Al

The al is a four-legged reptilian horror with brass nails and iron teeth. It is of very frightening appearance, with large eyes that seem to burn with an inner light, and snakes growing from its head. If Fright Check rules are used, the sudden appearance of an al as it lunges out of a river requires a fright check at -2.
The snakes on its head cannot attack, but they can see. The al swims beneath the river, with a small snake head above the surface acting as a periscope. It looks like an ordinary snake of no great size.
An al will attempt to eat any humans it finds. It moves equally well on land and in water. They are solitary or found in pairs.
