Scalathrax
A quill-backed predator sweats its own oil to slip free of any hold, losing its slickness only after fire burns the grease away.
A slick, quill-backed predator that sweats its own grease, the scalathrax slips free of nearly any hold and answers a closing foe with venomous jaws or a volley of launched quills.
In play
Oily Scales A scalathrax constantly sweats a glistening oil that makes it exceptionally slick. It treats the results of Acrobatics checks to Squeeze or of any skill check to Escape as one degree of success greater than the rolled result. A scalathrax loses this benefit for 1 minute after it takes any amount of fire damage.
