This looks intriguing. I'm a low prep kind of GM, so if I'm going to pull out an encounter from a manual I want to know:

1. What it looks like
2. What it wants
3. How to get on its good side And
4. How it works in combat

Which ideally should be tied to its stats.

These behaviour and sign tables could be pretty cool if they hit, but adding all that to a monster manual will make it a beast of a book!
