Yrthak - Dungeons on Automatic Bestiary

Magical Beast · SM +3 Yrthak (Enraged Eggplant; answers SRD 3.5)

A blind flying reptile some twenty feet long, hunting entirely by sound from high above a canyon. It answers with a lance of focused noise that shatters stone, and the only reliable way to hide from it is to be genuinely silent.

Sonic LanceSonic Lance (14): Once per 5 seconds, a yrthak can focus sonic enery in a ray. This is a ranged attack with Acc 3 and Range 10/100 that costs 1 FP. The ray deals 4d burning non-incendiary damage. The attack produces an explosion at the point of impact (on a miss, check for scatter; see p. B414). The target takes damage normally; anything nearby receives “collateral damage” equal to basic damage divided by (3 x distance in yards from the blast). If the attack hits the ground, a large rock, a stone wall, or the like, it creates an explosion of shattered stone. Everyone within 5 yards is attacked with effective skill 15, modified by range penalties from the point of impact; see Fragmentation Damage (p. B414). The fragments deal 1d large piercing damage.	14	Once per 5 seconds, a yrthak can focus sonic enery in a ray. This is a ranged attack with Acc 3 and Range 10/100 that costs 1 FP.

Source system: gurps_4e_fan_conversion / author_permission

GCS ancestry draft: gcs/yrthak.gct
Source template total: 121 points.
Library-rebuilt template total: 121 points.
CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 31, PR 35, CER 66, threat tier major.
Conversion baseline reported OR 35, PR 35, CER 70 (tier major). 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 1, wandering weight 2. 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.
Description text is original Dungeons on Automatic prose written from this record's own converted statistics and from the project's art direction for the creature. It is not derived from the authorized fan-conversion source, which states no creature descriptions, and not from any SRD. It carries its own authorship and CC BY 4.0 terms in the description field. See review/policy/description-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.
