Grikkitog

Ready to play? Build unlimited Pathfinder 2e characters Create Now

Grikkitogs, also known as “hungry earth,” are strange parasites from the Plane of Earth that infest and possess earth, rock, and stone in order to feed their endless hunger. A young Grikkitog is a formless apparition until it corrupts an earth Elemental host, forming the grikkitog’s core. A Grikkitog can then infest the earth and stone nearby with its voracious essence, forming maws and eyes all around it. These creatures are particularly Dangerous to small creatures that lair within gaps and holes among rocks, as well as mountain climbers searching for the perfect handhold.

  • Earth Glide The grikkitog can Burrow through dirt and stone at its full burrow Speed, leaving no tunnels or signs of its passing.
  • Manifold Vision While its core is implanted, the grikkitog can see through the eyes it creates throughout the area of its infestation aura, gaining the benefits of all-around vision.
  • Infestation Aura 120 feet. While its core is implanted, a grikkitog infests all earth and stone within 120 feet, as long as there is a contiguous physical connection between the earth, including stone objects touching on the ground. This effect spreads even if the grikkitog does not have line of effect, though it can affect earth or stone on the surface and exposed to the air only if at least part of its core is exposed as well. Within the aura, it can grow maws and eyes everywhere. It can make jaws attacks against any creature, originating from any earth or stone in the aura adjacent to that creature. Determine cover from the origin point of the attack, not from the grikkitog’s core. A monster’s aura automatically affects everything within a specified emanation around that monster. The monster doesn’t need to spend actions on the aura; rather, the aura’s effects are applied at specific times, such as when a creature ends its turn in the aura or when creatures enter the aura. If an aura does nothing but deal damage, its entry lists only the radius, damage, and saving throw. Such auras deal this damage to a creature when the creature enters the aura and when a creature starts its turn in the aura. A creature can take damage from the aura only once per round. The GM might determine that a monster’s aura doesn’t affect its own allies. For example, a creature might be immune to a monster’ frightful presence if they have been around each other for a long time.
  • Speed20 feet, burrow 20 feet
  • Melee jaws 29 (magical) Damage3d12+14 piercing plus barbed maw
  • Implant Core (manipulate) The grikkitog implants its core into an adjacent section of earth or stone, melding seamlessly and changing its visual appearance to match the surrounding rock. It’s immobilized but automatically succeeds at its Deception check to Impersonate the stone around it; creatures actively searching for it can still attempt Perception checks against its Deception DC as normal. A grikkitog can release its implantation as a free action, which has the manipulate trait. A grikkitog’s infestation aura and manifold vision are only active while implanted.
  • Barbed Maw Upon Striking a creature with its jaws, the grikkitog can extend its barbed teeth, immobilizing the target unless it succeeds at a DC 34 Reflex save. While immobilized, the victim takes 3d8 (3d8) persistent bleed damage and the grikkitog feeds upon its flesh. The creature is immobilized until the grikkitog ends the effect as a free action or the target succeeds at a DC 38 check to Escape. The grikkitog can immobilize any number of creatures with these maws.
