Description
These creatures are three feet tall and are covered in an ink black fur from head to foot. They have pointed ears that gives them exceptional hearing. They have long front claws with black talons and their feet are padded which reduces the amount of noise they make when they scurry across the ground (50% move silently.) Because of their predominatly black colour Tass Demons are very hard to detect when hiding in shadows (75% chance of success.)
Combat
These little devils will run up attack with both claws and usually scury off. If both hits are sucessful then the creature has dug into the players skin and the creature will attempt to bite its opponent. This bite does 1d4 points of damage and deliever type A poison with it's bite.
Habitat
These creatures live in small unorganized packs and attack almost any creature to obtain food. They usually just visiously attack an oppent until it kills it or gets killed. Not having the brain power to think of retreating usually. They make their homes in burrows in the ground.
Ecology
These creatures were made by a wizard who wanted to create cute furry creatures that would attack visiously upon a command word. Of course this didn't quite work to the wizard's expectations.
