Stench (aura, disease, olfactory)

30 feet. A creature entering the aura or starting its turn in the aura must succeed at a DC 33 fortitude save or become Sickened 1 (plus Slowed 1 for as long as it's sickened on a critical failure).

While within the aura, affected creatures take a -2 circumstance penalty to saves against disease and to recover from the sickened condition. A creature that succeeds at its save is temporarily immune for 1 minute.

Ferocity

Trigger The monster is reduced to 0 HP.

---

Effect The monster avoids being knocked out and remains at 1 HP, but its Wounded value increases by 1. When it is Wounded 3, it can no longer use this ability

Quicken the Rot (primal)

Trigger A Sickened creature within 10 feet of the Putrid takes poison damage

---

Effect The Putrid darts her head out to lick the poisoned creature, exposing the creature to tanglerot. The Putrid gains 30 Temporary Hit Points if the target fails their saving throw against tanglerot.

Putrid Breath (poison, primal)

The Putrid exhales a 60-foot cone of rotten spores and fumes, dealing 16d6 poison damage (DC 36 fortitude save). The area of this cone is reduced to 30 feet underwater. Targets that fail their saving throw also become Sickened 1 (Sickened 2 on a critical failure) and are exposed to tanglerot. The Putrid can't use Putrid Breath again for 1d4 rounds.

Trample

Huge or smaller, hoof, DC 36 reflex

---

The monster Strides up to double its Speed and can move through the spaces of creatures of the listed size, Trampling each creature whose space it enters. The monster can attempt to Trample the same creature only once in a single use of Trample. The monster deals the damage of the listed Strike, but trampled creatures can attempt a basic Reflex save at the listed DC (no damage on a critical success, half damage on a success, double damage on a critical failure).

---

The catoblepas is an aggressive beast at the best of times. Though it prefers swamps, the catoblepas has been know to forage in plains and forests for short periods, leaving behind hunting grounds tainted by its foul breath and noxious waste that other predators and prey alike avoid for days or even weeks thereafter. The catoblepas bullies those creatures it believes are a match for it, and eats everything weaker.

A catoblepas is 15 feet long and weighs 2,200 pounds.
