Description
Rancors are large semi-sentient reptilian carnivores native to Egypt, near the Nile River. Rancors were often seen as mindless, violent creatures due to their extensive use as fighters for the Pharaohs, and captured Rancors made to fight in the Roman Colosseum.
In combat, the rancor shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are Incapacitated, the defender can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
