Slatejaw

CR 5

TactForge

A slate-plated digger of the hills that feels footsteps through stone: its slab-toothed bite grabs a Medium or smaller creature (escape DC 15), grinds it a little every turn it stays in the jaw, and it hauls the catch backward, away from its friends, clawing only what it holds. It can't be knocked down. Chase it, cut the catch loose — or lose a friend for a few rounds.
