The largest solifugids, duneshakers, are so immense that their movements make the terrain around them tremble. They can prey on creatures the size of mammoths or even larger.

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.
Earth Shaker (move) — Each turn, the first time the duneshaker solifugid is adjacent to a Large or smaller creature during a move action it's using, that creature must succeed at a DC 39 Reflex save or fall Prone.
Pounce — The duneshaker solifugid Strides and makes a Strike at the end of that movement. If the duneshaker solifugid began this action Hidden, it remains hidden until after this ability's Strike.
Rend — Claw

A Rend entry lists a Strike the monster has.

Requirements The monster hit the same enemy with two consecutive Strikes of the listed type in the same round.

Effect The monster automatically deals that Strike's damage again to the enemy.
Venom Spray (poison) — The duneshaker solifugid spews toxic barbs at all creatures in a 30-foot cone. Each creature within the area takes 10d6 poison damage (DC 39 Fortitude save). A creature that fails its saving throw is Blinded for 1d6 rounds (or permanently on a critical failure).

The duneshaker solifugid can't use Venom Spray again for 1d4 rounds.

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLAND / SUBTERRANEAN / VERTICALThe anvil's stationary threat and the solifugid's Earth Shaker force enemies to split attention between two incompatible engagement ranges.
SniperLAND / SUBTERRANEAN / VERTICALThe solifugid's reach and prone-forcing movement suppress enemy advance, protecting a sniper's preferred standoff distance.
SnareLAND / SUBTERRANEAN / VERTICALEarth Shaker's forced repositioning funnels enemies into a snare layer's prepared hazards, compounding positioning penalties with damage.
