# The Emu
There are legends of some lands where civilization was never meant to exist. Where nature throws something back whenever someone thinks about making camp. One of these creatures is the fearsome Emu, a deadly beast that knows nothing but hate and the taste of blood.

 ### Variant: Echoes Of The Great Emu War
 If the Emu hits a creature with an attack and that creature either has an Australian accent or the person playing the creature is Australian, the creature takes an extra 14 (3d8) psychic damage from the attack, which cannot be reduced in any way.
