These small creatures are ubiquitous vermin found across much of Akiton. This unusual arthropod resembles an amalgam of a centipede and a crab. Hard-shelled and perfectly suited to life on Akiton, khefaks are so incredibly useful that a visitor to the planet might assume they were custom engineered for their environs. Such visitors would, in fact, be correct. While khefaks can be found naturally on Akiton, a new species has recently gained a foothold on the planet: alchemically engineered khefa

Abilities
Tremorsense (Imprecise) 60 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.
Consume Objects — A khefak can gain nourishment by eating objects with hardness 10 or lower. When attacking an object with its mandibles, it ignores the first 10 points of that object's Hardness.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA durable blocker holds the front so this small skirmisher can slip past to strike from an unguarded angle.
SnareLAND / SUBTERRANEANA controller that pins a target in difficult terrain lets this fast climber capitalize on the Off-Guard opening.
WeaverLANDA caster's debuffs create windows this mobile striker exploits before the target can reposition.
PUNISHES
✖ ranged reliance✖ static positioning✖ ignoring vertical terrain
Avoid pairing with another small flanking skirmisher; both compete for the same Off-Guard openings without adding any durability to the fight.
