Ecology: Shamblers dwell between dimensions. They can travel freely between planes, and will wander from planet to planet (or plane to plane) as they will. Dimensional Shamblers may act as servants of the Outer Gods and Great Old Ones, but otherwise, little else is known about them.
Personality/Motivation: It is unknown what drives a shambler. Some may be commanded by other forces, while most seem to simply travel at random. It should be noted that shamblers in general are hostile to those who encounter them.
Powers/Tactics: A shambler attacks with its long talons, slashing at a foe. It will also attempt to grapple with a foe and haul them off to another plane. If hard pressed or wounded, the shambler will also leave for the safety of somewhere else.
Appearance: A shambler is a tall, wide creature, with a slack, loose hide and a blank staring face. It is roughly humanoid, with large hands and long talons. It is said to be "... not wholly ape and not wholly insect."
Designer's Notes: The dimensional shambler is a creature of the Cthulhu Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft. This design was based upon the dimensional shambler presented in the 5th Edition of Call of Cthulhu. It makes a good template for a demonic servant (or other "wizard's pet"). Options for the shambler include larger size (more STR and BODY), a higher DEX, and the possibility of spells or spell-like powers. Note that most Call of Cthulhu spells aren't really combat type magic and are more like extended rituals for summoning and binding creatures.
