Chessure is a fictional creature in the DC Universe. It is the monstrous pet/bodyguard of Malice Vundabar, youngest member of the Female Furies. The name “Chessure” is an apparent reference to the Cheshire Cat.

Frightful Presence: Any time Chessure attacks, creatures within 60 feet of it must succeed on a Will save (DC 20) or become scared (if over 10HD) or panicked (if 10HD or less).

Improved Grab: If Chessure hits with its bite attack, it starts a grapple.

Swallow Whole: If Chessure establishes a grapple and succeeds in pinning the opponent, it swallows the opponent, who is transported to a nightmare dimension from which there is no known escape.

Semicorporeal: Chessure exists only partially in this reality. All attacks against him, physical, psychic or mystic suffer a 50% miss chance.
