A lizard-like creature, 8' tall and just as wide, it has but one mission: defend the clutch. Usually grey-green in color, with mottled scaly hide, and a short viciously fanged snout. Instinct: To smash dwarves (or other non-trogs)

• Hold a foe underfoot, for easier smashing
• Lunge at a foe, hoping for a bite
• Chomp on a held foe

Created by enchanters and sorcerers with a flair for the macabre and dramatic, a killer puppet seems like a harmless child's toy but is in fact a minature golem animated by a minor evil spirit. Surprisingly durable and deadly, it can cause alarming damage with savage attacks from its "toy" armaments. Bound to serve its creator or whoever it is directed to consider its master, it delights in taking license with its orders to cause the most havoc, pain, and terror possible. For many who employ the services of such creatures, this is a feature and not a bug. Often these beings are created in troupes, and where there is one there will often be more. Instinct: Do as commanded

• Kills for its master
• Call puppet troupe
