'Intruding Creature' is a pattern designed to put a monster far outside its normal habitat. The most common use of this pattern is to have sea monsters appear on the land. Magical land sharks that dash around on the tips of their flippers, glacier-dwelling crocodiles who attack out of snowbanks, seahorses that fly, aboleths who move around in giant bubbles of magically-animated water, a pod of flying whales...all these sorts of things are enabled by this pattern, and are the most common way of using it. | <!-- GENERAL ADJUSTMENTS --> | ||

| Description| '''''Intruding Creature''''' is a pattern designed to put a monster far outside its normal habitat. The most common use of this pattern is to have sea monsters appear on the land. Magical land sharks that dash around on the tips of their flippers, glacier-dwelling crocodiles who attack out of snowbanks, seahorses that fly, aboleths who move around in giant bubbles of magically-animated water, a pod of flying whales...all these sorts of things are enabled by this pattern, and are the most common way of using it. | |||
But this pattern can be used more widely than that, if the GM likes. Lava boars that live in volcanoes, dire bats that fly gracefully underwater, giant penguin-rocs that hunt whales in the ocean depths, assassin trees that are really assassin kelp, xorn that teleport through shadows rather than glide through stone, the possibilities of this pattern are immense indeed. Note that the more fanciful uses of this Pattern may require support from another pattern to make the CR work out, depending upon how imaginative the GM's idea is. As with all use of Patterns, approach the more 'fanciful' ideas with caution! | But this pattern can be used more widely than that, if the GM likes.

| Special-Ability-1-Description| An Intruding Creature gains one movement type chosen by the GM, equal in speed to their best base movement speed, typically the 'Lesser' versions of various speeds, although at CR 21 and higher, that restriction may be relaxed. This includes the ability to survive and operate normally in their 'new' environment, meaning they are not subject to [[Environmental Effects]] of their environment, although this pattern does not convey the ability to breathe water. The Aquatic Creature pattern can be applied as well, to address this lack. | |||

Intruding Creature Pattern (+1 CR)
- Subtype: add Intruding to subtypes
Intruding Creature is a pattern designed to put a monster far outside its normal habitat. The most common use of this pattern is to have sea monsters appear on the land. Magical land sharks that dash around on the tips of their flippers, glacier-dwelling crocodiles who attack out of snowbanks, seahorses that fly, aboleths who move around in giant bubbles of magically-animated water, a pod of flying whales...all these sorts of things are enabled by this pattern, and are the most common way of using it.
But this pattern can be used more widely than that, if the GM likes. Lava boars that live in volcanoes, dire bats that fly gracefully underwater, giant penguin-rocs that hunt whales in the ocean depths, assassin trees that are really assassin kelp, xorn that teleport through shadows rather than glide through stone, the possibilities of this pattern are immense indeed. Note that the more fanciful uses of this Pattern may require support from another pattern to make the CR work out, depending upon how imaginative the GM's idea is. As with all use of Patterns, approach the more 'fanciful' ideas with caution!
This creature looks like it doesn't belong in this locale... you're not sure why, but it seems like its managing just fine.
