Abilities
Rubble Stride — A gnagrif ignores difficult terrain caused by rocks or rubble, including squares affected by their Stomp Around.
Soften Stone —
Stomp Around (move) — The gnagrif huffs and stamps its feet, churning the ground around it. The square it is in and all unoccupied adjacent squares become difficult terrain.
Lurk —
Eat Rocks — The gnagrif gnashes and tears at an object or structure, dealing 2d4+2 piercing damage and ignoring Hardness 2 or lower.
Wrecker — Whenever two or more gnagrifs use Eat Rocks on the same object or structure, the value of Hardness they can ignore increases by 1 for every gnagrif, to a maximum of Hardness 10.
