Name: Hashamander Rank: D- Genus: Reptile (Lizard) Attribute: --- Traits: Reptile

Description:

A Hashamander is a nightmare for adventurers. Evolved from any common lizard, this beast can conceal itself in any kind of environment, striking people without them knowing.

The subjugation of these creatures is...not as important as one would think, as these creatures live in areas far away from where your everyday citizen would travel, making the nickname "an adventurer's nightmare" ring even more true.

There is a belief that this creature was born from the experiments of an old assassin sect in the hope of creating the perfect spotter for their assassination work, but the resulting creature, believed to be the "High Hahamander", retaliated and crushed the sect in the span of a single night through repeated assassination before the sect could flee.

Appearance:

This lizard is the size of a small cart and is covered with dark, dagger-like scales. These scales are designed to both punish whoever touches the lizard's body and as a deadly weapon in combat.

Abilities:

Danger rank: E+ (when faced in direct combat)/D+ (surprise attack)

Rarity rank: D+

As its history and infamy suggest, the Hashamander is completely relying on stealth attacks. If it is allowed to play by its own rules, it is easily one of the most dangerous reptile-type monsters of its racial rank. However, should someone bring it out to the open, or in case the surprise attack fails, the Hahsamander's combat strength equals just that of an ordinary "strong E-rank creature".

While the race itself does not have an attribute it specializes in, each Hahsamander can develop stealth techniques on its own, allowing each individual to turn out quite differently from the other lizards. This variety in attributes that they can master has people believe that the "High Hashashin" told about in the legends to be a B-rank monster that has evolved from an attribute-focused Hahsamander evolution.
