Dire Moose

Adversaries Designed by Almost Bedtime Theater

Adversary overview

A powerful mountain of a moose with massive antlers, a long tail, and bone scales down its forehead and nose.

As a Tier 2 Bruiser, the dire moose is not intended to be a creature that a Tier 1 PC can successfully defeat in combat. Instead, it’s meant to be used as a complication or even an opportunity for a PC with the right abilities: something to escape, to calm, to seek assistance from, or to use as a distraction.

This adversary is from the Midnight Ride of the Have Mercy adventure frame by Almost Bedtime Theater.
