{"name":"Bulette","challenge_rating":"5","xp":"1800","types":"Monstrosity","pb":"+3","size":"Large","sizer":"NONE","languages":"","alignment":"Unaligned","description":"A bulette is a massive predator that terrorizes any lands it inhabits. Also called a \u201cland shark,\u201d it lives only to feed. Irascible and rapacious, bulettes fear no other creature, and they attack with no regard for superior numbers or strength.\r\n\r\n[b]Underground Hunters[\/b]. Bulettes use their powerful claws to tunnel through the earth when they hunt. Heedless of obstruction, they uproot trees, cause landslides in loose slopes, and leave sinkholes behind them. When vibrations in the soil and rock alert a bulette to movement, it shoots to the surface, its jaws spread wide as it attacks.\r\n\r\n[b]Wandering Monster[\/b]. A bulette ranges across temperate lands, feeding on any animals and humanoids it comes across. These creatures dislike dwarf and elf flesh, although they often kill them before realizing what they are. A bulette loves halfling meat the most, and it is never happier than when chasing plump halflings across an open field.\r\n[in]A bulette has no lair, but roams a hunting territory up to thirty miles wide. Its sole criterion for territory is availability of food, and when it has eaten everything in an area, a bulette moves on. These creatures often home in on humanoid settlements, terrorizing them until their panicked residents have fled, or until the bulette is slain.[\/in]\r\n[in]All creatures shun bulettes, which treat anything that moves as food \u2014 even other predators and bulettes. Bulettes come together only to mate, resulting in a bloody act of claws and teeth that usually ends with the male\u2019s death and consumption.[\/in]\r\n\r\n[b]Arcane Creation[\/b]. Some sages believe the bulette is the result of a mad wizard\u2019s experiments at crossbreeding snapping turtles and armadillos, with infusions of demon ichor. Bulettes have been thought to be extinct at different times, but after years without a sighting, the creatures inevitably reappear. Because their young are almost never seen, some sages suspect that bulettes maintain secret nesting grounds from which adults strike out into the world.","suggested_environments":"Grassland, Hill, Mountain","armor_class":"17","hit_points":"94[roll:9d10+45]","strength":"19","dexterity":"11","constitution":"21","intelligence":"2","wisdom":"10","charisma":"5","base_movement_units":"","base_movement_in_ft":"40","fly_movement_in_ft":"","burrow_movement_in_ft":"40","swim_movement_in_ft":"","climb_movement_in_ft":"","senses":"[tooltip:If you have Darkvision, you can see in Dim Light within a specified range as if it were Bright Light and in Darkness within that range as if it were Dim Light.
