Also known as the SINEWY
MUGGER,
the kampfult originally inhabited thick
woodlands where it disguised its rope-like body among vines and creepers.
Unsuspecting prey would then be entrapped
as the kampfult looped its coils of vine-like appendages around the victim,
crushing and strangling it to death.
Actively hunted down by humans,
the few remaining monsters of this kind
are now typically found in ruins or dungeons.
There,
appearing to be ropes or a net,
the monster surprises the unwary.
Several creatures can be attacked at the
same time.
Once hit by an appendage,
the victim cannot escape until the kampfult
is slain.
Only the central section of the creature
can be harmed.
A kampfult has 6 attack appendages of
about 6 feet in length and 6 movement appendages of 1 foot in length. <error
in the figure, below?>
These are spaced along it's slightly thicker
body segment, <again, error in the figure, below?>
which is a trunk of about 4 feet in length.
The monster will hold or pull in its appendages
in order to disguise itself.
