Hi. I was wondering if anyone had the original stats for the Roper (first presented in The Strategic Review # 2 if I recall correctly?) I'm very interested in seeing this beastie in its earliest form. My latest dungeon's possessed of a deep, dark pit in need of something a bit special lurking at the bottom of it...
Many thanks.

These are the stats given in The Strategic Review, Volume 1, No 2.
The Roper
Number Appearing 1-3
Armor Class 0
Move 3"
Hit Dice 10-12 (8's)
% in Lair 90%
Treasure Type D*
Bite for 5-20 hit points
Standard hit = must save vs. Poison
Magical Resistance 80%
Cannot be Charmed
Highly intelligent
Alignment C
* metal only as it devours anything else; however, it has a gizzard-like organ which can contain gems (if the roll for treasure so indicates) from 20-50 in number.
Takes half-damage at most from cold, but is very suseptable to fire (-4 on its saving throw).

That's brilliant, waysoftheearth! Cheers! Junior is now installed in his new home and is eager to have adventurers over for dinner. I'll let you know when the screaming starts..!
