Cobble mites that remain a cohesive swarm for many years become dangerous living landslides. Cobble mites resemble squarish stones a few inches across with mouths like split geodes. Though indolent and harmless alone, they're dangerous in large groups.

Abilities
Tremorsense (Precise) 120 feet, (Imprecise) 240 feet — A sturzstromer's tremorsense is a precise sense out to 120 feet and an imprecise sense out to 240 feet. A sturzstromer can't sense anything beyond the range of its tremorsense.
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.

Clutching Stones — The sturzstromer's space is greater difficult terrain.
Grasping Bites (attack) — The sturzstromer attempts an Athletics check and compares the result to the Fortitude DC of each creature in its space. This counts as two attacks for the sturzstromer's multiple attack penalty.
