Taiga Yai

Creature 15 — fiend, giant, humanoid, oni, unholy

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Wearing the visage of taiga giants, taiga yais generally travel in a solitary fashion, always yearning for new experiences and destinations. They are zealous in their love of nature in its purest form and gleefully destroy any established civilizations that they encounter before continuing onwards.

Return to Nature (earth, manipulate) — The taiga yai commands underground plant roots to drag a creature within 60 feet into the earth. The target must succeed at a DC 35 Fortitude save or be Immobilized for 1d4 rounds. After this time, the creature is buried; it is Grabbed, begins to suffocate, and takes 4d6 bludgeoning damage each round they remain buried. To escape either while immobilized or grabbed, the creature must succeed at a check or an adjacent ally must succeed at a DC 33 Athletics check to pull them out.
