Description
Arpazonta are tree dwelling mono-eyed predators that ambush their prey from the canopy. They are most recognizable for their shrieking calls and strange star shaped pupils that give them superb vision. You know you are in Arpazonta territory when you can see gash marks in the bark of trees. They are solitary creatures but do not perceive most humanoids as threats. However humanoids with machinery or visible weapons are met with chilling screams let out from these creatures just before they attack. They are swift and deadly in their ambush using momentum to get the upper hand. They will attempt to slam their heavy weight into their prey, digging their 4 dexterous clawed appendages deep into the hide of their targets while wrapping their prehensile hooked tails around them. They finish off their prey with two mobile stingers that envenomate their victims with a powerful venom that causes lethargy and hallucinations.
