Description
Shackile are bizarre humanoid creatures; they have the head, neck, and wings of a goose where their humanoid head should be, and a large human face on their chest.
The face on their chest is intelligent and can speak Common, however it only controls the body from beneath the shoulders, effectively only controlling its legs. The creature’s arms and wings are controlled by the goose head, which is no more intelligent than a normal goose, and if anything is even more aggressive, attacking anything that gets close to it except other shackiles. While capable of flying, they are not very good at it, and not able to fly long so only do so to escape an enemy that is too tough to defeat. If a shackile gains surprise, it can buffet its opponent with its wings as its first attack, causing the victim to need to make a saving throw or suffer a broken limb. Shackiles are generally shunned because of the antisocial behavior of their goose half, and form small communities far from others. Each tribe is led by an elder, who will have 4 HD (XP: 240) and AC 2 [17].
