KAMADAN
A kamadan (pronounced KAM-ah-dao) is a fe-
line predator that resembles a leopard with six
snakes sprouting from its shoulders. Although
it bears a passing resemblance to a displacer
beast, the two creatures are unrelated (though
some sages claim otherwise).
Kamadans typically hunt alone or in mated
pairs. They can exhale clouds of sleep gas,
which they typically do before entering melee
combat. If a kamadan has both conscious and
unconscious enemies within striking range, it
tries to kill the conscious enemies first before
finishing off any sleeping foes.
