[ @bowelfly was disappointed when my “dagnabbit porn bots” post wasn’t an actual monster, so I figured I’d stat up the character I used for the header image. Boggy Creek 2: And the Legend Continues is not a good movie by any means. Like so many creature features, it spends a lot of its runtime walking around the woods, and it has a leering misogyny towards its female characters. The movie picks up in the last fifteen minutes when we meet Crenshaw here, a swamp rat who accidentally caught hisself a little Bigfoot. Jimmy Clem was something of a luck charm for director Charles B. Pierce, having appeared in almost all of his movies, and you can see why. He’s got a lot of charisma playing a gross weirdo, and he steals the show.
This version leans a bit more into the fantasy setting of Pathfinder, but assumes that something like the events of Boggy Creek 2 have already happened in the flavor text. Even if you don’t want swamp sasquatches in your game, these statistics should do a good job for a variety of backwoods gun-toting types.]
Old Man Crenshaw
CR 2 CN Humanoid (dwarf)
This large, fat man has a ragged beard, a balding head and a scowling expression. He wears simple clothes
and a strange headband, and carries a gun.
Old Man Crenshaw is a backwoods hunter, trapper and distiller. He has naval training, but jumped ship and headed up river, living in a shack tucked away near the river bottoms. Crenshaw is tall for a dwarf, and many people mistake him for human; his “old man” sobriquet is due to the fact that he’s been around for several (human) generations. He occasionally works as a guide for explorers, but he makes a living sells moonshine, pelts or alchemical remedies. Crenshaw distrusts city folk, government officials, or anyone with pretensions.
Old Man Crenshaw’s life became much more exciting recently, when he accidentally caught a sasquatch child in one of his traps. Crenshaw took the youth home, fixed up his broken leg as well he could, and spent several weeks under siege by its father, who was attempting to rescue the boy. The young sasquatch would have died if not for the aid of a traveling scholar and his students, who treated the humanoid’s infected wounds and returned him to his family. Following this close call, Crenshaw has a newfound respect for the more monstrous denizens of his swamp, and works to protect them from intruders.
