New Race: Mystaran Sasquatch, Wood (Big Foot)

by Håvard

Here is the woodland variety of the Mystaran Sasquatch.

Two types of Sasquatch are normally found on Mystara. The Woodland variety, sometimes known as Big Foot is found in many of the forested areas of the Known World. Many are found in the Atruaghin Clans region. Other groups are found in Alfheim, Karameikos and Norwold.

Woodland Sasquatches are tall apelike humanoids. They have powerful bodies with large feet and claws and their bodies are covered by thick brown fur. Most Woodland Sasquatches make their homes under large tree roots or in forested caves. They often live in small family units and stay as far away from other races as possible. They are usually shy and peaceful. Sometimes they will eat certain berries that drive them into a violent rage.
Woodland Sasquatches have a deep respect for the Shamani of Atruaghin. They will come to the aid of an Atrhuaghin tribe if called by a Shamani and help fight to protect the lands from outsiders. They are usually also friendly towards Druids and sylvan creatures like Centaurs and Unicorns.

In combat, Sasquatches prefer to use their claws or tossing boulders (range 50’ or 15 meters, damage 2d8). If they hit a target with both claw attacks, they can squeeze the target for additional damage which increases as the Sasquatch gains levels. Sasquatches can be monster spellcasters Wiccas (2nd level) or Druids (4th level). Some unique individuals have been known to become even more powerful spellcasters.
