Fey-Touched Great Wolf
Level 7Attacks
Abilities
The great wolf Strides twice and makes a melee Strike.
The fey-touched great wolf makes a jaws Strike. If successful, after taking the normal damage from the Strike, the target must succeed at a DC 22 will save or become Slowed 1 for 1 minute as it becomes overcome with fits of laughter.
Until the next time it acts, the fey-touched great wolf appears to be a topiary in the shape of a wolf. It has an automatic result of 37 on Deception checks and DCs to pass as a bush.
Requirements The great wolf has a creature Grabbed with its jaws
The great wolf shakes the grabbed creature with its teeth, dealing (2d8+4) piercing damage (DC 25 fortitude save).
Requirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained Effect If used after a Strike, the monster attempts to Grapple the creature using the body part it attacked with. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty. The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.
Description
Much larger and more foul-tempered than their common cousins, dire wolves haunt primeval lands that accommodate their massive size and proportionately large hunting grounds and appetites. Orcs are fond of using dire wolves as mounts, finding their vicious tempers perfect for hunting and warfare.
Wolves roam forests, hills, and other wild lands, where they hunt in packs to beleaguer and surround their prey before going in for the kill. Like most predatory animals, wolves prefer to attack the weakest or most vulnerable prey they can find.
