Pine Pangolin
Creature 7 — elemental, plant, wood
Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.
AnvilSnareLANDelementalplantwood
These creatures sleep while hanging upside down by their partially curled tails and rely on their thick wooden scales to protect them from danger. One such danger the scales negate is the falling damage from deliberately rolling up and dropping onto the head of an unsuspecting opponent, which is one of their favorite combat strategies. Beneath their scales, pine pangolin bodies secrete a thick, sticky tar that serves as a secondary line of defense.

Abilities
Roll Up (move) — The pine pangolin falls Prone, closes up its scales, and rolls into a ball. While Rolled Up, the pangolin gains resistance 10 to physical damage and total immunity to falling damage from heights of 50 feet or less. The only action the pine pangolin can take is to Stand, and the effects of Roll Up end once the pangolin Stands.
Secrete Tar (plant) — The pine pangolin secretes a brown, sticky tar within a 5-foot emanation, making those squares difficult terrain for 1 minute. Each creature that enters or starts its turn in a tarred square must succeed at a DC 25 Fortitude save or become Immobilized until it Escapes. On a critical failure, the creature falls Prone; prone creatures take a –2 circumstance penalty to their checks to Escape the tar. The pine pangolin is immune to the effects of its own tar.

PUNISHES
