His shaggy fur varies in color from red to gold to autumn yellow on his bare chest, and his large cloven feet are ash-black in color. A wry yet endearing smile plays across his wise face.* <div class="grid-container"><div class="MON">Gulguthydra</div> <div class="CR">CR 12 (19,200 XP)</div> <div class="SOU">Monster Compendium: Monsters of Faerûn pg. 142</div> <div class="SYS">Dungeons & Dragons 3.5</div></div> N Huge Aberration **Init** +0 **Senses** darkvision 60 ft.; **Perception** +17 **Aura** nauseating stench (DC 24 Fortitude, 80 ft., 1d10 rounds) #### defense **AC** 23, 8 touch, 23 flat-footed (+15 natural, -2 size) **hp** 165 (15d8+105) **Fort** +12, **Refl** +5, **Will** +10 **Feint** 20, **Demoralize** 24 #### offense **Speed** 30 ft., swim 30 ft.

At the end of the period of nausea, if still within 80 feet of the gulguthydra, the being must make another save. A single successful save exempts the being from needing to make saves against any gulguthydra's nauseating stench ability for 24 hours. Nauseated beings are unable to attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells, or do anything else requiring attention. The only action a nauseated character can take is a single move (or move-equivalent) action. Gulguthydras are not subtle. They move straight toward what looks most edible, grab it in their tentacles, bite it with their teeth, and eat it. Exposed skin, fur, or leather armor attracts the gulguthydra's attention. Food encased in metal armor is its second preference. #### ecology **Terrain** Blessed Fields of Elysium **Organization** Solitary **Treasure** Triple Manath (man- ATH ) is the newest member of the Five Compan- ions, only recently replacing the curmudgeonly Duke Rhanok. The new duke of the cervidals feels he has much to learn from Talisid and the other Companions, but if he has any doubts about his ability to stand in Rhanok’s hoofprints, he isn’t showing them. Manath has brought a keen wit and sense of fun to the Companions, charming the others with his colloquial manner and prancing tongue.
