Description

A Beja is a Larger, more alien like DireWolf. They hunt on their own and on some rare occasions in 2's. Their fur is a greyish with a purple hue, dark in color. They have radiating orbs used for distraction, intimidation, and trap hunting features. These orbs are also used in mating. The species is found throughout the universe considering their spiritual and telepathically capabilities. They make excellent pets if raised from pups, but a wild adult or elder will not hesitate to kill any creature in its territory. Bejas age twice as fast as Dire wolves.  As a pet it is not uncommon for them to hunt alone and bring back food for the group or partner. Where the beja is from it is also common for multi species reproduction.

Length: 16ft (nose - tail)

Weight: 830lbs (Elder age)

Temperament: Protective, Cautious, Territorial

Life Span: 180-200 Years

Lair and Lair Actions

The Bejas lair is in a dark cold forest den. Inside the lair itself can contain anywhere from 2 mating bejas or 10 Bejas of all ages but usually it only contains one Elder Beja. The moon is at its all time brightest point but the trees secure darkness from below.

On initiative count 18 , the Beja takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Beja can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

  • Echoing Howl: players have disadvantage on intimidation check and chance of being feared. Players have to make a constitution saving throw to avoid effects of dark forest fear.
  • Bio-Luminescent Disorientation: disadvantage from range attacks. The Bejas glowing orbs causes false targets and disorientation. 

Regional Effects

The region containing a legendary Beja’s lair is clouded in darkness. Which creates one or more of the following effects:

  • Disadvantage to range attacks.
  • Need of darkvision

If the Beja dies, these effects fade over the course of 2 d4 days.
