Traits

Pack Leader.The aurumvorax's allies have advantage on attack rolls while within 10 feet of the aurumvorax, provided it isn't incapacitated.

Tunneler.The aurumvorax can burrow through solid rock and metal at half its burrowing speed and leaves a 5-foot-diameter tunnel in its wake.

Actions

Multiattack.The aurumvorax makes one Bite attack and two Claw attacks.

Bite.mw 6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. ({@damage 2d8 + 4) piercing damage. If the target is a creature wearing armor of any type, the aurumvorax gains one of the following benefits of its choice:

Frenzy.The aurumvorax has advantage on attack rolls until start of its next turn.

Invigorate.The aurumvorax regains 6 (1d8 + 2) hit points.

Claw.mw 6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. ({@damage 2d6 + 4) slashing damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape 14). Until this grapple ends, the aurumvorax can't use its Claw attack on another target, and when it moves, it can drag the grappled creature with it, without the aurumvorax's speed being halved.
