Creatures
The creatures in this section of the document are intended as lesser enemies, and can be encountered
in groups. Each Creature has a list of possible “reskins” that the entry could be used for, to cover a lot
more combat options – the way you describe and flavour the encounter can be wildly different, even if
you’re using much the same stats and tactics. Difficulty is rated from to . Each creature also
has a Role, which is one of the following:
• Brute: A big strong enemy, tough to take down

• Lurker: A sneaky ambush enemy who avoids a direct fight
• Soldier: Standard enemy, usually works well in a team
• Curveball: An enemy who manipulates the battlefield to change the situation in expected
ways
There are also Tactics listed for each entry. This covers Talents, Basic Attacks, and special moves
that can be employed to make a fight more interesting.
A few of the creatures presented don’t usually exist in Dark Sun (such as Bugbears), but might be used
in cross-over adventures or reskinned as Dark Sun creatures.

Description These apes have evolved to survive in the dark, empty parts of the world and so have lost all

Basilisk (💀💀💀)
Movement 2
Armor 8
Passive Basilisk Stare
If the basilisk just glances at a creature, the only effect is a slight sensation of
pressure. If it focuses on a creature for one round, the target’s limbs become heavy,
slow, and grey. Their thoughts move like treacle. If they succeed on an Endurance
roll, they can move. If they fail, they are rooted in place, and enemies get a +2 to hit
as if they were prone.. This effect ends immediately if the basilisk looks away.
If the basilisk stares at a target for a second round, they must succeed an Endurance
roll again or be turned to stone. If they pass, they are still rooted in place (as above).
The effect has Near range. Test at the start of each round, before initiative order is
determined. The effect is not reflected by mirrors.
Attack 1 💀💀💀 Charge. (Charge). The basilisk prioritises partially petrified adventurers. It
charges at them with double its normal movement (4) and snaps its great jaws at the

attacks on an adventurer in front of it, the basilisk whips its tail at an adventurer
behind it, in Near range. The target suffers an attack of 9 Base dice and 2 Weapon

are devoured. They then take 1 damage each round and must inflict 4 damage to break
free from inside the basilisk.
Beholder (💀💀💀)
Notes The GM can tweak the difficulty of a fight with a beholder by choosing to use the
Lesser Eye Rays attack more or less frequently.
I recommend you draw Initiative cards for each Lesser Eye, so the eyes act
intermittently during the round. At the end of the round, the beholder moves or
performs other actions.
A beholder has no reason to allow enemies to approach to Arms Length range. It
can fly and will maintain altitude if possible. A savvy party may need to use nets,
harpoons or grappling hooks to control the movement of a beholder.
