The athach is a hulking, misshapen biped. An adult stands some 18 feet tall and weighs about 4,500 pounds. Athachs speak a crude dialect of [[SRD:Giant Type|Giant]].

===Combat===

Athachs [[SRD:Charge|charge]] into melee combat unless their opponents are out of reach, in which case they throw rocks. They sometimes try to overrun armored opponents to reach unarmored opponents in back ranks. With its first few [[SRD:Melee Attack|melee attacks]], an athach tends to flail about indiscriminately. After a few rounds, it concentrates on foes that have been hitting it most often and uses its bite on whoever has dealt it the most damage.

'''[[SRD:Poison|Poison]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Injury, [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude]] [[SRD:DC|DC]] 22, initial damage 1d6 [[SRD:Strength|Str]], secondary damage 2d6 [[SRD:Strength|Str]]. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based.
