Any spellcaster within 40 feet of a chaggrin who casts a spell with the same descriptor as the grue's element (earth, fire, air, or water) must succeed on a DC 15 caster level check or have the spell fail. Within the same area of any such spell currently in effect, a grue has a chance to dispel the effect as a free action, as if casting a targeted dispel magic (caster level 10th). #### ecology **Terrain** Elemental Plane of Earth **Organization** Solitary **Treasure** Spell object or none **Advancement** 4–6 HD (Medium); 7–9 HD Large) Chaggrins, or earth grues, are magical corruptions of earth and rock. They are hate- ful and violent creatures that dig and burrow for no other reason than to damage the element that spawned them, but they especially like to slake their dusty thirst with the blood of Material Plane creatures. An earth grue is about 5 feet long and weighs almost 500 pounds. To determine the type of spell object contained in an earth grue, roll d%: 01–70, resist energy; 71–100, nondetection. ### Combat Chaggrins like to lie buried in the ground, hoping to surprise foes passing overhead.
