Abilities

Construct Armor — Like normal objects, a crimson worm statue has Hardness. This Hardness reduces any damage it takes by an amount equal to the Hardness. Once a crimson worm statue is reduced to less than half its Hit Points, or immediately upon being damaged by a critical hit, its construct armor breaks and its Armor Class is reduced to 22.
Thrash — The crimson worm statue makes a Strike against each creature in its reach. It can strike up to once with its jaws and any number of times with its tail. Each attack counts toward the worm's multiple attack penalty, but the multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after it makes all its attacks.
Vomit WormsFrequency once per day

Effect The statue disgorges a Bore Worm Swarm into an adjacent 10-foot-by-10-foot space. Creatures in the swarm's area are immediately affected by the bore worm swarm's Swarming Bites, after which the bore worm swarm rolls initiative and acts independently before disappearing after 1d6 minutes.

WORKS WELL WITH

SnareLANDA controller that pins a foe in the reach zone turns the multi-target sweep into a guaranteed hit instead of a single opportunistic strike.
SniperLANDA ranged attacker stays outside the long reach and adds damage while the statue's sweep occupies melee attention.
WeaverLANDA caster debuffing saves complements the statue's own Fortitude-based swarm reinforcement, softening foes before the worms add pressure.

PUNISHES

✖ clumping✖ melee reliance
Its emergency ability adds a reinforcement swarm mid-fight, so pairing with another late-arriving reinforcement source can overwhelm the party's action economy within the same encounter.
