Night Seer. The ability to see in the dark, but also being affected by light sources, mainly the sunlight being too bright, making it almost impossible to see during the day time   Amphibious. The Ability to hold ones breath for a very long time, in a large body of water, surprisingly, most insects and monster has this skill   Low Pain Tolerance. The ability to feel less pain then there is actually is, keeps a cool head for the monster/people/entity's with this ability (-1d6 - person's damage towards the target)   Roach Screech. When bellow half of it's health, the roach will let out a loud screech, it will attract other roaches to it's location. This action can only be preformed by once per battle (1d20, 1 to 6: none arrives, 7 - 17: 1 roach arrives, 18 - 20, 2 roaches arrives) , however if there is more then one roach, only one can preform this action in that battle

Basic Info   *You can decide on what's bellow or above, I normally go from the middle point of their dice throw, such as D20, 10 is bellow, 11 is above.*     Investigation Checks   Bellow 13*   It's a overgrown Roach, you can tell that it has been down here for centuries, apparently it's also attracted to light objects, however, it won't get close to anything that's to hot for them to handle   Above 14*   A abnormally large roach, with a hint colour of light brown for its legs & Dark brown for its outer shell. You can notice that the roach has a bit of a green with a bit of white texture, there was rotting flesh on its jaws, like it suddenly stop eating. You concluded that the roach was eating a corpse, meaning it was attracted to your light, but didn't get to close when it felt the heat. You can tell that the roaches high is just slightly under a 5.4 foot person.

Suggested Environments

Lush Cave- A lush cave, that has life for all types of plants, but will normally find jungle like plants, then normal surface plants, normally you will find the mini ponds with tons of water, the floor however has an odd pattern of squares, however the plants somehow get throw the cracks, making room for them to grow, it's also full with dangerous insects, animals & other creatures.   Stone Cave- A Cave that's full of stone & other materials you may need on your adventures. The Area's have a lot of opened areas, normally in a shape of a circle, In the surrounding circle has a lot of stalagmites & stalactites. The area will normally be infested with hungry animals, few insects & other creatures.   Moist Caves- A cave that's perfect for any insect, it's just humid enough, for them to survive, with it being over grown with green moss, with the deeper you going into the cave, the more likely of finding bioluminescent moss. Which can be used for magic items, but also to be sold to merchants who specialize in magic.   Cave Sounds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTj6EFaz1Es
