Monster Menagerie Seasonal Stars: Giraffenomicon

Yes. I said Giraffenomicon

Not enough adventurers pay attention to giraffes. The actual Latin name for a giraffe is Giraffa Camelopardalis. It’s a camel-leopard. Which is CR 5. I’m pretty sure, anyway. What you end up with is a one-ton beast that can hit you with its neck. Its neck. Name another animal that can use its neck as a weapon (and snakes don’t count; they don’t have shoulders.) Anyway, here are some of the worst ones. Giraffecorn. Giraffemera. Giraffon 9which knows kung-fu_. And, of course, the dreaded Giraffelich. I’d tell you to stay away from them if you valued your life, but you’re adventurers. You’ll just go charging at the things, full tilt, screaming battle cries and waving your flametongue swords around.
