Gnagrif
Level 2Attacks
Abilities
A gnagrif ignores difficult terrain caused by rocks or rubble, including squares affected by their Stomp Around.
Trigger A creature Strides or Steps into difficult terrain adjacent to the gnagrif
Effect The gnagrif gives the ground a hearty pound and it shifts beneath the triggering creature's feet. The triggering creature must succeed on a DC 18 reflex save or fall Prone.
The gnagrif huffs and stamps its feet, churning the ground around it. The square it is in and all unoccupied adjacent squares become difficult terrain.
Requirements A structure made from stone or earth is within the gnagrif's reach
Effect The gnagrif partially melds with the stone. It Takes Cover in the stone and makes a Stealth check to Hide: Stealth.
The gnagrif gnashes and tears at an object or structure, dealing (2d4+2)[piercing] damage and ignoring Hardness 2 or lower.
Whenever two or more gnagrifs use Eat Rocks on the same object or structure, the value of Hardness they can ignore increases by 1 for every gnagrif, to a maximum of Hardness 10.
Squat, surly, and perpetually covered in wet mud, gnagrifs are gremlins that infest and destroy homes. They possess sharklike faces and two sets of jaws, allowing them to open their mouths 180 degrees and clamp onto flat rocks and walls. They delight in keeping their presence hidden, chewing holes into walls and foundations that weaken structures but don't bring them down until their inhabitants slam their doors too hard or step in the wrong place. Soon as the unwitting victims spring the trap, the building collapses around them.
Like all fey, gnagrifs detest iron. Gnagrifs become obsessively vengeful if they accidentally swallow an iron nail or hinge, terrorizing families or whole villages for generations over the slight.
Gremlins are malicious fey that infest and prey upon mortal communities. They live in tunnels, beneath eaves, and in abandoned buildings, stealing what they need from their neighbors instead of creating for themselves.
While there are gremlins of any and every gender, their appearances don't differ by gender. Young gremlins grow to maturity with alarming speed. Their entire nest raises them communally, though they are often encouraged to wander unsupervised and create mischief away from home instead of inside it.
