The dreadhodge is an uncommon creature from the Door of Horror, although populous enough that their existence is common knowledge within the Door.
Most dreadhodges have the unfortunate combination of being nearsighted and being able to move extremely fast. The result is they tend to crash into things at high speeds with frequency that explains why they are an ‘uncommon’ creature to encounter and possibly why they reproduce so rapidly.
Dreadhodges are able to mitigate damage through the use of blood which they absorb through the prickly spines that cover their head and backs. This blood is utilized as a sort of supernatural impact distributor and rather than shatter bone and muscle they simply spray blood everywhere upon collision. If they are quick, they can recover a good portion of this blood loss.
Dreadhodges average a little over 1 meter tall (give or take 20 cm, averaging around four foot for our American friends) but are extremely dense and strong, and can do significant damage in a collision. In an attack, most will somersault so their powerful spines impact the target and they do so with enough force to seriously damage heavy steel.
