Ankheg (Basic Lore)

Ankheg (CR 6)
Neutral - Large - Magical Beast
The ankheg is a massive insectoid beast whose depredations are cause for concern wherever they appear. Ankhegs are powerful diggers and burrowers who pop up when they are least expected to grab prey and vanish with them. Ankheg incursions prompt full-scale responses from local authorities and are cause for extensive bug-hunts wherever they are found. Ankhegs are brown and black beetle-like monsters ten to fifteen feet long, well equipped with biting mandibles, gripping legs, and acidic sprays of clinging glue. Even for their size, ankhegs are enormously strong.
