Move: 40' (60' in feral bear form) Note: In feral form Landon can easily outrun a human over short distances. Over a protracted run (1 mile+) she is no faster than a man (40').

Hit Dice/Points: 7d10+8d8+75 (180 HP)

Armor Class: 31 (+2 Dex, +7 natural, Monstertown officer's armor, +3 magic), DR 10/silver (Were)

Note: Landon's alchemically toughened leather armor is the equal of field plate (+9 AC), but is light enough to not slow her down. Due to the inconvenience of needing, potentially, three suits for her various forms, she had it enchanted so it changes enough to accommodate her when she shifts from bear to bearwoman form. It cannot shrink to fit her rarely seen human form.

Magic Items: Large Icy Burst falchion +2, Ring of Protection +3, Greater Ring of Energy Resistance (fire) DR 20/fire and heat, Bracers of Attack +3

Feats: Power Attack, Improved Grab, Improved Critical (Falchion), Improved Overrun, Cleave, Multiattack, Improved Natural Weapon (bite), Improved Initiative

Skills: Survival/Track +17 (+25 if target has any odor), Swim +12 (+8 in any bear form) (can always take 10), Sense Motive +15, Listen +20, Spot +10 (may use Track skill of +25 instead if target has any odor at all), Hide +6 (-1 in armor, +12 if out of armor in a polar environment). [1500 pounds bears aren't great at hiding in general], Move Silently +10, Intimidate +20/size L, +24/size M, +28/size small [on the other hand, she is great at looming over people], Note: her skills include +8 to Swim, Listen and Track due to her polar bear nature and keen senses. She also gets +8 to Intimidate because she is an enormous bear.

Initiative: +6

Attacks: (Bear form) 2 claws +27 melee 1d8+15, 1 bite +25 melee 3d6+9. Bearwoman form: As above or Large +2 Icy Burst Falchion +27/+22 melee 2d6+15 (16-20), claw +25 melee 1d8+9, bite +25 melee 3d6+9,

Note: Her Bracers of Attack give her +3 to hit and damage with all natural weapon attacks and render her immune to touch-inflicted effects she might suffer from hitting someone, such as level drain from Undead or acid from blobs.

Improved Grab: In bear or bearwoman form Landon can use Improved Grab to grapple someone she claws. This does not provoke an attack of opportunity. Her grapple check is +35. Until the grapple is escaped she will hold onto her opponent and maul them, with with all three natural attacks or one claw and one bite if she is holding onto her falchion. She cannot attack a grappled person with her falchion but could use it to attack someone else, albeit at an additional -5 to hit.

Overrun: Her imposing size allows her to simply burst past or run over people, or even groups of people smaller than she is. She's been known to send creatures the size of warhorses flying. When Captain Landon wins an Overrun check against resistance (her bonus is +35), she may elect to do one paw attack's worth of damage (+4 to hit, at full strength bonus) to each person she tramples. Her Overrun attacks DO provoke Attacks of Opportunity but hitting her on the way in won't stop her unless the damage is fatal. They cannot simply be avoided, they must be resisted. Most often she uses this to disperse and intimidate crowds of weak adversaries who are unlikely to be able to hurt her much on the way in - people without silver weapons, for example.

Human form: Rumor has it that Jezail Landon is a tall, muscular and quite stout woman of deep voice and plain features. Many scars mar her arms and even her face and it is obvious at first glance that she is a professional warrior. She weighs approximately 300 pounds in this form and stands 6'6" tall, which means she can look the average gul in the eye. 'Rumor has it' because she is practically never in this form, preferring to stay in one of her bear morphs. The exception would be if she is undercover or (possibly) at home, though even there she is seen to tend her garden in bearwoman form or swim in full bear form.

Feral bear form: Landon is a polar werebear, an enormous white-furred beast who stands five feet tall at the shoulder and weighs some 1500 pounds. In this form she can stand on her hindpaws to 11' tall. Due to her experienced as a Were, she can perform partial shifts, and even in this form she can be assumed to have hands.

Bearwoman form: A hybrid of human and bear forms, this one has more pronounced shoulders and the ability to use weapons other than her claws and bite. It is as tall and heavy as her feral form on hindpaws. While she does not possess "huge tracts of land" her broad hips and visible bosom make her gender obvious. Pointing this out in an offensive way occasionally results in a violent response but she is an officer of the Guard and is unlikely to kill over something so trivial. Bruise and batter maybe, but not kill.

