Brute
How to run itBurrow up beneath the party, open with Poisonous Saliva on a cluster, then commit to bite-and-claw multiattacks, using the poisoning bite to wear targets down.

The greater krayt was a rarer, larger species of krayt dragon, known for its tremendous size and continual growth over time. Creatures of near legendary status, greater krayt dragons had ten legs, measured at least 100 meters from snout to tail tip and had the ability to move through or on Tatooine's desert sand. Greater krayt dragons attacked with their massive jaws or whip-like spike-tail, using their claws only to move through the sand.
