Defensive roll. When it senses an inescapable, potentially life threatening danger, the Cirolan curls itself up into a ball to protect its more vulnerable underside. Doing so locks its back plates together increasing its AC by 12. It will remain like this until it believes the danger has passed.
Multi Attack. The Cirulan can make up to 6 stomp attacks as an action but only once per leg. Additionally, attacks can only be made against enemies adjacent to the leg making the attack.
Stomp. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 10 ft., 1 target. Hit: 18 (2d8 + 9) [damage type] damage. The Cirulan uses its feet to try and push away creatures that come too close
Thrash. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 15 ft., all creatures in range within the Cirolan. Hit: 30 (6d6 + 9) bludgeoning damage, and Large or smaller targets must make a DC 20 Strength or Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target is knocked back 30 feet and if they fail by 10 or more they are knocked prone
Stempede. The Cirolan charges forward in a panic using the a dash action to flee combat. Any creature of a size Large or smaller must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw to dive out of the path of the creature or take 63 (8d12 +9) bludgeoning damage as they are crushed under foot. Huge creatures halve this damage as they are knocked aside instead of crushed. This has no effect on Gargantuan creatures
Description
This gigantic herbivorous isopod is ordinarily seen eating trees on the great plains, travelling in groups of 15 or more. When startled, they stampede as a herd, trampling everything in their path. There are many more Cirolans in the world than people realise as most live underground, sustaining themselves by eating roots of the world tree.
Above ground, they are hunted for their meat by both Giants and Dragons but Giants have also been known to use Cirolan's as pack animals. Under the surface, they are most commonly preyed upon by Purple Worms of the Underdark.
To defend itself, the Cirulan will ordinarily begin by trying to push away creatures that come too close. If the approaching creatures persist the Cirulan begins to thrash before fleeing if it senses serious danger.
