Characteristics

Spiked clubs are little Humanoid monsters with blue skin. They wear a green furred mask that cover their little faces, all we know about it is that they have a little pair of black eyes on it. They all also wield a wooden spiked club, with spikes on the top of it that gives the monster their name; more dangerous than the Hammer that Hammerhoods and Brownies use to attack.
