/* Overview */
* Inflicts no [[Pain]] or [[Limb Damage]].
* The purpose of this attack is to generate a '''mist cloud''' on the Side in which it lands. The attack does not need to be aimed at any particular creature, as the cloud will affect every creature on the same Side.

* Inflicts no [[Pain]] or [[Limb Damage]].
* Upon using this technique, the creature will target a particular Side of the room other than their own. They will detect whether there are any creatures on that Side, but won't be able to tell how many nor what they are.
==== Mist cloud ====
* A failure still results in a mist cloud occurring, but for only 1 turn instead of the normal amount.
* A critical failure results in the mist ball disintegrating before it can create a mist cloud, thus failing entirely.

As should be expected for a threat level 5 creature, even well-prepared adventurers may find themselves having trouble defeating a gavodborz, as their entire body is reinforced by a type of natural, subdermal scale armor, covering the near-entirety of the beast's body, giving the gavodborz a bulky, chiseled appearance. This armor is bullet-resistant and comparable in protection level to medium body armor. As such, if you plan to fight a gavodborz, bring sufficiently powerful and/or armor-piercing ammunition, or other types of weapons that can reliably deal with such threats.
This creature has existed since the beginning of the [[History of the Mazes|medieval eras]], being referenced in numerous books. However, the etymology behind this creature's name does not appear to have any roots in the [[Languages|Old Tongue]]; there are no corresponding words or word roots that would make sense, and it seems the creature has been referred to as ''gavodborz'' since it first appeared. It is therefore unknown what ''gavodborz'' could be transliterated translated to, if anything.
