    desc: "  Tremorsense allows a monster to feel the vibrations through a solid surface caused by movement. It is an imprecise sense with a limited range (listed in the ability). Tremorsense functions only if the monster is on the same surface as the subject, and only if the subject is moving along (or burrowing through) the surface."

If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike."

Any creature that walks onto the zaramuun moves into its body and is Engulfed."

    desc: "`pf2:2`  DC 35 Reflex check, 4d12 bludgeoning damage and [[Spells/Planar Tether|Planar Tether]], Escape DC 32, Rupture 28\n* * *\n\nThe monster Strides up to double its Speed and can move through the spaces of any creatures in its path. Any creature of the monster's size or smaller whose space the monster moves through can attempt a Reflex save with the listed DC to avoid being engulfed. A creature unable to act automatically critically fails this save. If a creature succeeds at its save, it can choose to be either pushed aside (out of the monster's path) or pushed in front of the monster to the end of the monster's movement. The monster can attempt to Engulf the same creature only once in a single use of Engulf. The monster can contain as many creatures as can fit in its space.\n\nA creature that fails its save is pulled into the monster's body. It is [[Conditions/Grabbed|Grabbed]], is [[Conditions/Slowed|Slowed 1]], and has to hold its breath or start suffocating. The creature takes the listed amount of damage when first engulfed and at the end of each of its turns while it's engulfed. An engulfed creature can get free by [[Actions/Escape|Escaping]] against the listed escape DC. An engulfed creature can attack the monster engulfing it, but only with unarmed attacks or with weapons of light Bulk or less. The engulfing creature is [[Conditions/Off-Guard|Off-Guard]] against the attack. If the monster takes piercing or slashing damage equaling or exceeding the listed Rupture value from a single attack or spell, the engulfed creature cuts itself free. A creature that gets free by either method can immediately breathe and exits the swallowing monster's space.\n\nIf the monster dies, all creatures it has engulfed are automatically released as the monster's form loses cohesion."

    desc: "`pf2:1`  **Requirements** The zaramuun hit with a melee Strike with its last action, or it has a creature Engulfed.\n* * *\n\n**Effect** The zaramuun attempts to [[Actions/Disarm|Disarm]] one primarily metal or stone object from the Struck or Engulfed creature and casts its innate [[Spells/Planar Tether|Planar Tether]] on the target creature."
 
  - name: "Sand Glide"
    desc: "  The zaramuun can [[Actions/Burrow|Burrow]] through sand and dirt (but not stone) at its full burrow Speed, leaving no tunnel or sign of its passing. Any Engulfed creatures are left behind when it Burrows. Loose sand and scree are not difficult terrain for a zaramuun."
 
  - name: "Sandblast"
    desc: "`pf2:2` (earth) The zaramuun sprays a blast of sand that deals 11d10 slashing damage to all creatures in a 60-foot line (DC 38 Reflex check).\n\nIt can't Sandblast again for 1d4 rounds.\n* * *\n\n**Critical Success** No effect.\n\n**Success** Half damage.\n\n**Failure** Full damage.\n\n**Critical Failure** Full damage and [[Conditions/Blinded|Blinded]] for 1 round."
 

name: Zaramuun
creatures:
  - 1: Zaramuun

Zaramuuns are beings of elemental sand that hide in deserts and wastelands. They disguise themselves as massive dunes before rising up to attack living creatures. The most infamous zaramuuns kill any living creatures they find, but others simply rob their victims of all metal and stone possessions before fleeing. Although zaramuuns insist they are only reclaiming what was taken from their ancestral earth, this is simple self-delusion; most zaramuuns use their stolen goods as payment and material components to conjure fiends, for Zaramuuns were exiled from the Plane of Earth after worshipping fiends who promised to give them power over other elementals. This worship gradually transformed into servitude, and now many zaramuuns believe that if they send enough souls to their masters, they will be set free.
