Tigbanua

| By Brian Valeza |
The tigbanua is a vicious and vile creature of Kara-Tur. They are known to hunt travelers from within their wooded areas and are known to be filthy cannibals with a fear of canines. Their dirty claws are infamous for being able to inflict a terrible curse which changes other humanoids into lesser beings of their kind, called tagmalings. They speak a strange language called Buso, which is known only to their kind.
Tigbanua Tactics
Tigbanua use their fearful aura to strike an opponent into fear, thus making them weak. Then they attack all they can with their claws. Infecting a victim is not a goal of theirs, but it is a useful side-effect. Tagmalings on the other hand do not have a fearful aura, nor can they inflict the tagmaling curse, and so they can only attack as minions know.
Tigbanua Lore
A character knows the following information with a successful Nature check.
DC 15: Tigbanua are corrupted forms of cannibalistic giants of the woodlands.
DC 20: The claws of a tigbanua are known for being as dirty as the rest of their filthy body. It is said this filthy is contagious and can turn another humanoid into a tigbanua minion called a tagmaling.
DC 25: The tigbanua's greatest fear is a dog. Thus, people in Kara-Tur often will travel through forests with a dog to protect themselves. Upon seeing a dog, tigbanua tend to flee immediately.
Encounter Groups
A tigbanua comes with usually about two to six of its own kind, and a varying number of tagmaling minion. Their presence tends to be repugnant to other creatures, so they are not usually in cooperation with others not of their own.
