Volts are peculiar, magical creatures that attack almost anything that ventures near their lair. They appear as little balls of grey fur with two protruding eyes and a long, whip-like tail that crackles with electricity.

Volt lairs usually smell slightly of ozone.

Treasure: None.

Special Abilities

Bite and Latch — If the creature's bite attack succeeds, it has latched onto its target and will do normal bite damage (1d4 hp) automatically every round.

Electric Tail Lash — At the same time it will lash its foe with its tail. The tail attack inflicts a strong electric shock (2d6 hp damage). Only victims not wearing metal armour receive a saving throw against this damage, and any victim wearing metal armour is treated as unarmoured (AC 10) for the purposes of the volt's attack.

Immunity — Immune to electricity and lightning.
