BEAST
Few creatures inspire such immediate unease as the Klowna, a two-headed, long-legged beast with the painted faces of miserable circus clowns.
Despite its festive appearance, the Klowna is a dreadful companion. Its four eyes are excellent at detecting worry, its tears are mildly poisonous, and its groggy bite can leave victims staggering about in a most undignified fashion.
The creature moves on impossibly thin, skittering legs, while its enormous winglike appendages allow it to glide silently across considerable distances.
Klownas are notorious gamblers, carrying small pouches of mysterious valuables and insisting upon wagers that nobody remembers agreeing to.
Both heads frequently disagree, particularly about whose turn it is to be miserable.
Ranger Wisdom: Never play cards with something that can cry poison.
