[Rq-rules] Funny chaotic critters

Simon's example below got me thinking of an amusing critter I used
extensively against the PC:s in a campaign where they spent many weeks
in swamp; The Exploading Toad. Pretty weak when it comes to giving
damage (Bite 1D6) and in HP, but annoying nevertheless because they are
extremely aggressive and after biting for a while they will get that
inevitable critical or impale, so you can't really ignore them. Their
main chaotic feature is "Explodes when Dies" doing 3D6 of damage to
everything around them. However, the swamp was also full of Skeletons so
the toads could also be used as a kind of remote bombs that could be
"triggered" with an arrow.

My group played a few sessions where some sort of lizard man type
creatures did weird stuff when they died. (The GM at the time may have
got this out of Dorastor, Land of Doom....) anyway, some turned to
stone, some just became normal corpses, some turned to dust, some
exploded, violently, some putrified to acid like substance, can't
remember what else.... Made for some interesting play, try remove
impaled sword from a sudden statue, or realise that the foe yo have just
killed is going critical.
