Monster: Gohlbrorn

Monster: Gohlbrorn

This is my 1,000th post. Also, this is the last monster from the Illithiad that I had to convert, but there are many other illithid-related monsters left! The gohlbrorn is a smaller relative of the bulette. It is relatively smart, can communicate subsonically on their own language, and can spit rocks. A cool monster, I like it.

Spit Rocks (13): A gohlbrorn swallows large rocks as it burrows through the earth, and stores them in its gullet. A gohlbrorn can spew these rocks with tremendous force at opponents up to 20 yards away. These rocks deal 2d crushing damage and have 1/2D of 10 yards. A gohlbrorn’s gullet may hold up to 8 stones, which are launched one at a time. A gohlbrorn may burrow in a rocky area for 5 seconds to replenish all eights stones, but does not stop to do this during combat.
