Tsunamus

[Back to creatures]

Tsunamuses are giant oceanic kaijan that resemble giant shrimp with lobster pincers and the heads of crocodiles. When a Tsunamus approaches shore, the amount of water it dislodges is believed to cause tremendous tidal waves that threaten to destroy coastal infrastructure. Luckily, Tsunamuses tend to keep to their watery domains and scarcely venture near the coast.

A swallowed creature is Restrained, Blinded, and takes 28 (8d6) corrosive damage at the start of each of its turns. Grab (Claws). Reach 30 ft Natural Weapon. +8 vs REF. Hit: the creature is Grappled. A Tsunamus can only Grapple one creature at a time in this way Throw (Claws). Ranged (600 ft) Natural Weapon. +8 vs REF. Hit: 65 (10d12) blunt and the creature falls Prone. If the Tsunamus makes this attack by throwing a creature it had Grappled, this attack also targets that creature’s FORT. If the thrown creature lands on a solid surface, it deals the same damage if it hits the thrown creature as if it hits the primary target creature, and ½ damage if it misses the creature. Either way, the thrown creature falls Prone. Crush (Claws). The Tsunamus deals 65 (10d12) blunt damage to a creature that it has Grappled. That creature becomes Dazed until the end of its next turn.

A creature may make a DC 18 END check at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect early on a success. Miss: ½ damage and the creature or object moves halfway to the edge of the cone, falls Prone, and is Dazed for 1 minute, ending the effects early if successful on the same check.
