Long Reach. A chalicotherium has an arm reach that can extend up to 10 ft without lunging and while it cannot intelligently or dexterously manipulate objects with it's "hands" in the same way a humanoid can ( to string a bow or wield a spear, for example), it can certainly use it's arms to lift and manipulate large and heavy objects.
Raking Claws. Born with certain instinctual knowledge to break apart large quantities of vegetation, including massive tree branches. The chalicotherium gains advantage when it comes to attacking wooden objects or plants.
Keen Smell. The chalicotherium has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
Raking Grip. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage and the target is now grappled by the Chalicotherium. If the target struck by the attack happens to be under it's size category the Chalicotherium can choose to pull the target closer to it or to it's right or left side.
Scything Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage. If the target is a Plant creature then the damage received is increased by (1d4).
Description
In the real world, Chalicotherium, greek for "pebble beast.", is a genus of large extinct animal found in Europe, Africa, and Asia during the Late Oligocene to Lower Pliocene periods, living from 28.4—3.6 million years ago, wholly existing on earth for approximately 24.8 million years.
It stood nine feet high at the shoulder. The chalicotherium's arms were long and heavily clawed, allowing them to walk on their knuckles only, much like an ape. The arms were used to reach for the branches of large trees and bring them close to its long head to strip them clean of leaves. They were herbivores, using their claws rake up massive quantities of plant life to eat or defend themselves if necessary.
