@{B}Silent Death Description:@{UB}@{PAR}

Silent death is an intelligent piece of swamp that can change appearance and
inner structure to either cause a creature to fall fast to its death, or permit
passing over without falling through. It's hard to see, hard to recognize, and
hard to re-locate.@{PAR}

@{B}Silent Death Combat:@{UB}@{PAR}

A silent death only attacks when it feels doing so is safe. It can lure animals
by emitting a smell that the target finds pleasant, or create an illusion of
something that the target would like (generally, food.) It can use its ESP
ability to detect close-by animal life to it, as well as sensing the tremors of
foot steps. With hunger, it gets more aggressive, attacking even numerous
targets, even when they are not all within attack range; with size, it gets more
intelligent. People are a favorite target. A general attack starts with
paralytic venom to target's foot or paws so as to stop it from fighting back and
crying for aid. After that, success causes the target to disappear, falling into
the silent death, failure may stop the attack unless the victim detects it. Armor
one might not.@{PAR}

Solitary, thinking food-oriented. However, with size its powers increase,
permitting communication with others of its kind. Also, the scope of interests
widens with intelligence, and one may converse with other races, too.@{PAR}

As rare, it imbalances little. It's fruit and flowers, the only sure way to
detect one, are food to local animal life.@{PAR}

There are multiple dungeon variations.@{PAR}
