In the [[Dungeons & Dragons]] [[role-playing game]], the '''boobrie''' is a [[magical beast]] loosely based upon the [[Wikipedia:Boobrie|boobrie]] of [[Wikipedia:Scottish Highlands|Scottish Highlands]] folklore. It is a giant relative of the [[stork]] (12 feet tall), and lives in swamps and marshes. It attacks by finding a tall patch of grass, hiding in it, and waiting for prey to come. The boobrie hardly ever attacks humanoids, instead sustaining itself on [[catfish]], [[snake]]s, [[lizard]]s, giant [[insect]]s, and other wetland dezinens. The boobrie, due to things it has been forced to eat in lean times, is immune to poison. It has some magical properties.
