New (Classic Greek) Monster: Ophiotaurus


DESCRIPTION
Ophiotauri are most often encountered hiding in their lairs, as they are constantly being hunted for the boon that killing one provides. Any character who kills an ophiotaurus will gain 1 experience level. This benefit is given only to the character who deals the final blow that actually kills the ophiotarus, and only after the entirety of the ophiotaurus's body has been burned and reduced to ash. Should any portion of the body remain unburned, no boon will be granted. The level grant will put the character at the minimum experience points for the next level up, based on the character's cumulative experience point total up to the point at which the entirety of the ophiotaurus has been burned, including any experience points gained for actually killing the ophiotarus.

While an ophiotaurus's main form of attack is to gore with his horns, he is able to cast the following spells three times per day each (as a 5th level cleric): cure light wounds, detect evil, bless, hold person, and prayer.
