Treasure Hulk | Free Monster for D&D and PF2e

Clockwork Guardian. The treasure hulk doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep. It is also immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.

Multiattack. The treasure hulk makes two attacks: one with its pincer and one slam attack.

Pincer. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage. The target must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or be restrained.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage.

Burrowed Leap. If the treasure hulk burrows at least 15 feet as part of its movement, it can burst from the ground in an explosive leap that launches debris at all creatures within a 10-foot radius sphere of its exit point. Each target must succeed on a DC 14 Strength or Dexterity saving throw (target’s choice) or be knocked prone while taking 13 (3d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage plus 13 (3d6+ 3) slashing damage. On a successful save, the creature takes only half damage and is not knocked prone.

Burrowed Leap [two-actions] The treasure hulk Burrows, then attempts DC 20 Athletics check to jump vertically. If it didn’t Burrow at least 15 feet or didn’t end this movement on the surface, it automatically fails.

Critical Success The hulk Leaps up to 15 feet vertically and horizontally and launches debris that deals 3d6 bludgeoning damage plus 3d6 piercing damage within a burst with radius equal to the distance it Leaped centered on any of the spaces it Leaped from (DC 22 basic Reflex save). Creatures that fail the save are knocked prone.

Success As critical success, but the maximum distance it can Leap is 10 feet and creatures can’t get worse than a failure on the saving throw.

Failure The hulk Leaps normally and throws no debris.
