The holidays are upon us! I’m trying to bring a little bit of holiday cheer with this week’s entry. I’ve been exposed to lots of Christmas related content throughout my life, but my earliest Christmas contest memory is a particular reindeer with a red nose. Rudolph is one of those songs that’s always fun to sing along to and tends to bring a smile to my face. So, in hopes that it brings a smile to your face, I’ve statted up Rudolph as a gift to you! (Also, just because it has stats, doesn’t mean that you should have your players fight him. Be nice!)

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Glowing Nose (Ex) Rudolph’s nose glows with bright light out to 100 feet. This light removes all fog, rain, smoke, snow, or obscuring effects in its area. He can suppress or resume this light as a free action.
Snowsight (Ex) Rudolph can see through fog, rain, smoke, snow, and other obscuring effects as if they did not exist.
Rudolph is a unique reindeer with a nose that glows with a red light. As a child, Rudolph found himself out of place with among other reindeer. These reindeer mocked his peculiar nose, acting particularly mean toward Rudolph. Rudolph, wanting only to join in their reindeer games, found himself disheartened. Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa Claus found himself unable to see from his sleigh to deliver his presents. He came to Rudolph, his nose so bright, and asked him to guide his sleight that night. Thanks to Rudolph’s nose and his wonderful abilities, Santa was able to deliver his presents that. Since then, Rudolph has been part of Santa’s crew every Christmas Eve and his exploits have gone down in history.
That’s it for this week! If you end up introducing Rudolph into your game or you have any request for a future Monstrous Physique, please drop me a line at KnowDirection@hotmail.com.
