Aurican has some range of blindsense, which allows him to detect things that are obscure and invisible, and darksense which is basically night vision even though he only sees in black and white.

That said, does someone want to have their character a scare while he's about the apartment building? I imagine he takes up a good portion of the hallway up with his size alone. He's likely to see your character in front of him, but it's possible to run into him from behind.

Aurican does breathe fire, but in all honesty that might end up with burning a piece of furniture, a room, or the entire building. So ask with caution if you want him to light up a candle!
