More fantasy monsters, HERO-style...
NAUTIC
A denizen of the ocean depths, this unusual being can alter its
body shape so as to appear to be an attractive object. The Nautic
then captures and envelops the victim in the folds of its body
where it slowly digests its catch. Limited telepathic abilities
allow the Nautic to determine the form needed to attract a
victim. Since the Nautic is anchored to the bottom, however, it
is unable to pursue victims that escape its lengthy grasp.

NTT
Created from primordial magic, this chaotic being exists only
as a complex field of interacting forces and energies. To
interact with the real world an Ntt must possess and control a
physical host. However, due to the alien nature of this being,
the behavior of the occupied host will be incomprehensible to
most mundane beings. The occupied host will act in a seemingly
irrational and often malign fashion, although there is nothing
intrinsically evil about an Ntt. The creature will travel from
host to host randomly, occupying one being for a few moments or
another for many years, as the Ntt's interests and moods shift.

NEPALOPE
This mythical being most closely resembles a giant mountain
ram, with a pearly-white marble body, tough crystalline horns,
diamond-hard hooves, and deep green crystals that serve as eyes.
A long mane of silky, black fibers flow the full length down the
creature's back. The legs of the Nepalope are both powerful and
nimble, allowing the beast to leap gracefully across the most
hazardous terrain. The territory of the Nepalope is usually home
to a herd of mountain sheep.
It is a legend among certain mountain tribes that a Nepalope is
a sacred, immortal being that guards a place of great power. The
creatures are extremely rare, however, so few can attest to the
truth of the matter.
