description: 'With long, cartilaginous limbs and gray skin, chokers easily hide in
|
|
stony alcoves, rocky fissures, and darkened staircases to ambush their prey. The
|
|
strange little aberrations prefer to pick off weak and solitary creatures, especially
|
|
those that wander off from their packs or communities. A choker''s long, spongy
|
|
arms are flexible but deceptively strong. The fingers can tighten rapidly and are
|
|
ridged with spiky, tooth-like structures that provide an incredible grip. A choker
|
|
typically strangles its prey to death, then drags the body off or dismembers it
|
|
using crude tools if the body is too big to carry. If confronted or outnumbered,
|
|
a choker tries to escape, often compressing into a tight passage to get away. Chokers
|
|
that encounter humanoids exhibit intense curiosity about their culture, society,
|
|
and the products of art and industry. This interest isn''t very deep—it just results
|
|
in chokers that like killing people and collecting any of their items that seem
|
|
sophisticated, such as jewelry, nice clothing, or written texts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chokers sometimes gather in settlements, usually sticking to slums or abandoned
|
|
structures. These chokers stalk at night, flopping across rooftops, tapping at windows,
|
|
and scuttling through sewers, gutters, and chimneys to get at prey. An urban choker
|
|
that finds prey early on its hunt—a wandering pet, a person who is out alone—might
|
|
spend the rest of the night indulging its curiosity about the products of society.
|
|
A curious choker might abscond with all sorts of odd items, from tavern signs to
|
|
library books to roof tiles. A choker usually pilfers only one item at a time, but
|
|
as its collection grows, it might need to find a larger nest to accommodate its
|
|
collection, then move its pieces one by one to the new home.
