System-neutral monsters

A threat with no stat block to convert: what it is, how it hunts, what it wants, and the two or three things it can do that a table will remember afterwards. Give it whatever numbers your system uses — these are written so a 5e challenge rating, a PF2e level or a percentile roll all fit the same creature. The tactics note works in any ruleset, because it describes behaviour rather than actions per turn.
