Passives
Burrower
Burrows 10 ft per round. Advantage on Cunning checks relying on smell.
Ferocious When Cornered
If it cannot reach a tunnel, it does not flee at 0 Vigor; it fights on with advantage on its attacks.
Maneuvers
Burrow Ambush
Tunnels underground and erupts beneath a creature within 20 ft, attacking with advantage. The target makes a Body save (DC 11) or is knocked prone.
Tactics
GM tactics
Aggressively defends its burrow. Emerges from underground to attack. When cornered, fights with surprising ferocity. Retreats into tunnels if outmatched.

Rules
- One Vigor pool of 2 x Tier, no Vitality. It breaks and flees with 1 left, and dies at 0. The pool does not regenerate.
- A hit deals a flat 1, no roll. A crit (natural 20 only) rolls d4 and never lands below 1.
- Crits on a natural 20 only.
- Minor: no stat modifiers or dice in play; its scores describe the creature, they do not roll.
- With 1 Vigor left it breaks and flees, out of the fight but alive; Fanatics fight on to 0 instead.
- At 0 Vigor it is dead: 2 total damage, and a single blow of 2 or more kills it on the spot.
- Vigor damage is simply damage against a Minor: its whole pool is Vigor.
- Group morale: when its group loses half its number, fled or dead, the rest check morale.
- NPCs never take wounds.
