Actions/Abilities/Traits:   (OSR)

 

Special

|Rake|Roar

Against a grappled opponent, you may make two additional Bite attacks using a single action. A monster with the rake ability must begin its turn already grappling to use its rake-it can't begin a grapple and rake in the same turn.

 

Special

|Rake|Roar

An androsphinx can roar up to three times per day. Each progressive roar has a different effect, depending upon whether it is the first, second, or third of the androsphinx's roars for that day. All of these roars are sonic effects that fill a 60-foot-radius burst, centered on the androsphinx. Sphinxes are immune to all of the effects of an androsphinx's roars. First Roar: Affected creatures become frightened for 2d6 rounds (Death save negates). This is a mind-affecting fear effect in addition to being a sonic effect. Second Roar: Affected creatures are paralyzed with fear and deafened for 1d4 rounds (Death save negates). This is a mindaffecting fear effect in addition to being a sonic effect. Third Roar: Affected creatures take a 2d4 penalty to Strength for 2d4 rounds and take 2d8 points of sonic damage.

 

Special

|Rake|Roar

Creatures smaller than the androsphinx are knocked prone. A Death save negates the Strength penalty and being knocked prone.
