# Skirr >[!rimg]+ > ![[Placeholder2.png]] *A faint whirring sound and the stench of death precedes a great shape scudding through the air. The creature has a humanoid form with the skull of a long-toothed bull. Its upper arms are great wings, and its lower legs end in cruel, clawed talons. No skin or fur can be seen beneath the dingy gray funerary wrappings that cover the entire creature like a mummy.* <div class="grid-container"><div class="MON">Skirr</div> <div class="CR">CR 7 (3,200 XP)</div> <div class="SOU">Libris Mortis pg. 120</div> <div class="SYS">Dungeons & Dragons 3.5</div></div> NE Huge Undead **Init** +2 **Senses** darkvision 60 ft.; **Perception** +3 #### defense **AC** 22, 10 touch, 20 flat-footed (+2 Dex, +12 natural, -2 size) **hp** 39 (6d8+12) **Fort** +4, **Refl** +6, **Will** +6 **Feint** 15, **Demoralize** 17 **Immune** undead traits #### offense **Speed** 20 ft., fly 50 ft.

Their favored tactic is to swoop down, grab a victim, ascend to a height of at least 200 feet, and then drop the victim in a deadly fall. #### ecology **Terrain** Cold hills **Organization** Solitary or pair **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 7–12 HD (Huge); 13–18 HD (Gargantuan) Skirrs are predators that hunt the edges of necropolises, great expanses of deadly swamps, deserts, or other places where victims might be found alone, hurt, and pressed by dangers from directions other than the sky. That’s when skirrs swoop in to attack. Skirrs measure, wingtip-to-wingtip, 50 feet or more, and weigh about 20,000 pounds.
