Giant Frilled Lizard

Creature 5 — animal

Found in warm and tropical forests and savannas, these immense lizards are a deadly threat to the unsuspecting traveler.

Abilities

Intimidating Display (auditory, emotion, fear, mental, visual) — The giant frilled lizard Strides. If it ends that Stride adjacent to at least one other creature, it suddenly displays its colorful neck frills and issues a frightening hiss. Each adjacent creature must succeed at a DC 21 Will save or become Frightened 2 (or Frightened 3 on a critical failure). The creature is then temporarily immune to Intimidating Display for 1 minute.
