The dreaded Axxtoer is a ferocious, tree-dwelling beast. It feeds on blood, preying at night. Whole villages have been wiped out by a single Axxtoer. The monster's favorite attack is clutching with both claws and devouring the head of its victim. If both claws hit with a natural 16 or higher, the Axxtoer will gain a bonus biting attack at +3 to hit. If a natural 19 or 20 is then rolled, the head is bitten off. Otherwise, bite damage is a chunky 4-24 points. If both claws miss, the creature will attack the next round using its horned tail as a 21+ hit dice monster. If the tail hits with a natural 20, it will wrap around the neck if its prey and gain a bonus bite attack. This frightful thing resembles a sort of headless Su-Monster, with a huge mouth atop its torso and luminescent purple eyes (worth 1000 gp if left to dry overnight) just above the mouth. It also has a crystalline pelt highly valued by the rich as garment material, worth 1-4000 gp.
