PropThe castoroides stabilizes itself with its tail, gaining a +1 circumstance bonus to its Fortitude and Reflex DCs against Shove and Trip attempts until it next takes an action with the move trait.
GrabRequirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained
Effect If used after a Strike, the monster attempts to [/act grapple] the creature using the body part it attacked with. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty.
The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.
Beavers are stocky, herbivorous rodents that live in freshwater ecosystems throughout Avistan. They live in lodges, which they construct from logs, grass, rocks, and mud.
Castoroides are bear-sized beavers that build their lodges on land near a water source rather than in the water.
