Abilities
Ferocity —
Tenacious Stance — An aurumvorax gains a +4 circumstance bonus to its Fortitude or Reflex DC against Shove and Trip attempts, and to its Athletics DC against attempts to Escape its Grab.
Bleeding Critical — When an aurumvorax scores a critical hit, the target takes 1d6 bleed.
Gnaw Metal — The aurumvorax makes a jaws Strike against a creature it has grabbed. If the attack hits, the target is knocked Prone if it is Medium or smaller. In addition, if the target is wearing armor with Hardness 10 or lower, the armor becomes Broken. If this Strike breaks a creature's armor or damages a creature that is unarmored or wearing broken armor, the target also takes 1d6 bleed. This Strike doesn't further damage armor that's already broken.
Rapid Rake — The aurumvorax makes four claw Strikes against a creature it has grabbed. Each attack counts toward the aurumvorax's multiple attack penalty, and the multiple attack penalty increases with each attack.

WORKS WELL WITH
SniperLAND / SUBTERRANEANWhile this brute grapples and pins one target, a ranged attacker freely picks off the rest of the party.
SnareLAND / SUBTERRANEANA controller that locks down a second target lets this brute's rapid claw follow-ups finish its grabbed victim without interference.
ShadeLAND / SUBTERRANEANA stealthy ambusher can strike from hiding while this brute holds the party's attention with its relentless grapple.
PUNISHES
✖ grapple and trip reliance✖ isolated targets✖ melee reliance
Avoid stacking with another grappling brute; both need the same isolated victim for their follow-up attacks to work.
