A gogiteth is a slavering nightmare of teeth, eyes, and hairy spiderlike legs, and its appearance is invariably seared into the minds of any who witness it. Hives of these skittering monsters haunt the lowest reaches of the Darklands, competing with cave worms and other subterranean horrors for food and resources.

Abilities

All-Around Vision — This monster can see in all directions simultaneously and therefore can't be flanked.
Skittering Reposition (move) —
Carry Off Prey — The gogiteth can move at its full Speed while it has a creature Grabbed in its jaws, bringing the grabbed creature along.
Constrict — 3d6+12 bludgeoning, DC 32 Fortitude

The monster deals the listed amount of damage to any number of creatures Grabbed or Restrained by it. Each of those creatures can attempt a basic Fortitude save with the listed DC.
Skittering Assault — The gogiteth Strides three times. Once per Stride, it can attempt a leg Strike against a creature in its reach at any point during the Stride; it must make each attack against a different creature, but it doesn't apply its multiple attack penalty until after making all its Strikes. If any of the Strikes result in a critical failure, Skittering Assault ends.
Improved Grab

PUNISHES

✖ clumping✖ spread formations
Avoid pairing with another highly mobile multi-target striker; the party's positioning options collapse too quickly for either to fully capitalize.
