Delvers Guild – Creature Catalog – Dust Devil

[This is the swirling dust creature the Delvers encountered in the golem works in Session 8.  It performed reasonably well.]

 

Dust Devil

Dust or powdered clay swirls up into a vaguely humanoid shape.  Then two red orbs open in its head area and it glides towards you, arms outstretched.
