Transformers-Inspired Monster: The Grotusque

We return to Transformers with a first: our first monster inspired not by a Deception but rather by a not-so-heroic Autobot. Generally, it's pretty much accepted that anything which looks like am '80 Monster Manual reject is going to be a bad guy but then you have weirdos like Grotusque.

Curse you, hard-to-find Toys R' Us exclusives!

In spite of their hideous appearance, the Grotusques are generally likable creatures. Speculated to be distant relatives of gargoyles, these...things...are best described as crosses between saber tooth tigers, beavers and dragons. They have matted, oiled grey fur mixed with iridescent scales in various shades of purple or pink with spots of blue and/or white.

Goofy, irreverent and all-around destructive these creatures are nonetheless a force of, if not good, then at least potentially-positive change as many have found themselves joining or roped up in some cause or another from defending villages from bandits in exchange for a meal and some booze  to revolutions to overthrow empires. In spite of their seemingly silly antics they are quite capable warriors and surprisingly cunning strategists, seeing the world as a giant chessboard albeit one where they aim for maximum amusement and destruction, not necessarily victory.

Stats: Like a Gargoyle but with a breath weapon which deal 3d6 damage and no horn attack, instead increase the bite damage. They can always speak and understand local languages and are smart enough to form complex, zany schemes which lead to mayhem and/or victory. They cannot disguise themselves as stones. Unlike gargoyles they require food, air and everything else a normal living creature need.
