A collection of all the Minion; Monsters, Legendary Monsters, Companions, Items, and more I've submitted for Monstery Monday!

Ritual of Fang and Claw.

Multiple Beastzealots may grapple the same creature. If >=2 Beastzealots are grappling a creature, it becomes Incapacitated, and becomes a Ritual Sacrifice. Sacrifices have a Sacrifice Clock of 10+(2xKEY), Beastzealots may use their Ritual Knife to decrease this clock on their turn if grappling a sacrifice.

Once a Sacrifice Clock reaches 0: the Ritual Sacrifice gains a wound, grappled Beastzealots are thrown back STR spaces from the sacrifice, and are summoned (1d4).
