Multiattack. The barroth makes two attacks: one headbutt and one stomp.
Stomp. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage.
HeadButt. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage.
Wallow. The barroth wallows in mud, covering itself in a thick layer, which grants the barroth +2 AC for 1 minute or until it takes 15 damage from a single attack.
Shake. While the barroth is covered in mud it may use its action shake chunks of mud free from its body landing in a 10-foot radius around him. Each creature in that area must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or become restrained by the mud. As an action, the restrained target can make a DC 13 Strength check, bursting from the mud on a success. The mud can also be attacked and destroyed (AC 10; hp 5)
Description
Barroth is a large, bipedal monster characteristic of the Brute Wyvern class. It is noted for the large crown structure atop its skull, which houses its nostrils. Its body is covered in rigid plates of armored hide that help protect it from the harsh desert environment. Barroth possesses a pair of small red eyes and a mouthful of long, peg-shaped teeth.
Barroth is capable of using its heavy head as a plow to smash through the environment, as well as cause damage to any living thing caught in its way. Because its nostrils are located on top of its head, Barroth can completely submerge itself in the cool mud during the scorching desert days.
It will occasionally roll in dirt and mud, possibly to cool off from the hot desert sun. Although docile by default, Barroth becomes extremely territorial when disturbed. It will release an initial warning roar. If that fails, it will continuously attack until the threat is exterminated. An insectivore, it is known to attack Altaroth nests in order to feast on the occupants inside.
Barroth is uniquely adapted to a desert lifestyle, and as such can almost exclusively be found in such regions, although it has been known to wander into the woods occasionally.
