 __TOC__
 A notable and horrifying feature of the brobdingnagian lizard is its massive maw, which is wider than a typical [[Humanoid (race)|human]]'s height.  On a natural 20 attack roll, the lizard not only inflicts critical damage but also swallows its victim whole. The creature's gullet is vast, spanning two [[Combat Hex|hexes]] in diameter, allowing swallowed victims to continue fighting. However, combat within the lizard’s stomach comes with severe penalties.

 Once the lizard swallows prey, it prioritizes retreat. The creature will immediately turn and flee, moving rapidly through its jungle habitat with a [[Movement (stride)|stride]] of 10. This speed combined with the challenging terrain makes it likely that the lizard will escape unless magical means are employed to halt or pursue it. For victims trapped inside, the urgency to kill the creature is compounded by the constant loss of strength and the limited time to act.

-The '''brobdingnagian lizard''' is a huge, aggressive carnivore with teeth sixteen inches long.  They lie in wait in thick overgrowth, choosing to attack large mammals and beasts.  They actively hunt during the day.  Despite their enormous size they are able to surprise their prey on a 1-4, in part due to the mottled, muted brown and grey colouring of their hides.

-For example, Liam, with a strength of 16, is swallowed and suffers 32 damage from the lizard's attack (double the 16 rolled on 5d6). If he is stunned, his strength will be reduced by 4 points before he can act; by 2 points if he is not stunned.  To attack the brobdingnagian lizard from inside, he must first make a strength check against his adjusted strength; if this fails, his strength will fall by 2 more points.  If he, or others outside, cannot kill the lizard before Liam's strength falls to zero, Liam will die.

-Once the brobdingnagian lizard succeeds in swallowing any prey, it will turn about and run, moving quickly through the jungle.  As it can run with a stride of 10 through its natural habitat, it is probable that without magical assistance, the creature will get away and its victim will succumb.
