The Ahuizotl is an unusual and disturbing monster native to the thick jungles and decrepit of Primus. This primate-canine hybrid beast's most distinguishing feature is the fully functioning hand at the end of its tail. | The Ahuizotl is an unusual and disturbing monster native to the thick jungles and decrepit of Primus.

The Ahuizotl is much like a large dog with smooth and slippery skin. Upon the end of its tail is a hand, much like that of a monkey or a raccoon which it uses to grasp things or to drag away its victims. This is in addition to their forepaws which they can also use. Their tail-hand is often used to anchor themselves to the ground (by grasping onto a nearby solid object) or to drag things behind themselves (very useful when swimming). Its home is often hidden in caverns below the watery depths. It will lie in wait in swampy waters or rivers seeking to drag ponies down into the depths and take them to its cavern below the waters. If it goes too long without finding a victim, it will weep like a child, like a small foal or a loved one. So that unsuspecting victims might hear it and think a foal is weeping, and when they go to investigate, they will be caught by the Ahuizotl. An Ahuizotl becomes especially adept at storing air in their mouth. While underwater, he can store up to 30 minutes of breathable air in his mouth and can use it to blow bubbles filled with breathable atmosphere. He can blow a bubble large enough to encompass a ponys head which allows the target five minutes of breathable air. Further applications can increase the time to a maximum of thirty minutes. Also, given sufficient time and a suitable underwater cavern, an Ahuizotl can fill an underwater location with air to create a habitable area filled with breathable air. Most Ahuizotl use this ability to create secret lairs where few others would be able to follow. | The Ahuizotl is much like a large dog with smooth and slippery skin.

+ | * Need a hand? | ||
+ | Thanks to their unique biology, Ahuizotl's have the unique ability of "assisting" themselves. Whenever they perform a skill check, they may choose a different skill (relevant to the task at hand) that would "assist" them in that task and roll a confirmation roll. If they succeed, they grant themselves an assist bonus. In addition, when assisting an ally, they use two separate skills, both of which can grant separate assist bonuses if successful. | ||

+ | * Mimic voice | ||
+ | Ahuizotls can mimic voices and sounds with ease, provided they have heard them in action at some point. When mimicking such sounds, others cannot distinguish the voices as fake, but they can tell the direction and point of origin of it, or notice irregularities in the spoken subject matter, prompting a DC25 to recognize you as the source of the sounds. If you are seen moving your lips your mouth whilst mimicking, they roll a DC15 instead. | ||
