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.
Quick Capture
Focused Assault — The reborn devotee attacks a single target with four stalks, making one stalk Strike. On a success, the reborn devotee deals the damage from one stalk Strike plus an additional 1d8 damage for every stalk beyond the first. On a failure, the reborn devotee deals the damage from one stalk Strike, but it can't use Improved Grab. It deals no damage on a critical failure. This counts toward the reborn devotee's multiple attack penalty as a number of attacks equal to the number of stalks the devotee has.
Hungry Flurry — The reborn devotee makes four stalk Strikes at a –2 penalty, each against a different target. These attacks count toward the reborn devotee's multiple attack penalty, but the multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after it makes all its attacks.
Swallow Whole (attack) — Large, 2d8+5 bludgeoning plus 2d6 acid, Rupture 17
The monster attempts to swallow a creature of the listed size or smaller that it has grabbed or restrained in its jaws or mouth. If a swallowed creature is of the maximum size listed, the monster can't use Swallow Whole again. If the creature is smaller than the maximum, the monster can usually swallow more creatures; the GM determines the maximum. The monster attempts an Athletics check opposed by the grabbed creature's Reflex DC. If it succeeds, it swallows the creature. The monster's mouth or jaws no longer grab a creature it has swallowed, so the monster is free to use them to Strike or Grab once again. The monster can't attack creatures it has swallowed.

A swallowed creature is Grabbed, is Slowed 1, and has to hold its breath or start suffocating. The swallowed creature takes the listed amount of damage when first swallowed and at the end of each of its turns while it's swallowed. If the victim Escapes this ability's grabbed condition, it exits through the monster's mouth. This frees any other creature grabbed in the monster's mouth or jaws. A swallowed creature can attack the monster that has swallowed it, but only with unarmed attacks or with weapons of light Bulk or less. The swallowing creature is Off-Guard against the attack. If the monster takes piercing or slashing damage equaling or exceeding the listed Rupture value from a single attack or spell, the swallowed creature cuts itself free. A creature that gets free by either Escaping or cutting itself free can immediately breathe and exits the swallowing monster's space.

Effect: Engulf and Swallow Whole

If the monster dies, a swallowed creature can be freed by creatures adjacent to the corpse if they spend a combined total of 3 actions cutting the monster open with a weapon or unarmed attack that deals piercing or slashing damage.
Improved Grab

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLANDThe anvil holds one front while the devotee uses its 15-foot reach and Hungry Flurry to control a separate band of the battlefield.
CrasherLANDThe devotee's grabs and enormous reach lock enemies in place, letting the crasher deliver devastating damage without fear of retaliation.
MenderLANDThe mender keeps the devotee upright through its fire weakness, since its mindless nature limits self-preservation decisions.
