Your party has stopped for the night. The campfires burning, the wizard is regaining their spell slots, and the rogue is pickpocketing the barbarian. Now, all we need is something to eat. Just outside of the camp you come across a small bunny sitting on a log. After shooting it, you go to claim your prize. Strangely it’s been dead for a while…oh no. Suddenly tentacles shoot from the ground and drag you into a waiting maw, never to be heard from again. That is the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.

These stealthy ambush predators are a really strange idea. The idea of a long-dead creature being animated by this monster is quite horrifying. Something about a venus fly trap for humans stays with you. This isn’t the worst thing about them though.

This monster can also implant eggs in you. This happens in one of two ways. The first is if you eat a creature that they used as a lure. The second is by forcibly pinning you down and implanting it. The parasite will slowly grow and explode from your guts, that is unless it is cut out. This is a dangerous operation and can even kill the host. I hope someone in your party has Remove Disease.
