Abilities

Mangling Rend◆◆

A megaprimatus makes two fist Strikes against the same target. If both hit, the attack deals an additional 2d6 bludgeoning damage, the target is Off-Guard, and the target takes a –20-foot status penalty to all Speeds until the end of its next turn.

Effect: Mangling Rend

Terrifying Display◆◆

The megaprimatus beats its chest in a terrifying display. Creatures within 50-foot area must attempt a DC 27 will save.

While a creature is Frightened by this ability, it is Off-Guard to the megaprimatus and to gorillas.

Critical Success No effect and temporarily immune for 1 minute.

Success The creature is unaffected.

Failure The creature is Frightened 1.

Critical Failure The creature is Frightened 2 and Fleeing until the end of its next turn.

The megaprimatus is among the mightiest of apes, quick to confront any perceived intrusions into its domain. With a height of 40 feet, it towers over even most giants, and is used to being the top-tier predator in the region.

While many apes exhibit peaceful or reclusive behavior, gorillas can be territorial, and the megaprimatus is especially aggressive and dangerous.
