Adversary overview
An incredibly long creature with the appearance of a lizard with dozens of legs, and a cavernous maw that leads to an even more cavernous gullet
The journal of monster hunter Alistair Wake has the following to say on Behir “I encountered one on a journey deep into the deep caverns of the underdark once. Nasty, hungry creatures, as intelligent, if not more so, than a man such as me, but unable or unwilling to put its intelligence to any use besides to sate its hunger and bloodlust. A behir has an insatiable appetite, devouring livestock, mortals, monsters, and local wildlife like a raging wildfire, its stomach is far larger than it appears to be from the outside, and extraordinarily tough, though not as I found out, tough enough to survive a horn of and a half of gunpowder going inside its guts without vomiting.
Besides its hunger, behirs also have a particular hatred of dragon kind. Though nowhere nearly as threatening as such creatures in combat, a hehir has the intelligence and lifespan required to combat a dragon in its plots, and nothing pleases it as much as knowing that a powerful dragon has suffered from its actions. Thus, Behir can be valauble allies if you need to fight a particularly ambitious dragon, provided one can prove their more valuable as tools than as food.”

Swallowstress 2
After hitting a creature within Melee range with its standard attack, the Behir may mark two Stress to swallow the target, temporarily Restraining them. While Restrained this way, they move alongside the Behir, do not have line of sight to creatures outside of the Behir (and vice versa) and mark a Hit Point whenever they make an action roll. If a PC would mark their last Hit Point while swallowed, they instead instantly die as the Behir finishes dissolving their body, and the Behir clears three Stress and a Hit Point. If the Behir would take severe damage, it vomits up each swallowed creature, they become no longer Restrained.
