Fleshpound
"Hyde, it’s coming this way. No, wait. Let’s see what it does when it gets over here, so we can give it a proper name.”
- Pietr the bloodless, to Hyde, the goblin
The fleshpound is the epitome of Horzine's experiments. A giant, brutish, hulking mass of muscle and metal, their steps shake th every ground they walk on and a bright light in the center of their chest gives signal of their presence even in the midst of a busy melee.
The fleshpound is equipped with bracers of whirling, spiked metal that it wields more viciously than any mace or morningstar, though the true power of the fleshpound is brought to bear with the enchanted crystal on its chest. While glowing green, the fleshpound will advance menacingly but slowly toward its enemies, still able to bring low even the strongest of heroes. When the crystal turns red, however, carnage ensues, as magic and chemistry grant the fleshpound a truly terrifying burst of speed, resilience, and power, charging headlong into combat, knocking its prey this way and that, concussing them and then continuing its onslaught.
However brief this burst of power is, a fleshpound will only relent briefly, before it begins another furious assault, and anything or anyone it perceives as an enemy, or food, should take advantage of their reprieve accordingly.
