Other information

Greater krynches have a rolling boulder maneuver. Non-visible targets of the roll will receive a significant bonus to avoiding the maneuver. Critical failures will result in partial immobility and stance reduction, and will last for the duration of the roundtime. The maneuver is performed on occasion when the krynch moves from room to room.
A greater krynch curls its form into a massive boulder, and the boulder begins to move, quickly gaining momentum!
With a quick leap to the side, you narrowly avoid being crushed as the boulder carries past! The boulder comes to a sudden stop and rises into the form of a greater krynch!

Its skin is actually a gem--a luminescent silvery boulder opal. Unlike most creatures, it requires a blunt weapon to skin.
