The Red Hunter has the gray fore-quarters of a bull and its body tapers
down to the long tail of a red snake with purple triangles on its back.
It is colour blind except for the colour red. It hates this colour and
will attack anything red or wearing red. Its stinking cloud breath attack
puts out small to medium sized fires. The red hunter moves by levitation,
no more than 20 feet above the ground.
Combat: Twice per day the red hunter may blow a stinking cloud
cone, with a 3' tip and 9' base, 9' long. In addition to its stinking cloud
effects, its does D12+4 damage to fire elementals. (save for 1/2 damage)
Normal attacks are jaws/horn/horn.
Habitat/Society: Infrequently two red hunters will meet, they
either mate or if both males, ignore each other. The red hunter has no
defined territory and simply wanders aimlessly. Occasionally it will stick
a magic ring from a victim on the end of one of its horns. Their are said
to be other magic rings, that if put through the red hunters bull nose
allow one to control it.
Ecology: It need not eat, but will eat red or red wearing creatures
when it finds them.
