The Pooka are giant tomatoes that have somehow - through magic &/or evolutionary means - grown sentient to some degree, dug into earth, & made hollows. Having feet, they move quickly & will automatically attack anyone that invades their space. Among humanoids, there are rumors of a man w/ a weapon that could potentially wipe out the Pooka. The weapon is said to be a complex, yet compact pumping system, which strikes out @ the victim & allows the wielder to pump the victim vigorously w/ air, exploding them within 3 rounds (when pump is attached & pumping is uninterrupted, Pooka cannot attack)*. Lastly, whenever Pooka are encountered, there is a 45% chance that a young Green Dragon will arrive in 1d6 turns. Pumping weapon gets +3 to hit against Green Dragons, & like vs. Pookas, when attached, & pumping uninterruptedly, GDs cannot attack.

*When using Pooka, it is suggested the DM place this weapon, &/or the man that wields it, within the setting.
