CrasherAnvilLANDaberration
The largest bhanyadas are made up of tens of thousands of component parts, all mashed together into a roughly humanoid shape that walks on stumpy legs. Bhanyada behemoths usually have at least four thick arms ending in meaty fists, although some behemoths have a profusion of hands sprouting from their torsos. A bhanyada behemoth's head is studded with tiny eyes all over its surface that observe the surrounding terrain and give information so the entire amalgamation can move in unison. Gobbets o

Trigger A Strike scores a critical hit on the bhanyada behemoth
Effect A critical hit might simply sever a component chunk that the bhanyada can lose without much harm. The bhanyada behemoth attempts a DC 11 Flat. On a success, it doesn't take any extra damage from the critical hit (although it takes other effects normally, such as critical specialization effects).

Odor of Rot (aura, olfactory) — 10 feet. Creatures other than aberrations that enter or start their turn in the bhanyada's aura must succeed at a DC 29 Fortitude save or become Sickened 1 (Sickened 2 on a critical failure). A creature that succeeds at its save is temporarily immune for 1 minute.
Lumbering Swings — The bhanyada behemoth Strides and makes up to four fist Strikes at any point during that movement. Each Strike must target a different creature. The attacks take the normal multiple attack penalty.
Throw Rock — The monster picks up a rock within reach or retrieves a stowed rock and throws it, making a ranged Strike.
