Brain Eating. On devouring a humanoid brain, the gu'en deeko gains the knowledge of the victim. It also gains levels, spells, and abilities of the victim, including languages, etc.. These memories and skills fade after a year if not consumed, as in the case of spells, which cannot be relearned in a normal fashion. Hit points gained become permanent addition (limited to their monstrous nature, 6d10+18), and are regained upon resting.

Lair Actions

Thraaak is the name of the gu’en deeko in service to Tizun Thane. Upon being tricked into killing his master, Thraaak has gone insane. He suffers from the insane condition.   Belittiling Laugh. Role Playing. When casting spells, he utters a twisted laugh, a version of Tizun Thane’s own.   Magic Items.:


Thraaak the Mad

Usual Tactics

Tactics. You will notice the spells that Thraaak has left are all defensive in nature, this is intentional, as is the low armor class and high hit points to have this be a fun and challenging fight that is ultimately winnable by low level PCs. Thraaak knows where Tizun Thane’s treasure is and will fight to the death to protect it.

The gu'en deeko Is believed—falsely—by the northern tribes to be a human who has been cursed by the gods, horribly twisted into a giant ape-like creatures for partaking in cannibalism. Similar in appearance to a yeti, it is a light grey in color. It attacks with two powerful claws. Though it eats most mammals, its preference is for humanoid flesh, particularly, the brain, from which the gu'en deeko gains the momories and abilities of the victim.
