Grizzer

These gangly fey lizards are known for two traits. First, they look ridiculous when they run, dashing on hind legs while waving their front legs wildly in the air. Second, they're inveterate thieves with the ability to store an extraordinary amount of goods in their stomach. Many grizzers appeared in the River Kingdoms a little over 10 years ago, but several coordinated hunts drove them further southwest, where they've begun to thrive in the forests of Razmiran.

Cold Iron Indigestion If the grizzer swallows a cold iron item or a creature holding or wearing a cold iron item, the grizzer becomes sickened 2 until they regurgitate it.Extradimensional Stomach The grizzer's stomach is an extradimensional space (that appears to be an immense elongated leathery chamber) capable of holding up to 24 Bulk. Unless the grizzer uses Digest, the space has the same environment as the grizzer's surroundings, and creatures inside don't take damage from being swallowed, nor do they face the threat of suffocation.
Speed 40 feet, climb 40 feet, swim 20 feet
Melee [one-action] jaws +23 [+18/+13], Damage 2d12+13 piercing and GrabMelee [one-action] claw (agile +23), Damage 2d8+13 slashingDigest [three-actions] (acid, concentrate, healing) The grizzer fills their stomach with acid for 1 round to digest its contents. Creatures inside the stomach must hold their breath or start suffocating, and they take 4d8 acid damage (DC 29 basic Reflex save). The grizzer can Sustain this activity, in which case the stomach remains filled with acid; creatures inside take acid damage at the end of their turn and can't catch their breath. The grizzer regains 10 Hit Points if at least one creature takes acid damage as a result of Digest.Limber A grizzer ignores difficult terrain from narrow confines and can move at full Speed when Squeezing.Regurgitate [one-action] The grizzer regurgitates a creature or unattended item from their stomach into an adjacent unoccupied space.Snatch Object [one-action] (agile, attack) The grizzer unfurls their sticky tongue at a creature within 15 feet and attempts to either pull the target closer or Disarm it. If they choose to pull the target, they attempt an Athletics check against the target's Fortitude DC and pull it into an adjacent space on a success. If the grizzer attempts to Disarm the target, they gain a +1 circumstance bonus to the Athletics check if the item is made of shiny material or magically illuminated, such as by revealing light. If the Disarm attempt critically succeeds, the grizzer also grabs the item with their tongue and swallows it.Swallow Whole [one-action] (attack) Huge, no damage, Rupture 20

Sidebar - Related Creatures Strange Fey Appetites

A grizzer's strange appetite isn't unique among fey. Azarpals, for example, can store food in their bellies and infuse them with poisons that wreak havoc on feasts and banquets. Stories of whales swimming in otherworldly seas that have swallowed entire villages, or of duplicitous serpentine fey who can assume the forms of those they consume, suggest that fey with strange appetites aren't so unusual on the First World.
