Abhorrent
bescription
These horrendous creatures are
spawned by Innoruuk,GodofHate,onhis
home plane. Though abhorrents are primarily
used as guardians and heralds on the
Plane of Hate, Innoruuk will occasionally
send one of these creatures to Norrath to
serveone of his high priests. The abhorrent's
cunning and stealth make it ideal for intelligence
gathering and assassination
missions.
Abhorrents have thick, stone-like skin
and a terrible countenance. Abhorrents do
not bother to carry weapons, as Innoruuk
has crafted them with jaws and talons that tear into
the flesh of their opponents with terrifying efficiency.
Their bat-like wings give them extraordinary aerial
agility.


ALLiz€wsaur -
Among the islands in the Ocean of Tears lurks a titanic
creature called the Allizewsaur. According to legend, this accursed
creature once belonged to an ancient race of beings known
as the Shissar, who created a vast and powerful society that
dominated much of Norrath. Renowned for their intellect, their
engineering skills, and their ruthless use of slave races, the Shissar
built fortresses and temples to their god, Cazic-Thule (some of
which still stand today, including Najena and the Temple of
Cazic-Thule in the southern swamps of Antonica).
Despite their success and advancement as a civilization, or
perhaps because of it, the Shissar grew proud. When Rallos Zek
sought to conquer the Planes of Power during the first War of the
Gods, the Shissar sided with the Warlord, thinking they were
powerful enough to wage war among the gods themselves. Shissar
magic aided Zek's invasion of the Plane of Earth. When the war
met its disastrous conclusion, the gods punished the Shissar along
with Rallos Zek and his progeny. The Shissar suffered a devastating
curse that took away much of their intelligence and theirform,
turning them into simple, barbaric lizard people.
One of the most powerful Shissar leaders was Allize Ssrateh,
known as the Herald of Fear. Whether it was Allize's own great
power or the interventionofCazic-Thule, the curse laid upon the
Shissar enfeebled Allize's mind but did not reduce his form. On
the contrary, the Herald of Fear took on a titanic form when the
curse was levied upon him. It is said that the gods hurled Allize
Ssrateh - now called the Allizewsaur - into the Ocean ofT ears
so that he would not pose a threat to the continent of Tunaria.
For as long as any mariner can now remember, the Allizewsaur
has ranged the Ocean of Tears, becoming a legendary threat to
ships. In reality, the Allizewsaur's attacks on ships are rare, as its
main territory seemsto lie outside the most frequented shipping /
lanes. A large tribe of aqua goblins living in the ocean, howeve
has come to worship the beast, and these goblins are a hazard to
sailors, regularly taking sacrifices to appease "the great lizard god.",
The need for sacrifices gives the goblins great motivation to raid-.,
ships passing through the Ocean of Tears, since if the goblins ~
not capture hostages to serve as sacrifices, one of their own is
selected to be the sacrifice!
The Allizewsaur is a giant lizard that walks upright like a human. It stands approximately 70 feet tall and has a huge maw filled with razor-sharp teeth. The Allizewsaur, despite its civilized
origins, has become little more than an animal. It acts on instinct,
feeds when hungry, defends itself when attacked, and has no
morals or language.


Avatar OF Fear-
When Cazic-Thule wishes to
spread fear directly in the world,
he does not leave the Plane of
Fear but creates the Avatar of
Fear as his emissary. The Avatar ~
of Fear looks exactly like Cazic-
Thule but on a smaller scale: a
giant hulk without a face on
short, thick legs with
broad feet; with two
sets of arms, one
huge and the other
relatively small. The
Avatar of Fear is far
less powerful than
Cazic- Thule himself,
but it is still a fearsome
foe in every way. Like its master, it
loves to trample over smaller creatures.
The Avatar of Fear
appears wherever
Cazic-Thule desires
his presence
to be known, whether
the throne room of
Caballis or directing the
devout in the Lost Temple
deep in the Feerott.


Aviak -

A viaks, a birdlike race of humanoids, can be found throughout
Norrath. From nests in the crags of the Butcherblock Mountains
to village roosts on island archipelagoes in the Ocean of Tears to
entire aviary cities on the plains of Karan a, many different species
of aviaks have carved out their homes.
As arule, aviaks are not very aggressive toward other creatures.
This trait, combined with their limited intelligence, makes them
somewhat less than aserious threat to other civilized races. A viaks
can,however, become serious nuisances, if not outright threats, to
outlying communities. They have little regard for (or perhaps little undetstanding of) territorial boundaries or ownership, happily
foraging for food on a farmer's fields or even walking right into
frontier homes in search of food. Aviaks have also been known to
flock toward travelers and snatch anything brightly colored or
glittery. Those who respond violently to the aviaks' actions find
the normally unaggressive birdmen quite capable of defending
themselves.
Aviaks are prolific breeders, which keeps their population high
even in the face of conflict with other more intelligent and
warlike races. They are also long-lived by human standards, some
living two centuries or more. Avocets, the eldest among the
aviaks, reach considerable size and physical prowess, even developing
enough intelligence to become reasonable leaders of their
tribes.


Bixie -

b€scri p'tion
Bixies swarm together in stone towers in the Misty Thicket, the
Nektulos Forest, the East Commonlands, the Kithicor Forest, and
other wooded areas throughout Norrath. They usually mind their
own business unless disturbed and will sometimes help a respectful
traveler. These tiny fey have plump bodies striped with yellow and
black, like bumble bees. Their wings also resemble those of bees.
Although they are not evil, bixies dislike intrusion onto their
territory and are very quick to anger. Some bixies attack travelers
out of spite and attempt to shoo them away from their hive, while
others attack merely to make trouble, and still others attack in an
attempt to steal shiny baubles from travelers.

Worker
Worker bixies are not particularly intelligent. They gather
honey for the hive and perform other building duties as assigned
by the queen. Bright colors attract workers: if a worker bixie spots
something particularly shiny or colorful, he usually attempts to
steal it from its owner. This applies primarily to gems and jewelry,
but might also include weaponry and personal items. If successful,
he takes the object back to the hive and presents it to the queen.
Combat
Workers attack only to protect a fellow bixie or when cornered.
They use their stinger to inject poison into their opponents.
Poison (Ex): Sting. Fortitude save (DC 10), initial damage I
hit point, secondary damage Id4 hit points.
brone
These bixies generally stay closer to the tower hive. They serve
the queen, guard the tower, and rescue endangered workers. They
know enough about herbalism to make special honeys and other
products with naturally healthy and pleasing qualities. They
adore their queen as much as do the workers and will steal pretty items from strangers to give to her.
