View source for Spicule (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat ===

Spicules often burrow from underground, striking the enemy from below and burrowing back under the earth to prevent counterattack.  Even if prevented from burrowing, they are disturbingly fast on land.  They pull maneuvers whenever able, and are able to jump a considerable distance, meaning floating over the ground isn't always safe.

'''Burning Body {{Ex}}:'''  A spicule is constantly wrapped in flame.  Any creature striking with a non-reach weapon, a natural attack, or grappling takes 8d6 points of fire damage on impact.  This damage also applies to its own natural attacks.

'''Maneuver-Like Abilities:'''  ''burning blade''<sup>ToB</sup> (boost), ''desert tempest''<sup>ToB</sup> (strike), ''firesnake''<sup>ToB</sup> (strike), ''[[Haze of Lies (3.5e Maneuver)|haze of lies]]'' (strike), ''[[Hungry Earth (3.5e Maneuver)|hungry earth]]'' (strike), ''ring of fire''<sup>ToB</sup> (strike), ''rising phoenix''<sup>ToB</sup> (stance), ''[[Sand Spray (3.5e Maneuver)|sand spray]]'' (counter), ''searing charge''<sup>ToB</sup> (strike), ''[[Searing Foehn (3.5e Maneuver)|searing foehn]]'' (stance)

'''Sprint {{Ex}}:'''  Once per hour a spicule can move up to x10 its normal speed in a straight line as a full-round action.  This movement provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.
