| Advancement | — |
| Possessions | Light Steel Shield (x2), krana |
| Hardness (Ex) | A bohrok shell has a hardness of 5 and a break DC of 28. |
| Krana Vehicle (Ex) | A bohrok shell cannot make actions except as commanded by a krana while they wear it. A worn krana is protected by a transparent piece of the bohrok shell, and so cannot be disarmed or damaged until its shell is destroyed or breaks. Use magic device may be used by or through a psionic item to imitate the commands of a krana to the shell. |
| Eject (Ex) | A bohrok shell is capable of forcefully ejecting its krana on command. This launches said krana as if it were a throwing weapon with a range increment of 10 ft. |
| Boll (Ex) | A bohrok shell may curl into a ball on its krana's command. While in this form, the shell adds +10 ft. to its land speed, increases its natural armor by 4, gains an effective two size categories for the purpose of determining the damage of their slam attack and for bull-rush attempts. However, in this form, a shell may not use attacks other than its slam attack or attempting a bull-rush. A bohrok shell may apply their run feat in this form. |
| Breed Power (Ex) | (See Table: Breeds) These mechanical bodies have the innate ability to focus their elemental energies through their shields, each breed creating different effects in doing so. Any breed power that functions as a spell uses the bohrok's HD as its CL. A bohrok must have their shields equipped to use this ability. |
Strategies and Tactics
As bohrok shells lack any form of intellect, krana do all the strategics. Krana will typically eject themselves onto the face of a perceiveably more powerful enemy.
Sample Encounters
Ecology
Environment: Bohrok will most likely reside in a hive-like cavern, deep underground. This is not because they have particular affinities for darkness or aversions to light, but simply because it is where their queens reside. Typical Physical Characteristics: Bohrok shells are round, stout, insect-like machines. Each wields a shield symbolically shaped to match their element on either two upper appendages and carries a krana inside their head section. As they were created to be operated by krana, their domed faceplates are mostly transparent so that the krana may see. Bohrok shells have short, but powerful legs, allowing them surprisingly fast movement for their shape. Alignment: As bohrok shells lack any form of will, krana decide their every action.