Captain Landon appears to be a polar werebear from the remote north. In fact she is a bearwere: an actual polar bear with intelligence and the ability to assume half-human and human forms. Dissatisfied with the company of simple bears, she headed south, blending in as a human but returning to bear forms to fight. When her Were nature became public knowledge she found that despite her trustworthy nature, some towns simply wouldn't let her in. Disappointed, she prepared to head home, only to hear of a 'Monster town' where all are welcome. She was pleased to learn that she could walk down the street as an 11 foot tall werebear or 5-feet-at-the-shoulder feral bear and hardly cause an eyebrow to be raised.

The only remaining quibble was that despite Greyston's elevation, it was far enough south that the summers were uncomfortably warm to her. This was solved when a senior guard officer offered her a job with the bonus of a Greater Ring of Fire Resistance. This ring has been so tweaked that in addition to giving her DR 20 versus heat and fire, it keeps her nice and cool. Her steadfast and loyal nature, plus her fighting ability saw her start as a Lieutenant and rise quickly to Captain. This earned her a +3 Ring of Protection that works even when she is wearing her (only slightly magical) guard armor.

This armor is a close-fitting suit of rigid leather armor, resembling leathery field plate, and includes a helmet custom made for her huge bear head. Strips of steel are bolted to the abnormally tough armor. Her suit is far too large for a human but given her enormous strength it does not impede her movements at all and only has a minimal effect on her skills. She almost always wears the armor when on duty, even when at the precinct house. At home she is often seen quite naked in feral form, if you don't include her white fur. Landon's skin, where it shows, is black.

Landon is a steady and reliable person and well-liked by the citizens. If need be she will browbeat someone into complying, aided by the fact that she is big enough to break a man like a breadstick, but she does not employ violence for no reason. If she hits someone for irritating her, it is someone she knows can take the punishment. Smashing a werewolf through a wall for ogling her bear assets won't kill him, for example.

Landon's sense of smell is outstanding and she often patrols the market and caravansary, sniffing out contraband or ne'er-do-wells. When in full bear form she often straps on a saddle atop her armor and lets a guard officer ride her. Due to her size even the werewolf officers will fit. An 8 foot tall, 500 pound (plus armor) werewolf is no burden to her.

She lives in Giant Towne, where she is as large as the smaller giants and blends in well. It is not unheard of for some sorts of giants to have fur, after all. Her house abuts Quail Lake (more of a pond really) and she does daily swims there to keep in shape and clean off. Landon does not sweat in bear form and if it were not for her Ring of Fire Resistance she'd spend a lot more time in that lake to stay cool.

Due to her habit of staying at least half bear, and the fact that she actually is a bear, almost all of her relationships are interspecies. Barring a romp with a local werebear like Jonas, an actual bear or possibly a magically fertile beast like a dragon she will not get pregnant and it is known that she will bring a prospective lover, male or female, back to her home for noisy and possibly injurious play. (She doesn't hurt her lovers on purpose, but she is a bear. A big one.) She has little to no interest in her human form for sex, or at any other time for that matter. She is naturally a bear. She keeps any flings with fellow guardsmen brief and impersonal as fraternization is not encouraged. Her occasional trysts with all three of the werewolf brothers at once don't change her behavior toward them on duty. She keeps her on-duty and off-duty lives emotionally separate.

Due to years of travel among humans and a great deal of practice in the limited sort of shape changing Weres can do, she is very good at it. She has enhanced her jaws muscles through much time and effort to make her bite more powerful and routinely changes her forepaws to paw-hands if she needs those in full bear form.

She has learned how to stretch and deform her body in more extreme ways. Early on, after witnessing a large snake swallowing a man whole, and in the course of modifying her jaws to bite harder, she worked out how to stretch her mouth around an entire human. This was useful when she needed to hide a body or smuggle something in or out of a city. She would later regurgitate the items, or the bones of her meal, since she could not digest them, along with any armor and gear. After arriving at Monstertown, where swallow whole predators are not rare, she visited a fleshcrafter known as The Body Shoppe and paid for the ability to digest bones. Her stomach is now smart enough to digest her prey while keeping any armor or other indigestibles separate, allowing her to cough them up at her convenience.

