Flecked with bits of mica and quartz crystal, the krynch shimmers in even the dimmest light. Moving with a fluid grace that belies the granite composition of its body, the creature has a barrel chest and thick, powerful limbs. The krynch has no visible ears or nose on its perfectly spherical head. Its mouth is fixed in a perpetual scowl and its glossy black eyes glare at you with malevolent intensity.

Hunting strategies

Creature has low DS.

Creature is resistant to physical damage (Full-Plate AVD), immune to stuns from physical attacks and immune to fire attacks/flares.

 You leap from hiding to attack!
 You swing a twisted drakar talon sword at a krynch!
  AS: +262 vs DS: +85 with AvD: +18 + d100 roll: +68 = +263
  ... and hit for 45 points of damage!
  Throat nearly crushed.  The krynch makes gurgling noises.
 You swing an ebon mithril longsword at a krynch!
  AS: +256 vs DS: +81 with AvD: +17 + d100 roll: +21 = +213
  ... and hit for 40 points of damage!
  Whoosh!  Several ribs driven into lungs.
 Roundtime: 6 sec.

Creature can easily be defeated by stance dancing.

Wait for Attack, Stance Offensive, Attack, Stance Defensive (Repeat from beginning).

Once critically damaged, the critter can vanish (leaves the room). Aim for the legs so that it will have to crawl away, this will give a direction where it's going and can also make it more difficult to leave.

A krynch crawls east.

A krynch tries to drag itself away but collapses in agony!

Other information

An example of a successful dodging of a krynch's boulder roll maneuver:

A krynch curls its form into a large boulder, and the boulder begins to move, quickly gaining momentum!

With great poise and balance, you leap at just the right moment to dodge the boulder as it careens recklessly by!

The boulder comes to a sudden stop and rises into the form of a krynch!
