Id Fiend

''This creature is a bulky lizard covered in rough, scaly black hide, speckled with pink and white. Its blunt, powerful body is carried by four short legs, ending in sharp claws.''

Combat
The id fiend prefers to strike from hiding, using its fear attack to weaken its prey before entering melee using its psionic abilities. When closing to melee, an id fiend will strike with its claws, bite, and its lashing tail.

Description
Using psionics to hunt down and paralyze their prey with fear, id fiends are one of the most feared predators of the wastelands. Their principal method of attack is their ability to draw images of their victims' fears from their minds. Encountered in all regions of Athas, from the desert to the deepest jungles, id fiends are active at all times of the day and night, but prefer nocturnal activity, as they have learned that the mind is more susceptible to fear and suggestion during the hours of darkness.

An id fiend is a large lizard with a thick, stocky body supported by muscular legs, all of which end in claws. The id fiend's skin is leathery in texture and varies in color from light brown (on desert specimens) to a dark green (found on forest and jungle specimens). Id fiends are 12 feet long and weigh as much as 450 pounds. They mate yearly, giving birth to single offspring that are often left to fend for themselves at birth. Dried id fiend blood is reputed to be an ingredient in a potion that increases the imbiber's psionic abilities for brief periods of time.
