Though they resemble pterosaurs and hail from a similar era, kongamatos are actually a primeval branch of dragonkind. They aren't particularly intelligent and lack the powerful magical abilities that many of their dragon kindred command, but a kongamato has a supernaturally strong beak that can punch through incredibly dense substances. While this beak might seem like a valuable trophy for hunters, its magic dies with the kongamato, and all attempts to integrate them into weapons have failed. T

Attack of Opportunity (Tail Only) — Tail only
Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using.
Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.

Boat Breaker — A kongamato's beak is supernaturally hard. Their beak Strikes ignore half the Hardness of any object they hit.
Flying Strafe — The kongamato Flies up to their fly Speed and makes two wing Strikes at any point during that movement. Each Strike must target a different creature.
Wailing Dive — The kongamato Flies while emitting a terrifying screech. Each creature the kongamato flies over must succeed at a DC 30 Will save or become Frightened 1 (Frightened 2 on a critical failure).
After attempting their saves, the creatures are temporarily immune for 1 hour. At the end of their movement, the kongamato can make a beak Strike.
