A Gorophont is a centaur-type creature with the upper body of a gorilla and the lower body of a small elephant. It is a fierce territorial creature, and typically fights with a very large lance.
Special Abilities
Alertness: Only has a 1 in 6 chance of being surprised.
Tracking: A gorophont has a 1 in 6 chance of casually observing tracks on the road, and a 3 in 6 chance to actively track a quarry; against known quarries, this increases to a 5 in 6 chance.
Variants
Silverback
(1 in 10 chance)
These have an extra +2 to any damage roll, a morale score of 12, and are worth 1,150 XP. Any gorophont fighting alongside a silverback counts its morale as if it were 12; the loss of a silverback results in a morale check with a -6 penalty.
