ABOUT

Hidden Hunters. Carvaloths are ancient predators that possess the ability to change their skin color, much like a chameleon. This trait functions as camouflage, when stalking prey or hiding from other predators, and as a display of dominance toward other packs of carvaloths.

Strength in Numbers. A carvaloth’s fanged maw is filled with caustic spittle that eats through stone, metal, and flesh. A lone carvaloth is fierce and dangerous. In packs, these predators can quickly outnumber and overwhelm larger creatures.

  • DC 10 Intelligence (Nature): Carvaloths are pack hunters. A carvaloth uses chameleonlike camouflage to hide and stalk prey.
