Special Abilities

Acid Immunity: Gorgalugs are immune to all forms of acid, both mundane and magical.

Acid Spit: Every 2 rounds a gorgalug can shoot a glob of acid from a gland under its mouth

towards a victim. This acid is the same as what the gorgalug uses to burrow through the ground. It does

1d4+1 damage for two rounds. The acid is viscous enough that it does not splash, so creatures nearby

are at no risk of splash damage. Reflex DC 12 no damage.

Dissolve Stone: A gorgalug can use its powerful acid, which it spits from a special gland under its mouth, to burrow through solid rock.

Armor Shell: A gorgalug can curl into a tight ball, shielding itself from attacks with its armored plating along its backside. These armored plates are stronger than most metals found in the world, and while in a ball, increase its AC by 12. The shell itself has the following stats: hardness 10, hit points 40, Break DC of 27. An adolescent gorgalug can stay in this state for up to 1 week without need of food or water.
