At first glance, the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing appears nothing more than an old tree stump with a deep gash, with several exposed roots extending from its base. Often resting on top of its stump is a small creature, such as a furry mammal or bird. This appearance is all a ruse, however, as the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing is a vicious hunter. If inspected closely, one will notice that the deep gash, which is filled with rows of sharp poisonous thorns, is the creature's mouth. The wolf-in-sheep's-clothing uses its roots like tentacles to move and snatch prey

Create Lure.

The wolf-in-sheep's-clothing has a unique trait that makes it a very successful ambush predator. It has a strange organ inside its body that it can push out on top of its 'head.' This organ can then transform and mimic a small creature that the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing has eaten. This mimic is then used as a lure, manipulated to move and twitch, in conjunction with the creature's Mimicry ability, to make it look alive in order to draw the attention of would-be prey. A few have become crafty enough to create small sleeping humanoids and place enticing items beside them to would-be robbers.

Sinister Partners.

The wolf-in-sheep's-clothing lives where it can blend in naturally with its surroundings and where prey is plentiful. Thus, it is often encountered in forests, swamps, and other areas where there is dense foliage and undergrowth. It is normally a solitary creature, but a few have been known to tolerate the presence of black duwendes, harpies, and tikbalangs. These creatures lure victims to the wolf-in-sheep'sclothing, which does the dirty work. Once the wolf-insheep's-clothing has fed, they carefully scoop up any valuable spoils that the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing discards. As long as they keep the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing fed, it leaves them alone.
