Abilities

Bounce

Trigger A creature that the gibtas spawn swarm can see targets the swarm with an attack


Effect The swarm bounces to the side and gains a +2 circumstance bonus to AC against the triggering attack. After the attack, the swarm can Stride up to its Speed in a straight line as part of the reaction.

Bounding Swarm

The gibtas spawn swarm moves in loping bounces. The swarm ignores difficult terrain.

Swarming Bites

Each enemy in the swarm's space takes 2d8 piercing 1d6 acid (DC 22 reflex save). A creature that fails its save against Swarming Bites also takes 1d4 persistent acid.

When a gibtas gorges itself on an incredible amount of flesh, it vomits up a pool of acid filled with tiny pink egg sacs that burst immediately. The new babies hunt as a pack, growing in size until they go their separate ways or consume each other.


This rubbery, spheroid scavenger is nearly all acid-dripping mouth, with five bulbous black eyes and two powerful, gangly legs. A gibtas often forms a bond with a single other creature-usually, a more powerful aberration- and serves this master loyally, if erratically. Creatures who keep a gibtas as a pet or guard soon learn to keep it away from any important possessions they don't want spattered with acid.
