| Sadly, these guys were far too cool to get a modern toy, at least from Hasbro/Takara. |
Called forth from the void, from the dark landscape of Dread Nebulos, the creatures known as Horrorcon are savage shape shifting brutes, able to alternate between three forms: a land animal form, a flying form and a humanoid form. Each is unique but combine a mixture of deadly characteristics, with the two described specimen being Apeface and Snapdragon.
Snapdragon is a creature of comfort and deceptive placidity, who enjoy a good time such as bathing in fetid pool or geothermal lakes. This love of relaxation is easily mistaken for being far less dangerous than he actually is, for Snapdragon has a vicious temper which, when ignited, will lead to widespread destruction. Those who summon Snapdragon must be aware that he truly lives up to his mythical namesake: hard to rouse from his lair but a bringer of doom when awakened and enraged. His animal form is described as a pale, spiky wingless dragon or over sized lizard with a powerful jaw. This form unravels into a triangular kite of flesh and bone, able to move at great speed. His humanoid form appears akin to a giant warrior fused with his armor of white scale and bones.
Profoundly obnoxious and foul-smelling, the brutish Apeface relish in his thuggish and lowbrow nature which mask his shockingly cruel and cunning temper. Much like Snapdragon, he is a force to be reckoned with when provoked. He is a creature which like attention and to rile up others, often to the point of madness. In spite of his brutish nature he excel at sabotaging the work of others. His animal form is that of a purple, hairy and fanged ape covered in grey and red bony plates and he takes flight as a large unnameable thing with crimson wings. His humanoid form retains several traits of both forms and wears a blood-red mantle and tower over all ordinary men.

When in their humanoid form, the Horrorcon fight with whatever giant weapon they have which is a mace for Apeface and a sword for Snapdragon. These always count as magical weapons but they disappear when the Horrorcon dies or drop the weapon. A new weapon can be summoned at will.
They can can throw large stones up to 300' for 3d6 damage much like how a giant does.
A Horrorcon can transform at will once per turn, either into it's beast form or it's flight form: in the former it replace it's 1 Giant Weapon attack with either a 1 Bite (4d4+2) or 2 Fists (2d4+1) with the former for Snapdragon and the latter for Apeface. In flight form they cannot attack but gain their flight speed. Their AC value is adjusted in either of these forms.
