The odopi is a many armed beast that first appeared in the Monster Manual III for edition 3.5 of the Dungeons and Dragons game. Since that time, the odopi has not been updated, nor has it been explored in any greater depth than its original monster entry.
This product is intended to breathe life back into the creature using a format that takes much of its inspiration from the "Ecology of..." articles from Dragon Magazine. The creature's life cycle, origins and behaviors are explored along with a grab bag of other goodies such as statistics for the various stages of an odopi's life, and even a small encounter including a cluster of the beasts.
The encounter is set in the Pasocada Basin in the Torillian continent of Anchôromé, but can easily be placed almost anywhere, particularly in badlands where tumbleweeds are more common than trees.
