Dimetrogs are man-sized, nocturnal bipeds equally at home in tropical climes and barren wastelands.  Prominent sails jut from their backsides, as do elongated fangs from their snouts.

A dimetrog's piercing tail injects a deadly Class 15 venom.  And there is a 1 in 6 chance (on 1d6) that any given dimetrog can exhale a beam of withering heat, per the Energy Ray Physical Mutation [adjust XP accordingly].

Some travelers swear they've witnessed dimetrogs using primitive tools, and even Ancient artifacts....

Mutations:  Accumulated Resistance (Heat), Enhanced Vision (Night Vision), Toxic Weapon (Venom)
