Description
A gambado is a human-sized creature with a cylindrical torso that ends in three long, single-toed feet. Its body is gray in color and can be compressed like a spring; this allows the gambado to spring up or forward, which is its primary means of locomotion. Two long arms ending in razor-sharp claws protrude from its body, and its torso is topped by a humanoid skull-like head.
Other publishers
The gambado appeared in the Tome of Horrors (2002) from Necromancer Games.[5]
