Dune Ravager - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Dune Ravager

Old desert peoples describe the Dune Ravager as a hunger that learned geometry. It does not simply burrow. It measures. Every tunnel, collapse, and ricocheting spine is part of a three-dimensional hunting pattern designed to make prey flee exactly where the creature wants them. Some scholars believe the ravager is a scout for an extinct subterranean intelligence, while others insist that the patterns are the creature's equivalent of song.

Ambush from Below. If the ravager is hidden from a creature when combat begins, its attacks against that creature during the first turn of combat are automatic critical hits. This benefit ends for a creature after the ravager damages it or after the first turn ends.
Earthstrider. The ravager can move through any solid surface, including earth, stone, wood, metal, and worked structures. It does not disturb the surface unless it chooses to. It cannot burrow through a barrier protected by an effect that specifically prevents planar, teleportation, or extradimensional movement unless the barrier also blocks movement through matter.
Corrosive Armor Rot. Whenever the ravager hits a creature with an attack, that creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become Blinded until the end of its next turn. A creature that fails this save while wearing nonmagical armor suffers a cumulative -1 penalty to its Armor Class until the end of the encounter. A creature wearing magical armor loses 1 point from its magical AC bonus on a failed save. If this reduces the magical bonus to 0, the armor becomes nonmagical until the encounter ends. These penalties apply to each separate failed save, but cannot reduce a creature's armor bonus below 0.
Eightfold Razor Limbs. The ravager's dorsal appendages grant it a climbing speed of 40 feet and allow it to move across ceilings and vertical surfaces without making an ability check. While on solid ground, it can make one Claw attack against every creature in a 5-foot-wide horizontal line directly in front of it, provided those creatures are within range.
Terrain Mimicry. The ravager has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made while underground, in rubble, or amid desert terrain. It can remain perfectly still while burrowed, becoming undetectable to ordinary senses.
Unstoppable Through Stone. The ravager has advantage on saving throws against being knocked Prone, moved, or restrained while touching a solid surface. It also ignores difficult terrain created by sand, rubble, earth, or stone.
Horizontal Killing Line. The ravager's melee attacks can target creatures and objects within 20 feet in a straight line. Each creature in that line is affected separately, making its close-range attacks dangerous against clustered enemies.
Multiattack. The Dune Ravager makes one Bite attack and two Claw attacks.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 18 () piercing damage plus 10 () acid damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it is grappled, escape . Until the grapple ends, the target is Restrained, and the ravager cannot Bite another target.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 16 () slashing damage plus 9 () acid damage. The ravager can make this attack against any creature or object in a straight line from it, ignoring nonmagical difficult terrain and loose earth along that line.
Spine Volley. The Dune Ravager launches a volley of carapace spines at up to three creatures it can see within 300 feet. Each target must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 () piercing damage plus 13 () acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that fails the save is marked by a spine until the end of its next turn. The ravager has advantage on attack rolls against a marked creature.
Burrowing Lunge. The ravager lunges up to 20 feet in a straight line without provoking opportunity attacks. Each creature in a 20-foot-wide line along that movement must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 27 () piercing damage and is knocked Prone. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and is not knocked Prone. The ravager can then make one Bite or Claw attack against a creature within 20 feet of its final position.
Collapse the Ground. The ravager chooses a point on the ground it can sense within 300 feet. The ground collapses in a 20-foot-radius, 20-foot-deep cylinder centered on that point. Creatures in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 28 () bludgeoning damage and falling into the collapse on a failed save, or half as much damage without falling on a successful one. The area becomes difficult terrain and partially obscured by dust until the end of the ravager's next turn.
Set Burrowing Trap. The ravager chooses a point on a solid surface within 300 feet and creates a nearly invisible burrowing trap in a 10-foot-radius area. The trap lasts for 24 hours, until triggered, or until the ravager creates another trap. When a creature enters the area, it must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 31 () piercing and acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The area then collapses as though affected by Collapse the Ground. A creature that succeeds on a Wisdom (Perception) check notices the trap before triggering it.
Slip Beneath. When the ravager is hit by an attack while it is touching a solid surface, it halves the attack's damage and immediately burrows up to 20 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.
Skittering Advance. The ravager moves up to half its burrow speed or makes one Claw attack.
Corrosive Spittle. The ravager targets a creature it can sense within 300 feet. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become Blinded until the end of its next turn.
Detonate Trap (Costs 2 Actions). The ravager detonates one active Burrowing Trap within 300 feet. Creatures in the trap's area resolve the trap's damage and collapse effect.
Underground Surge (Costs 2 Actions). The ravager makes one Burrowing Lunge, but it can move through creatures during the movement. Each creature it passes through is affected by the attack once.
Disappear Beneath (Costs 3 Actions). The ravager vanishes beneath a solid surface without moving into an open space. Until the end of its next turn, it cannot be detected except by a creature with tremorsense, blindsight, or a comparable effect.
