Dracolisks are rare magical crossbreeds of chromatic dragons and basilisks. None now know how they first came to be, but they have proven viable and can breed with one another as well as with basilisks. While a dracolisk appears much like a young true dragon of its parent type, its eight legs are an immediate indication that it is something more. Its coloration varies, depending on the nature of its draconic ancestry, though it's lighter on its underside and darker near its wing tips. A typical

Abilities
Tremorsense 30 feet — Tremorsense allows a monster to feel the vibrations through a solid surface caused by movement. It is an imprecise sense with a limited range (listed in the ability). Tremorsense functions only if the monster is on the same surface as the subject, and only if the subject is moving along (or burrowing through) the surface.
Draconic Resistance — A black dracolisk has resistance 10 to acid damage.
Petrifying Glance (arcane, aura, visual) —
Breath Weapon (arcane) — The black dracolisk breathes a 60-foot line of energy. This breath weapon deals 6d10 acid damage, with a DC 28 Reflex save.
The dracolisk can't use Breath Weapon again for 1d4 rounds.
The dracolisk can't use Breath Weapon again for 1d4 rounds.
Petrifying Gaze (arcane, concentrate, incapacitation, visual) — The dracolisk stares at a creature it can see within 30 feet. That creature must attempt a DC 28 Fortitude save. If it fails and has not already been slowed by Petrifying Glance or this ability, it becomes Slowed 1. If the creature already was slowed by this ability or Petrifying Glance, a failed save causes the creature to be Petrified permanently.
A creature petrified in this manner can be instantly restored to flesh by being coated (not just splashed) with fresh dracolisk or basilisk blood no more than 1 hour old. A single dracolisk contains enough blood to coat Medium creatures in this manner.

Savage Jaws — The dracolisk makes a single Strike with its jaws. If the attack hits, it deals 4d12+16 piercing damage (versatile S). This counts as two attacks for its multiple attack penalty.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLAND / AERIALA durable frontline body keeps melee attackers positioned in the breath weapon's line while this brute recharges its blast.

Avoid stacking with another line-breath attacker; overlapping area blasts punish the same clumped position without adding new pressure.
