Tixitogs are a species of bizarre aberrations that make their homes in the dens of giant spiders. Immune to poison and able to traverse sticky webs thanks to the thick slime that covers their bodies, tixitogs steal food cocooned in spider lairs and prey on spiders themselves, but they are careful never to kill so many that their food supply runs out. Their favorite meal, however, is the odd adventurer or spelunker who stumbles into their nest. These strange creatures have oblong bodies coated i

Swallow Whole (attack) — Small, 1d12 + 3 bludgeoning, Rupture 10
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.

Tongue Pull — When a tixitog hits a Small or smaller creature with its tongue Strike, the target is pulled into the tixitog's mouth. The tixitog can then attempt to Swallow it Whole.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLAND / VERTICALA front-liner keeps this predator's attention divided so it cannot freely reach past the line with its long tongue.
ShadeLAND / VERTICALA stealthy striker can pick off targets the tongue has already pulled out of formation and left Off-Guard.
SniperLAND / VERTICALA ranged attacker punishes this predator for committing its reach and swallow actions to a single grabbed target.
PUNISHES
✖ isolated PCs✖ backline squishies✖ small-sized targets
Avoid pairing with another puller or reach-controller; only one tongue-pull matters if a target is already pinned in melee.
