bios for Cassette Beast Pawndead

Pawndeads spend much of their time in a dormant state, transmuting their bodies into a durable granite. These Pawndead “statues” can alarm unwitting travellers passing by, who find themselves unexpectedly in the company of expressionless, skull-faced monsters.

In the game of chess, the “pawn” is the most common piece. It can only move one space at a time, and can only “capture” pieces that are positioned either side of the space in front of it. Despite its limited movement capabilities, it should not be underestimated.
