Bhanyada Scavenger

Creature 8 (uncommon) — aberration

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Not much larger than dogs, the typical bhanyada scavenger is a warty, misshapen tangle of flesh that walks on stumpy legs, sometimes on two and sometimes on four. Plainly amalgamations of meat and gristle, few of which appear in the same color or texture, bhanyada scavengers have a horrifying mottled appearance. Their bulbous heads split into a maw with blunt teeth that shift about within their mouths to grind food. Bhanyada scavengers prefer living prey and usually hunt in numbers, often follow

Abilities

Extraneous Flesh — Frequency three times per day Trigger A Strike scores a critical hit on the bhanyada scavenger Effect A critical hit might simply sever a component chunk that the bhanyada can lose without much harm. The bhanyada scavenger 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 23 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.
Change Posture — The bhanyada changes between a bipedal and quadrupedal stance. In its bipedal stance, the bhanyada can't use Sudden Charge. In its quadrupedal stance, it loses its climb Speed.
Gnashing Bite — The bhanyada's teeth shift in its mouth as it bites. The bhanyada makes a jaws Strike. On a hit, the target takes an additional 2d10 bludgeoning damage, and the target is Slowed 1 for 1 round if the Strike dealt bludgeoning damage, or takes 1d8 persistent bleed damage if the Strike dealt piercing damage.
Sudden Charge — The bhanyada Strides twice and makes a jaws Strike at the end of its movement.
