Stone Talus (Luminous) Basic Info

Stone Talus (Luminous)
Stone Talus (Luminous)
This enormous monster is naturally camouflaged as a rock formation. Neither sword nor arrow can pierce its stony form, but a cunning adventurer knows to scale its body and attack the ore spouting from its peak. Stronger than your average Stone Talus, and unlike that creature, its ore deposit consists mostly of luminous stone.
