【Bestiary 1】礁爪怪(Reefclaw)
« 于: 2021-01-27, 周三 11:05:56 »
礁爪怪(Reefclaw)
礁爪怪是形似大号虾或龙虾的水栖怪物。正如其名称中所叫的那样,礁爪怪的爪子是强有力的武器,能够牢固地钳住不幸的猎物并具备注射毒液的能力。
尽管礁爪怪无法说话,但他们却具有足够高的智能来理解狩猎场附近类人生物的当地语言。这些生物偶尔会偷听人们的对话,有时是为了获取伏击水生或陆生猎物的最佳地点,有时仅仅是为了找乐子——礁爪怪特别喜欢听声音尖锐的人说话。礁爪怪通常是独行的猎手,但人们也知晓会有一小群雌性礁爪怪会为了交配而围绕着单只雄性礁爪怪,或者聚集在一起共同养育后代。在后者的情况下,这些雌性会为了带回足够多的食物喂养后代而在较大的范围内进行狩猎。此类狩猎团体是极端危险的存在——他们会掀翻小渔船并攻击落入海中的人。
一旦礁爪怪定下了行动方针,他就会坚持到底,即便这么做意味着自身的死亡也无法改变。不止一名从礁爪怪爪下幸存的生还者说过,只有把礁爪怪的脑壳揍烂到漏出脑浆,才能让他松开夹断骨头的钳子,而且即便在濒死之际,礁爪怪也能在死亡之前打出可怕的最后一击。在交配季节,雌性礁爪怪通常会更加务实一些,在危及自身和后代之前释放他们的猎物。
尽管礁爪怪具备智能且会伴随着这股智能产生道德上的困惑,但他们却经常发现自身会被陆居猎手们捕杀并做成盘中餐,比如人类和大地精。具那些喜欢礁爪怪肉的人所说,这种肉的味道是甜味(在冷水中成长的礁爪怪)或者略带咸味(在温水中成长的礁爪怪)的美味。大多数了解礁爪怪具备智能的文明人会感觉食用他们的行为让人恶心,但这并不能阻止沿海地区的那些不讲道德的贵族,对他们来说礁爪怪肉是对得起相应价值的美味。同样,一心向钱看的渔民们也乐意捕猎这种危险的生物——或者,更好的做法是把这项任务派给那些天真的冒险者。

食用礁爪怪(EATING REEFCLAWS)
礁爪怪不会积蓄财宝,但他们的肉——如果能维持新鲜的话——可以在合适的市场上售卖。然而,越来越多的地方已经不再欢迎食用礁爪怪的做法——当然,这意味着礁爪怪的贸易只是转移到了黑市屠夫手中而已,在那里任何来源可疑的肉都可以进行买卖,而价格也随之水涨船高。

Reefclaw
Reefclaws are aquatic monsters that resemble huge shrimp or lobsters. As one might expect from its name, a reefclaw’s oversized claws are powerful weapons with their vicelike grip and the ability to inject potent venom into unfortunate?prey.
While reefclaws can’t speak, they are intelligent enough to understand the local language of humanoids near their hunting grounds. The creatures sometimes listen to conversations, either to gain intelligence on the best place to ambush aquatic or land-dwelling prey, or merely for entertainment value—reefclaws are particularly fond of listening to people with high-pitched voices. Reefclaws are usually solitary hunters, but small swarms of female reefclaws have been known to gather around a single male for mating purposes or together for the communal raising of their broods. In the latter case, the females will perform widespread hunts in order to bring back a large enough bounty to feed their young. Such hunting parties are extremely dangerous—they’ve been known to tip over small fishing boats and attack those who fall overboard.
Once a reefclaw has decided upon a course of action, it follows through even if doing so spells its own end. More than one reefclaw survivor has said that the creature released its bone-crushing grasp only after its brains were leaking from its broken skull, and even then the reefclaw was able to perform a terrible last slash as part of its dying breath. During mating season, female reefclaws are often a little more pragmatic and release their prey before endangering themselves and their offspring.
Despite their intelligence and the accompanying moral quandaries, reefclaws frequently find their way onto the dinner plates of land-dwelling hunters such as humans and hobgoblins. According to those who have a taste for reefclaw flesh, the meat is either delectably sweet (for reefclaws raised in colder waters) or slightly tangy (in the case of warm-water reefclaws). Most civilized people who know of reefclaws’ intellect find the act of eating them distasteful, but this does not dissuade unscrupulous nobles in coastal regions, for whom reefclaw meat is a delicacy well worth the expense. Likewise, fisherfolk whose focus is on the bottom line of their ledgers are more than willing to hunt the dangerous creatures—or, even better, hire out the task to naive adventurers.

EATING REEFCLAWS
Reefclaws amass no treasure, but their meat—if kept fresh—can be sold in the right markets. However, in an increasing number of places, the practice of eating reefclaws has fallen out of favor—which means, of course, that the reefclaw market has simply shifted to black-market butchers, where all manner of meat gathered from dubious sources is available for purchase, and the value has increased accordingly.

没有团,为什么还要翻译规则呢?
当然是为了友情了
