Abilities

Light Blindness — When first exposed to bright light, the monster is Blinded until the end of its next turn. After this exposure, light doesn't blind the monster again until after it spends 1 hour in darkness. However, as long as the monster is in an area of bright light, it's Dazzled.
+2 Status to All Saves vs. Disease and Poison
Sneak Attack — Hobji's Strikes deal an additional 1d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
Strangling Grasp
Surprise Attack — In the first round of combat, creatures that haven't acted yet are Off-Guard to Hobji.

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLAND / VERTICALA frontline that holds the party's attention lets this ambusher use its climb speed to reach an exposed flank before Sneak Attack becomes available.
SnareLAND / VERTICALA controller that inflicts Off-Guard through terrain or saves compounds this ambusher's own precision damage once the surprise round advantage fades.
CrasherLAND / VERTICALA heavy striker capitalizes on a target this ambusher has already grappled and softened, converting the opening into a finishing blow.
