The Bembin is a seldom seen creature with incredible endurance, strength, intellect, and power otherwise. The beast is a dynamo of constitution, regenerating a full 2 lost hit points per round. Its sheer size does adversely affect its fighting ability, however. It attacks as a 9-die monster despite a higher hit point capacity. When attacking, the Bembin uses its massive forty foot long tentacles to inflict 2-12 points of damage each. If both attacks hit, the victim must save vs. Petrification or suffer additional damage according to the following chart:

ROLL D8RESULT
1-4-no additional damage
5-STUNNED for 2-5 rounds
6-victim's appendage (arm, leg) is ripped off -- 6-36 damage
7-hurled into nearest wall (1-4 damage)
8-chracter is ripped in half -- 6-60 damage + 1-8 per round due to blood loss

If a Bembin lair is stumbled upon, there will always be six of them present. They will probably be performing a religious ceremony, and in this heightened state of awareness attack at +2 to hit.

Bembins can use any evil Clerical spells as a 12th level Cleric; spell levels 1-6. They are immune to all fire, cold, and electrical attacks, and can only be hit by +2 or better magical weapons.
