The Grun is the brutal male of the whitelady species. It
is a hulking, inarticulate monster with only two roles:
fertilising eggs and defending the lair. Unlike the
whiteladies, it cannot enter ice and so makes its nest
near the entry to the caverns, where it can watch for
intruders.
The Grun resembles an ogre with heavy white fur
covering its body, a huge lower jaw and a thick bone
‘horn’ emerging from the back of its head, as if to
balance out the jaw. It has no visible eyes. On closer
examination, the ‘fur’ proves to be a mass of wormlike
growths with tiny eyeballs on the ends. This grants the
Grun 360 degree vision.
A Grun’s natural attacks and any weapons it wields
count as evil-aligned weapons for the purposes of
overcoming damage reduction.
Breath Weapon (Su): Once every 1d4 rounds, a Grun
may breathe out a blast of freezing air that deals 6d6
cold damage to all creatures within a 30-foot cone. A
Reflex saving throw (DC 22) is allowed for half damage.
The save DC is Constitution-based.
Icy Detonation (Su): When killed, the Grun explodes
in a shower of icy shards that deals 60 points of cold
damage to anything within 30 feet, with a Reflex
save (DC 22) allowed for half damage. The Grun can
activate this power deliberately to destroy itself as
a free action, and does so if it believes that it cannot
protect the whiteladies in any other way. A Grun that
is about to detonate itself moves into a position where
it can hit as many targets as possible. The save DC is
Constitution-based.
Mist Shroud (Su): The Grun continually emanates a
misty veil that functions as the obscuring mist spell,
shrouding the creature in a 20-foot-radius screen of fog.
It can suppress this power or reactivate it at will.
Stunning Stomp (Ex): As a move action, a Grun
can stamp its foot with thunderous force, sending
shockwaves through the ground. All characters within
a 30-foot radius must make Reflex save (DC 25) or be
knocked prone. Those who fail their saving throws
must make Fortitude save (DC 25) or be stunned for
one round. Once it has made a stunning stomp attack,
a Grun cannot use it again for 1d4+1 rounds. The save
DC is Strength-based.
Trample (Ex): The Grun can grind Medium or smaller
opponents underfoot. Its trample attack deals 1d6+10
points of bludgeoning damage, with a Reflex saving
throw allowed to avoid the attack (DC 25). The save
DC is Strength-based.
