A typical aurumvorax is only 3 feet long but weighs more than 200 pounds, for its thick, sturdy bones are densely packed with muscle, making the creature very strong but a notoriously poor swimmer. Its fur is golden, sometimes with a silvery or russet tone depending on the metals it has ingested, and its claws are always the shiny black of seasoned iron. Aurumvorax adults claim hunting territories spanning a mile or more, driving out other predators and leading solitary lives except when they mate. They are irascible creatures, impossible to train as adults, but daring trainers can rear aurumvorax pups as deadly guard beasts, which they sell for hundreds of gold pieces to discriminating buyers. Aurumvorax pups are usually single births, and their mothers are fiercely protective, making their acquisition a dangerous proposition. Even when trained, the creatures are prone to dangerous bursts of rage. **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 26' hp: 170 hp_misc: null immunities: null items: null languages: null level: 9 melee: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 2d10+12 type: piercing name: jaws plus_damage: - formula: null type: Grab to_hit: 21 traits: null - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 2d8+12 type: slashing name: claw plus_damage: - formula: null type: Grab to_hit: 21 traits: - agile name: Aurumvorax perception: 18 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: None critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: When an aurumvorax scores a critical hit, the target takes 1d6 __persistent bleed damage__. effect: null effects: null failure: null frequency: null full_description: null generic_description: null name: Bleeding Critical range: null raw_description: '**Bleeding Critical** When an aurumvorax scores a critical hit, the target takes 1d6 __persistent bleed damage__.' requirements: null success: null traits: null trigger: null - action_cost: One Action critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: The aurumvorax makes a jaws Strike against a creature it has grabbed.
