Slurk

Creature 2 — animal

SnareCrasherLANDVERTICALanimal

The slurk is a sticky, tusked frog-beast found in underground lairs and caves. It has two massive tusks that it uses to gore prey and tangle with rival slurks. With the slurk's natural ability to climb walls and cling effortlessly to ceilings, it can be easy for unwary cave explorers to end up on the wrong end of these formidable ivory tusks. Slurks exude two very different types of foul-smelling secretions from their pale white skin. Large pustules on the slurk's back drip a sticky resin-like

Belly Grease — The slurk extrudes a slippery grease from its ventral glands to coat the floor under it and in a 5-foot emanation, turning the affected area into uneven ground for 10 minutes, after which it dries to a putrid crust. The DC to Balance across the slime is 18.
Entangling Slime — A creature struck by a slurk's slime squirt becomes Clumsy 1 and takes a –5-foot penalty to Speed for 1 hour or until the slime is removed.

The slime can be removed with a total of three Interact actions by the entangled creature or creatures adjacent to the creature. These actions don't need to be consecutive or made by the same creature.
