Iopinax the Younger

Under a coat of curly fur, dappled skin dents -- dodecagons -- catch the filtered brightness of the wide world and thrash it back against itself twelve times, and then breathe out a soft glow. It lights the beards of the three thin necks, each craning a head to inspect the others and acting as a lever for its set of hooking horns. The god-goat is mute and severe.

Perfect

Iopinax the Younger, descendant of Athenreach's legendary three-headed goat, has travelled across the Sunderlies and Moghra'yi. Now, he may have found a companion to venture Qud with.

Despite Iopinax being depicted and described as having three heads, each with a pair of horns, these features are not represented mechanically. Instead, he bears one head of curved horns as both a short blade and a shield, and a \rock-scarred hoof on each forefoot which utilize his Multiweapon Fighting and Charging Strike (Cudgel) skills. Iopinax is also a light source with a radius of 3.

With the same natural ♦AV as a galgal, slightly higher resistances than Saad Amus, the Sky-Bear, and the inherent trait of refracting all light-based attacks, Iopinax the Younger may appear to have the defensive profile of a late-game creature. However, his starting attributes are typical of a Level 4 creature; specifically, his Toughness and Willpower give him circumstantial yet significant weaknesses to explosions and mental damage.
