Granitehead

Large giant, chaotic evil Armor Class 15 (natural armor) Hit Points 136 (16d10 + 48) Speed 25 ft. STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 19 (+4) 8 (-1) 16 (+3) 5 (-3) 7 (-2) 7 (-2) Saving Throws Con +6 Senses , blindsight 60 ft. (blind beyond this radius),passive Perception 8 Languages Common, Giant, Terran Challenge 5 (1,800 XP) Living Rock. The granitehead’s stony skin hardens as it takes damage. When its current hit points are less than or equal to half its maximum hit points (68), it gains resistance to all damage types except psychic and thunder. Its speed is also reduced to 10 feet and it loses the Multiattack action. Additionally, when the ogre takes damage that would reduce it to 0 hit points, it instead falls to 1 hit point and gains immunity to all conditions, spells, and damage, with the exception of shatter and disintegrate. It cannot take actions. At the end of its turn, it heals 5 hit points. It remains in this state until its hit points are completely restored. Death Burst. If an immobile and regenerating granitehead is in the radius of a shatter effect, it automatically fails its saving throw, dies, and explodes in a burst of granite shards. All creatures within 20 feet of the ogre must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 21 (6d6) piercing damage, and half that much on a successful one. ACTIONS Multiattack. The ogre makes two slam attacks. Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (3d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage. Ground Smash. The ogre pounds the earth in its space with its fists. The earth erupts in a line 60 feet long and 5 feet wide. Each creature in the line must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 21 (6d6) thunder damage on a failed saving throw and is knocked prone. On a successful saving throw, the creature takes half damage and is not knocked prone. Creatures that succeed on this saving throw have advantage on saving throws against any granitehead’s Ground Smash for the next 24 hours.

{{{description}}} This giant’s skin is a dull gray, but dozens of black flecks sparkle as light reflects off its grotesquely muscular body. It clenches its boulder-sized fists as its empty eye sockets fix upon you. Legends speak of a tribe of half-elementals who lived on a distant mountain. Their druids knew the secret language of the stones, and they were said to be the chosen of the mountain. Living also in the mountains were their enemies: a tribe of ogres led by a particularly immature, aggressive, and stupid ogre king named Granitehead—and when Granitehead didn’t get his way, people died. Granitehead’s ogres wanted the annoying half-elementals off their mountain, but when he attacked, the mountain itself opened up and swallowed him whole. The mountain was safe for a time, but Granitehead’s anger and selfishness was stronger than the stone that swallowed him, and legions of stone ogres in his likeness rose out of the mountainside and slaughtered all they could see. Little remains of either tribe now.
