Special
|Sweat|Trample
You can attempt to overrun any creature that is smaller than yourself. Targets of a trample take bludgeoning damage equal to two times a typical melee attack from this creature. Victims may attempt to avoid the trampling creature and receive a Breath save to take half damage. You can only deal trampling damage to each target once per round, no matter how many times its movement takes it over a target creature.
