Hannya (Japanese)

__NOTOC__
Hannyas are the spirits of woman who were jealous in life. They have grotesque, evil faces with knobby chins, fangs, and horns upon their heads. Their eyes burn with a cold blue light. When in battle, they attack first with their clawed hands, then with their sharp horns. Just before melee is joined, a Hannya will generally scream to inflict as much damage as she can.
Hannyas are generally found in the Land of Darkness, but they have been known to venture out in order to harass an unfaithful lover, or just to take vengeance on men generally.
Special Att/Def: Hannya can only be hit by magic or + 2 or better weapons. Any creature hit by a Hannya's claws must save versus death or suffer 2d10 points of poison damage each round (until neutralized). A Hannya can scream once per day (but not while in melee), causing 3dlO damage to all within 25' (no save).
