Tunche
Standing on three legs, this Creature is a mix of dangerous jungle animals and plants fused into one deadly predator.
A Tunche is a bizarre forest Creature with twisted feline legs, a dense body resembling jungle undergrowth, clawed arms like those of a praying mantis, and a head resembling a cross between a monstrous spider's head and a jungle orchid. Although it has plant and Animal features, a Tunche is neither plant nor Animal and is immune to effects that specifically target such creatures. Considering itself the ultimate protector of the jungle, a Tunche prowls its domain in search of any who might despoil this vibrant and lush environment. If a Tunche encounters travelers who treat the jungle with proper respect, it might simply observe them or Demand an offering in exchange for allowing them to pass through its territory.
A Tunche especially enjoys toying with its victims, using its magic to confuse and Mislead its opponents. A Tunche rarely kills a foe without toying with it first, unless the target is actively harming plants or animals.
A Tunche stands 20 feet tall and weighs 4,000 pounds.
