Helmasauruses are dinosaur-like reptiles wearing metal masks. They are fond of charging. A Helmasaur’s defensive armour is mainly concentrated in its mask, so its AC is lower if it is attacked from behind. Unlike the weaker Helmasaurs, a Helmasaurus’s mask cannot be grappled off.

A huge red dragon with black armour, Argorok prefers high places. It has a wide variety of attacks available to it, making it perhaps one of the toughest enemies in the game. Its presence alone may cause characters to run in fear. However, successfully knocking or pulling Argorok from the sky, causing it to slam into the ground, will cause it to lose bits of its black armour for -1 AC per knockdown. Without any armour at all, its AC is 27.
