Aurocan

24 hours, Disable device, standby For a clockwork to act, it must be wound with a unique key by another creature. This takes 1 minute. Once wound, it remains operational for the listed amount of time, usually 24 hours, after which time it becomes unaware of its surroundings and can't act until it's wound again. Some clockworks' abilities require them to spend some of their remaining operational time. They can't spend more than they have and shut down immediately once they have 0 time remaining. If it's unclear when a clockwork was last wound, most clockwork keepers wind all their clockworks at a set time, typically 8 a.m. A clockwork that lists standby in its wind-up entry can enter standby mode as a 3-action activity. Its operational time doesn't decrease in standby, but it can sense its surroundings (with a -2 penalty to Perception). It can't act, with one exception: when it perceives a creature, it can exit standby as a reaction (rolling initiative if appropriate). A creature can attempt to Disable a Device to wind a clockwork down (with a DC listed in the wind-up entry). For each success, the clockwork loses 1 hour of operational time. This can be done even if the clockwork is in standby mode.

Trigger The aurocan drops to 0 HP Effect The aurocan detonates. Every creature in a 30-foot emanation takes 3d12 bludgeoning,3d8 fire damage (DC 23 reflex save). On a critical failure, a creature is also knocked Prone.

The aurocan funnels some of the steam powering it into its body, heating up its metal frame. For the next minute, its melee Strikes deal an additional 1d6 fire damage.

Requirements The aurocan has used Blistering Touch within the past 2 rounds, and its head is attached

The aurocan expels a cloud of steam as its head detaches. The head occupies a 5-foot square and has a fly Speed of 15 feet. As part of this action, and every time the aurocan Sustains it on a subsequent round, the head can Fly up to its Speed, blasting steam directly downward as it moves. Each creature whose space it passes no more than 5 feet above during its flight takes 4d6 fire damage (DC 26 reflex save). On a failed save, a creature is also Dazzled by the steam for 1 round (or Blinded on a critical failure). While its head is detached, the aurocan can't make horn Strikes, but it can perform all other actions normally. The head has an AC of 27, Hardness 10, and the same saving throws, immunities, weaknesses, and resistances as the aurocan. If the head takes 20 damage in a single attack, it falls to the ground broken, and the aurocan is Off-Guard for 1 round. If the head reenters the aurocan's space, it reattaches.

Large or smaller, hoof, DC 26 reflex The monster Strides up to double its Speed and can move through the spaces of creatures of the listed size, Trampling each creature whose space it enters. The monster can attempt to Trample the same creature only once in a single use of Trample. The monster deals the damage of the listed Strike, but trampled creatures can attempt a basic Reflex save at the listed DC (no damage on a critical success, half damage on a success, double damage on a critical failure).
