Description

The Leucrotta is a very strange-looking creature, having a body like a deer or stag with a head resembling a European badger and a leonine tail. Instead of normal teeth, the mouth of a leucrotta is lined with saw-edged ridges of bone. They are hateful predatory creatures who prefer intelligent prey.

A leucrotta can imitate any male or female voice of any human, demi-human, or humanoid, from the high- pitched tones of a pixie to the deepest rumble of a giant. This ability is used to lure potential victims into ambush situations. Leucrotta virtually always know the Common tongue, and have a 25% chance to know any of the following (roll once per language as needed): Elvish, Dwarvish, Orcish, Goblin, Gnoll, or Giant. The leucrotta's kick attacks may only be directed at opponents behind the creature, and it cannot effectively bite and kick in the same round.
