Low-Light Vision

The monster can see in dim light as though it were bright light, so it ignores the Concealed condition due to dim light.

Darkvision

A monster with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-level Darkness spell, block normal darkvision. A monster with Greater Darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.

Scent (Imprecise) 60 feet

Scent involves sensing creatures or objects by smell, and is usually a vague sense. The range is listed in the ability, and it functions only if the creature or object being detected emits an aroma (for instance, incorporeal creatures usually do not exude an aroma).

If a creature emits a heavy aroma or is upwind, the GM can double or even triple the range of scent abilities used to detect that creature, and the GM can reduce the range if a creature is downwind.

Constant Spells

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 Light (aura, evocation, incapacitation, light, primal, visual)

40-foot emanation Aura


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 Two Actions

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.

Rend One Action

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 Rend Reaction

Trigger Grogrisant uses Rend


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

Improved Grab Free Action

The monster can use Grab as a free action triggered by a hit with its initial attack. A monster with Improved Grab still needs to spend an action to extend the duration for creatures it already has Grabbed.

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.
