| ScareAs a Ready maneuver, a krenshar can pull the skin back from its head, revealing the musculature and bony structures of its skull. When a creature sees this display, it must roll a Fright Check. In addition, the krenshar can emit a magical screech that will cause this Fright Check to be made at a -1 penalty. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour. | — | — | — |

- Original GURPS conversion by Enraged Eggplant, from Monsters (May 11, 2024); adapted and republished with permission.
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/krenshar.gct
- Source template total: 30 points.
- Library-rebuilt template total: 30 points.
- CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
- Issue #5: 1 special ability construction(s) restored (Scare). 1 save-or-disable construction(s) are scored through the affliction term at the source's stated point cost, or at Binding ST where the source builds the ability as a Binding.
- CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 16, PR 4, CER 20, threat tier minor.
- Conversion baseline reported OR 9, PR 4, CER 13 (tier minor). The reviewed values come from the consumer CER implementation, which rounds damage once after the damage-type multiplier and credits ranged accuracy; the conversion baseline ceilinged the damage base first and ignored range.
- Encounter metadata derived (gregarious): average number appearing 6, wandering weight 4. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
- Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
- Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b4-special-mechanics); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
- Special-mechanics record. Mechanics the CER path cannot price are named per record in review/reports/cer-audit.md rather than folded into the number, and encounter counts are capped where a save-or-disable attack is present.
