Abilities
Construct Armor (Hardness 10) — Like normal objects, an animated furnace has Hardness. This Hardness reduces any damage the furnace takes by an amount equal to the Hardness. Once an animated furnace is reduced to fewer than half its Hit Points, or immediately upon being damaged by a critical hit, its construct armor breaks, removing the Hardness and reducing its Armor Class to 26.
Fan the Flames — The animated furnace opens its door and fans its flames in a 30-foot cone that deals 5d6 fire damage (DC 28 Reflex save).
Swallow Whole (attack) — Large, 2d8+9 fire, Rupture 15
The monster attempts to swallow a creature of the listed size or smaller that it has grabbed or restrained in its jaws or mouth. If a swallowed creature is of the maximum size listed, the monster can't use Swallow Whole again. If the creature is smaller than the maximum, the monster can usually swallow more creatures; the GM determines the maximum. The monster attempts an Athletics check opposed by the grabbed creature's Reflex DC. If it succeeds, it swallows the creature. The monster's mouth or jaws no longer grab a creature it has swallowed, so the monster is free to use them to Strike or Grab once again. The monster can't attack creatures it has swallowed.
A swallowed creature is Grabbed, is Slowed 1, and has to hold its breath or start suffocating. The swallowed creature takes the listed amount of damage when first swallowed and at the end of each of its turns while it's swallowed. If the victim Escapes this ability's grabbed condition, it exits through the monster's mouth. This frees any other creature grabbed in the monster's mouth or jaws. A swallowed creature can attack the monster that has swallowed it, but only with unarmed attacks or with weapons of light Bulk or less. The swallowing creature is Off-Guard against the attack. If the monster takes piercing or slashing damage equaling or exceeding the listed Rupture value from a single attack or spell, the swallowed creature cuts itself free. A creature that gets free by either Escaping or cutting itself free can immediately breathe and exits the swallowing monster's space.
Effect: Engulf and Swallow Whole
If the monster dies, a swallowed creature can be freed by creatures adjacent to the corpse if they spend a combined total of 3 actions cutting the monster open with a weapon or unarmed attack that deals piercing or slashing damage.

WORKS WELL WITH
SniperLANDA ranged attacker can keep dealing damage from outside the cone while the furnace's Hardness and slow Speed anchor the front line.
FlankerLANDA mobile striker can exploit the Off-Guard opening on a target already Grabbed and struggling against the furnace.
WeaverLANDA caster can debuff Reflex saves so the fan of flames catches a group the furnace's slow Speed could never chase down alone.
