XENOS: FERANTH

Ambush. When a feranth charges, instead of making a gore attack at the end of the charge, it can instead use its skull-splitting roar ability, although the DC to resist this ability is 4 lower when the ability is used in this fashion.

Charge. If the feranth moves at least 15 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a gore attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 38 (7d10) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 21 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 20 feet away and knocked prone.

Burrowing Charge. A feranth can use the charge and dash actions while burrowing.

Hardened Body. A feranth’s natural attacks count as adamantine for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and hardness.

ACTIONS          
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 30 (4d12 + 4) piercing damage.

Gore. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10ft., one target.
Hit: 42 (7d10 +4) piercing damage.

Skull-Splitting Roar (Recharges on a 5 or 6). A feranth can unleash a terrible roar, affecting all creatures in a 15-foot cone. Any creatures in the area of the cone must succeed at a DC 24 Constitution save or be dazed (disadvantage on attack rolls, ½ movement) and deafened for 1 minute.

REACTIONS  
Quick Strike. Whenever a feranth successfully dazes a creature using its skull-splitting roar ability, it can make an attack of opportunity against that creature.

DESCRIPTION                    
A droning hum announces the presence of this enormous horned beast. Powerful muscles ripple just beneath its mottled black hide.