An earlier encounter with a depraved gnome who wanted very badly to bodily crawl into her pussy led her to discover that this was in fact pretty easy, and with practice, even a whole man will fit inside her. She cannot digest prey in her womb, and assuming they have some way to breathe she can safely reverse the unbirthing process at will. She made quite a few coins doing this to (and for) people in lean times.

The same deviant gnome, who thanks to magic items survived many trips in and out of her huge bear pussy, also wanted to explore her other orifices. While Landon was rather dubious about the whole thing she swallowed him and the gnome successfully passed entirely through her body, emerging safe and alive (if filthy) thanks to the magical devices he used to support his deviant habits. Further experimentation (and payment by the gnome) showed Landon that not only could she shove a gnome up her ass, but with practice she could squeeze him backwards through her guts and eventually deposit him in her stomach.

No one else seemed to want to pay her to experience this but one day a human bandit irritated her to the point that she grabbed him and shoved him right up her ass, eventually swallowing him into her bowels and with considerable effort sending him to her stomach, where his lack of the gnome's protective devices meant that he suffered the same fate as if she'd swallowed him the usual way. The first few times she did this she found it deeply uncomfortable, and was even sick on one occasion due to digestive systems not being meant to work in reverse, but polar bears are very carnivorous and her stomach soon accepted the fact that meat is meat no matter how it gets there. The naturally flexible nature of a Were meant that more than one bandit experienced the horrific fate of being sucked into a bear's asshole and digested.

She rarely uses any of these feeding techniques, but they are all there, and given her strong grappling skills it is entirely possible for her to grab the average opponent and stuff him into any of her holes, either suffocating him in her womb or digesting him if she swallows or anal vores him. There was a famous incident in which she sat on a dwarven ne'er-do-well, there was a squelch, and he was just gone - into which hole no one could say, but he was never seen again.

Should she elect to swallow someone, the process is typical for swallow whole predators. Hit with a claw attack to start a grapple, win the grapple check, and win another at the start of the next round to swallow them whole. She can gulp down a whole man in seconds and digest one in a day, bones and all. Her ability to handle larger than man sized prey whole is uncertain but rumor has it she has unbirthed at least one werewolf substantially larger than a man.

Unbirthing uses a similar process but would require three consecutive grapple successes, one to grab, one to stuff and one to finish swallowing. Anal vore requires four, one grab, then three rounds of using the victim as an anal dildo. Through considerable practice and learning about her flexible body she's developed the ability to suck someone into either of her lower holes. Once they are started on the way in, it takes a lot of strength to escape.

Being trapped in her womb can (at her discretion) inflict a tremendous amount of crushing damage. She can squeeze trapped prey for 2d6+12 points of damage, crushing them with her mighty body. Alternately, she can do no damage at all. It entirely depends on whether it's a friendly encounter or not. If she crushes someone to death, she will likely eat them once they are rebirthed. She is flexible enough to curl over herself and swallow someone as they emerge from her pussy. Typically she does this with dead people, but living ones are food too on occasion. Or she can rebirth someone and then immediately anal vore them. There are many possibilities when a horny, predatory bear is at work.

Her digestive tract is short due to her carnivorous nature and whether her prey are swallowed or anal vored, at the end of the swallowing process they are in her stomach and take 2d6+12 crushing damage and 8 points of damage a round until dead. She can elect not to crush them in this case as well, but she cannot turn off her stomach acids. As far as it is concerned, anyone who ends up in there is fair game. Assuming they are not digested, suffocated or crushed, she is capable of passing a live human through her digestive tract in either direction. More typically, it is a one time visit to her guts.

Her abilities in these areas are known to the guard (it was fellow predatory guard officers who told her about the Body Shoppe) and word has made its way to the city's seedy fetish community. It is not illegal for her to accept money to suck someone into her vagina or shove them up her ass, or simply swallow them, as long as everyone is happy with the deal and no one gets killed.

While she is not fixated on any of this, she is by nature highly carnivorous, and as usual with predatory guard officers she sometimes quite willingly serves as a body disposal when someone needs to be gotten rid of. Others are as safe as around any other reputable officer. She will not eat you for no reason but more than one wrongdoer now exists only as fat on a massive polar bear and whatever of him made its way into the city sewer system.
