A behemoth can attempt a combat maneuver to overrun a Colossal or smaller opponent as a swift action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. ### Crushing Grip (Ex) When a behemoth eagle succeeds on a grapple check, it deals 4d8+15 points of damage. Creatures who take damage from this ability must succeed on a DC 27 Fortitude save or be exhausted. The save DC is Strength-based. #### ecology **Terrain** Any forest, hill, mountains, and plains **Organization** Solitary or pair **Treasure** None **Advancement** 21–42 HD (Colossal) Behemoths are outsiders in animal form that are of epic proportions, even larger and more powerful than dire animals. Behemoths resemble natural animals in almost all respects, but they are grossly larger than their natural counterparts, hailing from beyond the material plane. They are more intelligent than their mundane counterparts, and their otherworldliness confers a level of magical fortitude not found in earthbound versions. A behemoth eagle is an intelligent, keen-eyed bird of prey that sometimes associates with good creatures. It stands about 20 feet tall, with a wingspan of up to 80 feet. ### Combat A behemoth eagle usually attacks from a great height, diving earthward at tremendous speed, grabbing up land-bound prey and crushing it in its talons. When it cannot dive, it uses its powerful talons and slashing beak to strike its target’s head and eyes.
