Many animals that would be commonplace in a standard D&D campaign have been driven to extinction and replaced by exotic creatures more adapted to the harsh environment of Athas.  \nThis sourcebook details the creatures that are unique to the Dark Sun campaign setting as well as provides a listing of creatures from the Monster Manual that are appropriate for the setting.  \nBeasts and Psionics  \nSeveral creatures described in this sourcebook possess the power to utilize psionics. Each entry lists which talents and disciplines the creature knows as well as their Psi Points and Psi Limit. Unless otherwise stated, creatures with psionic abilities should be treated as Wild Talents rather than full Mystics unless otherwise noted.  \nPsionics and Shapechanging   \nCreatures or characters that use wild shape, spells, magic items or other abilities to take the form of a creature with psionic abilities do gain the use of those abilities unless it is specifically stated otherwise. Psionic ability lies in the mind of a creature, not its form.  \nOn the other hand, this means that creatures or characters that possess psionic abilities of their own keep those abilities when they shapechange into any form.  \nRanger Companions  \nRangers of the beast conclave gain an animal companion who accompanies them and aids them in battle. The following beasts are acceptable companions for these characters:  \nApe  \nGorak *  \nGiant Badger  \nHyena, Spotted *  \nHyena, Striped *  \nJhakar *  \nPanther  \nWarthog *  \nGiant Weasel  \nKestrekel *  \nBeasts of the Wastelands  \nThe list on the next page details all of the beasts that can be found in Athas. Entries marked with an asterisk ( * ) are detailed in this sourcebook while all others are found in the Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual under the section Apendix A: Miscellaneous Creatures.  \nANIMALS OF ATHAS  \n1  \n| Creature | CR |\n| --- | --- |\n| Ape | 1/2 |\n| Baazrag * | 0 |\n| Baazrag Boneclaw * | 3 |\n| Baboon | 0 |\n| Badger | 0 |\n| Bat | 0 |\n| Carru, Bull * | 1/4 |\n| Carru, Cow * | 2 |\n| Cat | 0 |\n| Constrictor Snake | 1/4 |\n| Crodlu, Riding * | 1/4 |\n| Crodlu, War * | 1 |\n| Death Dog | 1 |\n| Eagle | 0 |\n| Erdland * | 1/4 |\n| Erdlu * | 0 |\n| Flying Snake | 1/8 |\n| Frog |  |\n| Giant Ape | 7 |\n| Giant Badger | 1/4 |\n| Giant Bat | 1/4 |\n| Giant Beetle ( Bombardier) * | 1/2 |\n| Giant Beetle ( Rhinoceros) * | 2 |\n| Giant Centipede | 1/4 |\n| Giant Constrictor Snake | 2 |\n| Giant Eagle | 1 |\n| Giant Fire Beetle | 0 |\n| Giant Frog | 1/4 |\n| Giant Lizard | 1/4 |\n| Giant Owl | 1/4 |\n| Giant Poisonous Snake | 1/4 |\n| Giant Rat | 1/8 |\n| Giant Scorpion | 3 |\n| Giant Spider | 1 |\n| Giant Toad | 1 |\n| Giant Vulture | 1 |\n| Giant Wasp | 1/2 |\n| Giant Weasel | 1/8 |\n| Giant Wolf Spider | 1/4 |\n| Gorak * | 1/2 |\n| Hatori, Greater * | 5 |\n| Hatori, Lesser * | 1/2 |\n| Hawk | 0 |\n\n\n| Creature | CR |\n| --- | --- |\n| Hyena, Spotted * | 1/4 |\n| Hyena, Striped * | 0 |\n| Hyenadon * | 1 |\n| Inix * | 2 |\n| Jackal | 0 |\n| Jhakar * | 1/4 |\n| Kank, Producer * | 1/4 |\n| Kank, Soldier * | 1/2 |\n| Kestrekel * | 1/8 |\n| Klar * | 4 |\n| Lirr * | 1 |\n| Lizard | 0 |\n| Mekillot * | 6 |\n| Owl | 0 |\n| Panther | 1/4 |\n| Phase Spider | 3 |\n| Poisonous Snake | 1/8 |\n| Quipper | 0 |\n| Rat | 0 |\n| Raven | 0 |\n| Rhynox * | 2 |\n| Rocktopus * | 1 |\n| Sand Shark * | 2 |\n| Scorpion | 0 |\n| Sloth, Athasian * | 1 |\n| Spider | 0 |\n| Swarm of Bats | 1/4 |\n| Swarm of Insects | 1/2 |\n| Swarm of Poisonous Snakes | 2 |\n| Swarm of Quippers | 1 |\n| Swarm of Rats | 1/4 |\n| Swarm of Ravens | 1/4 |\n| Swarm, Baazrag * | 1/2 |\n| Sygra * | 0 |\n| Sygra, Giant * | 1/2 |\n| Tagster * | 1 |\n| Tigone * | 2 |\n| Vulture | 0 |\n| Warhorse | 1/2 |\n| Warthog * | 1/4 |\n| Warthog, Giant * | 2 |\n| Weasel | 0 |\n\nANIMALS OF ATHAS  \n2  \nBaazrag  \nTiny beast, unaligned  \n\n| Armor Class 13 (natural armor)\u003Cbr>Hit Points 3 (1d4 + 1)\u003Cbr>Speed 40 ft. |\n| --- |\n| STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA |\n| 4 (-3) 12 (+ 1) 12 (+ 1","cbCaiq3UB7iongRs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq3UB7iongRs","pdf",3442969,18,"English","# Beasts and Psionics\n## Psionics and Shapechanging\n## Ranger Companions\n# Beasts of the Wastelands\n## Animals of Athas (Creature Listing)","[{\"question\":\"What determines whether a creature’s psionic ability works when shapechanging?\",\"answer\":\"Psionic ability lies in the mind of a creature rather than its form.
