Acephos


 * This leathery-looking humanoid has a face seated in its chest. It has a huge maw filled with yellow teeth, and it waves its fists as it lets out an awful screech.

Acephos are huge, predatory beasts that despise outsiders. They are willing to attack any non-Acephos that enter their area, and breed with frightening speed. While Acephos are capable of using tools and simple melee weapons, they do not manufacture their own items other than the crude armor that they wear.

Government
They live in cold, mountainous, and subterranean environments, either solitary, or in small groups of two - five Acephos. Although much more rare, but not unheard of will a swarming community of Acephos have control of an entire mountain range, these swarms consist of ten - twenty Acephos.

Lands
They can generally be found wandering the Badlands of Amberos, looking for something to kill and eat - little else seems to interest them. Acephos infest the mountainous ranges of the Skienlands and Randu on the realm of Amberos, where tribes of the creatures prey on communities within the raiding bands reach.

The Art of War
Normally, an Acephos enters combat by charging a foe, slamming it with its fists or clubbing them with an improvised weapon. They will often attempt to grapple an opponent, and will bite a held victim mercilessly. An Acephos will rarely chase foes if it has a kill available to it.

Unfortunetly, Acephos don't take prisoners and generally consume anything they kill - items and all.

Acephos are incredibly durable; they have incredible resistances to heat and cold and because of their subterranean habitats Acephos have developed Darkvision.
