Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Also known as "bubble cats" or "gas cats," desa-desas are small, vaguely feline predators that hunt the jungles of Castrovel. A typical desa-desa is roughly the size and shape of a bobcat. Its head is reptilian, sporting large eyes and slender fangs that protrude from its lips. Desa-desa fur tends to match their environment—most are dark green and brown—and is punctuated by patterns of small, bubble-like bladders that protrude from the creature's skin like transparent boils. Every desa-desa has

Abilities

Bubble Venom — A creature bit by a desa-desa breaks out in large, painful blisters which expand and pop as water in the victim's body turns into volatile gasses. Magical healing of any kind counteracts the bubble venom Saving Throw DC 18 Fortitude Maximum Duration 6 rounds Stage 1 weakness to fire 2 and 1d6 piercing (1 round) Stage 2 weakness to fire 4 and 2d6 piercing (1 round)
Fire Blast (arcane, fire) — The desa-desa releases a burst of explosive gasses in all directions, dealing 3d6 fire to all creatures in a 5-foot emanation. The desa-desa can't use Fire Blast again for 1d4 rounds.
Volatile Gasses — Whenever a desa-desa takes electricity damage, it must attempt a DC 18 Fortitude save. On a failure, the sparks cause the desa-desa to immediately use Fire Blast if it can, and the desa-desa becomes off-guard for 1 round.
