Description

From the forest the grue moaned again and in a plaintive voice, called out for solace.

When hungry, a grue may emit a horrifying wail. Creatures able to perceive this dreadful baying must succeed a Dodge resistance check (DC 15). If this check succeeds, the grue’s call has no ill-effects. Those failing the Dodge check must now succeed a Will resistance check (DC 15) or become impaired (failure by one degree) or disabled (failure by two degrees) from fright.

Affected targets make another Will resistance check at the end of each turn to recover.
