Paleohemoth
Creature 12 (rare) — construct, mindless
AnvilSnareLANDconstructmindless
Paleohemoths are typically made from the fossilized bones of dinosaurs and other ancient megafauna, though some crafters stretch the definition and instead use magically petrified bones of dragons or even giants. Not bound to any specific model, paleohemoths are crafted to be as terrifying as possible instead of models of anatomic accuracy. As such, most paleohemoths are nightmarish saurian amalgams whose massive arms end with the complete skulls of apex predators like tyrannosauruses, their bit

Abilities
Fossilization (arcane, incapacitation) — The first time each round a creature takes damage from the paleohemoth's jaws, the target must attempt a DC 32 Fortitude save. If it fails and has not already been slowed by this ability, it becomes Slowed 1 for 1 minute.
If the creature was already slowed by this ability, a failed save causes it to be Petrified permanently.
If the creature was already slowed by this ability, a failed save causes it to be Petrified permanently.
Reassemble — The paleohemoth reorganizes its bones, increasing its reach to 25 feet and reducing its Speed to 15 feet. It can revert to its original form by taking this action again.
WORKS WELL WITH
SniperLANDA ranged attacker avoids the Fortitude-sapping jaws entirely while this construct's reach discourages close engagement.
FlankerLANDA mobile attacker can exploit targets already Slowed by the construct's jaws before they can reposition.
WeaverLANDA caster can land further save-based effects more easily against a target already Slowed and struggling to act.
PUNISHES
✖ melee reliance✖ low Fortitude✖ adjacent positioning
Avoid stacking with another high-HP Anvil; the mindless construct won't coordinate positioning with a second front-liner.
