Pinchers

Pinchers are little but very dangerous monsters. While they cause only little physical damage, their bite is very poisonous and the poison kills really fast. If there isn't a Healer or a Cure spell availabe, this spells certain doom for the adventurer!

They are mostly found in forests, waiting on trees for their victims.

Lore
''Any bite from these creatures is poisonous. If a character is bitten, only a Prayer or a Healer, can cure the poison that is running in thy character's vein. Every step the character takes, lowers the character's hit level by one. If thou art far from a Healer, thou dost travel with a walking dead man.''
