Abyssal Basilisk Lore

A character knows the following information with a successful Arcana check.

DC 20: Though basilisks feed primarily on living creatures, they can eat nearly anything and will often consume rocks and other inorganic materials when food is scarce. The elemental varieties may in such occasions inadvertently ingest a small fragment of the Abyss, which lodges itself firmly in the creature's gullet and remains there indefinitely, as the basilisk cannot properly digest this unnatural substance. Over time these fragments physically collapse, creating a tiny planar rift that manifests as a minor but direct gateway to the Abyss. Exposure to the chaotic elemental energy that this rift constantly spews forth triggers a startling metamorphosis that eventually transforms the basilisk into one of these horrid creatures.

DC 25: The rift within each abyssal basilisk causes it constant, agonizing pain and also makes it exceptionally hard for the creature to sustain itself, as the rift destroys most of the food the basilisk consumes long before it can properly digest it. This leaves the basilisk feral and crazed, attacking anything and everything it finds without reserve. Though these creatures hunt primarily with their supernatural gaze, they are ironically most feared for their bite: many are the tales of a hapless victim being thrown into the Abyss as a result of being exposed to the maelstrom of energy from the basilisk's maw. (In actuality, while exposure to the rift's energy can be deadly, the rift itself is too small to actually transport a creature of any size to or from the Abyss). Despite their vicious and unpredictable nature (or, more likely, because of it), some demons keep these beasts as pets, using threats of being fed to the basilisk as an effective means to keep lesser minions in check.

Ironfur Warbear Tactics

An ironfur warbear is a tenacious but simple combatant that fights to the death. It attacks the closest target, relying on its raw strength and natural resilience to overcome its foes. Once it is bloodied it uses ironfur defiance and begins repeatedly making warbear frenzy attacks against a single target until the enemy drops. If a mounted warbear's rider is knocked unconscious or otherwise unable to direct the bear, it does its best to defend the rider and direct enemy attacks away from him or her.

Ironfur Bear Lore

A character knows the following information with a successful Nature check.

DC 20: Ironfur bears are almost legendary for their endurance and ferocity. They are also noted among scholars for their curious pack behavior: unlike most bears, which are typically solitary creatures, ironfur bears gather into small groups called dens. These dens typically consist of a single mated pair plus their offspring which will remain with their parents for several years until they find mates of their own, at which point they will usually split off and form their own den. Ironfur bears mate for life and can remain fertile indefinitely; a pregnancy lasts for about seven months and produces anywhere from two to six cubs, so a den's exact size can vary noticeably from one year to the next. An ironfur den is an extremely close-knit group and fights to the death to protect its own -- they are especially vicious when they have young cubs, during which time they have been known to attack without provocation. Separate dens tend to give each other a wide berth but have been known to come into direct conflict when food is scarce.

Some ironfur bears never split off from their parent den even after they mate or produce offspring of their own, instead absorbing the new members into the existent den. These so-called "super dens" are exceedingly rare and no one is quite sure why they form, but there seems to be no upper limit to how large they can grow. Unfortunately these super dens can put a heavy strain on the available resources in a given area, and nearby civilizations are often forced to thin the bears' numbers.

Stormfury Courser

Description

Stormfury Courser Level 16 Skirmisher
Large elemental magical beast (air, mount) XP 1,400
Initiative +17	Senses Perception +13
Eye of the Storm aura 2; allies in the aura gain resist lightning 10 and resist thunder 10
HP 156; Bloodied 78
AC 30; Fortitude 28, Reflex 29, Will 28
Resist 20 lightning, 20 thunder
Speed 8
Tempest Hoof (standard; at-will) ♦ Lightning, Thunder
+21 vs. AC; 2d8 + 14 lightning and thunder damage.
Stormwalk (standard; at-will) ♦ Lightning
The stormfury courser gains phasing until the end of its next turn and immediately moves up to 8 squares. When the stormfury courser moves through a creature's space using stormwalk, it makes an attack: +17 vs. Fortitude; 10 lightning damage. The stormfury courser cannot target the same creature more than once with a single use of stormwalk, and it doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks while moving via stormwalk.
Calm Before the Storm (move 1/round; at-will) ♦ Lightning
The stormfury courser cannot use this ability in the same round that it uses stormwalk, and using this ability reduces its resistances to lightning and thunder to 0 until the end of its next turn. If the stormfury courser uses stormwalk during its next turn, the maximum distance it can move using that ability is increased to 16 squares, and when the courser ends its movement it makes an additional attack: close burst 2; +17 vs. Reflex; 3d10 + 12 lightning damage.
Rider on the Storm (while mounted by a friendly rider of 16th level or higher) ♦ Mount
When the stormfury courser gains phasing from its stormwalk ability, this benefit is also granted to the rider (the rider does not gain any of the other benefits of stormwalk, however).
