special Abilities
Rend: A girallon that hits with two or more claw attacks latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an extra 2d4 points of damage.
