They make their homes in necropolises, burial grounds, and the sites of immense and gory battles. Some point out that cairn linnorms feast on shambling undead and thus provide a service to the living, but these beasts are not choosy and will happily consume any creature, whether or not it draws breath. Some tales state that cairn linnorms will not—or cannot—enter a tomb without the permission of a descendant of the deceased (or the permission of the deceased itself, in the instance that it has risen from the dead). Likewise, once a cairn linnorm has entered a tomb, it won''t leave until it has secured permission to do so. Whether such legends are true or not is anyone''s guess; nevertheless, reports of a cairn linnorm in the vicinity are harrowing enough to dissuade even the most foolhardy grave robber from peeking into too many crypts or mausoleums. **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 40' hp: 360 hp_misc: regeneration 15 (deactivated by cold iron immunities: - acid - curse - paralyzed - sleep items: null knowledge_checks: dc: 40 skills: - Arcana languages: - Aklo - Draconic - Sylvan level: 18 melee: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 3d12+17 type: piercing name: jaws plus_damage: - formula: null type: cairn linnorm venom to_hit: 35 traits: - magical - reach 25 feet - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 3d8+17 type: slashing name: claw plus_damage: null to_hit: 35 traits: - agile - magical - reach 25 feet - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 3d10+17 type: bludgeoning name: tail plus_damage: - formula: null type: Improved Grab to_hit: 35 traits: - agile - magical - reach 25 feet name: Cairn Linnorm perception: 30 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: Two Actions critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: The cairn linnorm expels a 60-foot cone of negative energy-infused acid, dealing 19d6 acid damage to creatures in the area (DC 40 basic Reflex save).
