Back Kick. A leucrotta that springs away can back kick as an immediate action, attacking an opponent with 2 hooves (1d6/1d6).
Spring Away. [flee] A leucrotta can spring away, exiting melee by falling back up to half their normal movement, without granting a free attack to any opponents in melee. When doing so, it can back kick.
Voice Imitation. A leucrotta can imitate any voice it's heard before with surprising accuracy.
These creatures are intelligent and cruel, using their astounding vocal mimicry to lure foolish and unsuspecting creatures to where the pack can torment them at its leisure before finally devouring them.
Five feet tall at the shoulder, its tawny fur often coated with dried and clotted filth, the leucrotta is a powerful beast weighing over 800 pounds. It's head is badger-like—The sharp bone ridges that line its oversized jaws instead of teeth are incredibly durable and, combined with massive jaw muscles, allow its bite to shear through bone and even steel. Leucrottas consume their prey gear and all; they vomit up what they cannot digest and pick through the debris in search of valuable items that might help them lure in prey.
Environment. Temperate and Sub-tropical, Uninhabited (rough); Underground
