Abilities

Constant Spellsinteraction

A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.

Aura of Blinding Lightdefensive(aura, incapacitation, light, primal, visual)

40 feet. Any creature that begins its turn in the aura must attempt a DC 34 fortitude save or be Blinded for 1 minute and become temporarily immune for 1 day. If the creature critically fails this save, it's permanently blinded.

Dual Pounce◆◆offensive

Grogrisant Strides and makes two claw Strikes against the same creature at the end of that movement. Each attack counts against Grogrisant's multiple attack penalty, but the penalty doesn't increase until after Grogrisant makes both attacks. If both attacks hit, combine their damage for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses.

Rendoffensive

claw. If Grogrisant Rends after a successful Dual Pounce, combine the Rend's damage with that from the Dual Pounce for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses. A Rend entry lists a Strike the monster has. Requirements The monster hit the same enemy with two consecutive Strikes of the listed type in the same round. Effect The monster automatically deals that Strike's damage again to the enemy.

Vicious Rendoffensive

Trigger Grogrisant uses Rend Effect The target's armor takes damage equal to the damage from Rend. The target can attempt a DC 37 reflex save, negating the armor damage on a successful save.

Improved Graboffensive

Trigger The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Improved 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 as a free action. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty. The monster can instead use Improved Grab as an action and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Improved Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.

Description

Grogrisant is an enormous lion with multiple eyes and a golden, glowing mane. As it was originally slain by Taldor's founding emperor, the legendary hero Taldaris, Grogrisant's appearance marks both danger for the people of Taldor and the potential for Taldans to prove their might against a creature from their fabled past. How it continues to appear time and time again remains a mystery, one that Taldan scholars continuously attempt to decipher.
