Cuetzmonquali makes two tail Strikes, each targeting a different creature. These attacks count toward Cuetzmonquali's multiple attack penalty, but the penalty doesn't increase until after both attacks.
Cuetzmonquali charges forward and attempts to gore a foe. It Strides and attempts a horn Strike. On a hit, the target becomes impaled on one of Cuetzmonquali's horns. The creature becomes Grabbed. If Cuetzmonquali moves, it brings the grabbed creature along with it.

Though stories call it the Burning Dragon, Cuetzmonquali is a unique creature with no draconic heritage. Cuetzmonquali resembles an enormous reptile with large frills, two tails ending in massive stingers, and scales that appear to be made of burning flame. Cuetzmonquali is capable of growing any number of horns from its head, on which it can impale and trap its enemies. Each horn grows in a burst of searing flame that burns flesh and scales and results in a blackened obsidian spike jutting from its forehead. These horns molt off occasionally, leaving behind warnings of the beast's presence.
In combat, Cuetzmonquali is a terrifying foe who uses its horns to skewer foes, unleashes white-hot blasts of flame to devastate those who don't approach, and injects a potent burning venom that ignites a foe from within their own body, sapping their strength. Against groups of weaker foes, it simply tramples them to death underfoot. Anyone courageous enough to face Cuetzmonquali and powerful or cunning enough to slay the creature can lay claim to the treasure that lies in its belly: the legendary artifact known as the Spear of the Destroyer's Flame .
