| Description = Otyughs are monsters that live on the wastes of other monsters.


Everything that is disgusting and terrible, an otyugh loves. Even ogres, those wretched things, find an otyugh's personal habits and lifestyle vomit-inducing.  Otyughs perform an important ecological function in lairs and dungeons, disposing of the wastes of the rest of the inhabitants, but it certainly doesn't improve their breath.
:Ew.


Otyughs also have the peculiar habit of venerating certain pieces of trash above others in their lairs.  Often, they will build shrines to a collection of broken glass shards, or a bent tea kettle, placing it somewhere it can easily regard it when it takes its ease amid the filth and refuse of its lair.  While these shrines are not, themselves, particularly clean, they demonstrate an inscrutable reverence and spirituality to the otyugh's nature.

=== SPECIAL ABILITIES ===
| NudgeReach = -1
; Grab (Ex)
  <!--Values: any positive or negative number, or leave blank. Max recommended is +/-2. This is number of SQUARES; will be converted to feet.-->
Any time the otyugh hits a creature with a tentacle, it may make a free grab attack against the creature in addition to dealing damage. If the grab is successful, the creature is [[Grappled]], though the otyugh is not.  While grappling a creature with a tentacle, the otyugh may not use that tentacle to attack any creature other than the one grabbed (see Constrict below). No creature may be grabbed by more than one tentacle at a time, even tentacles from other otyughs. Grabbed creatures may attempt to escape the grapple on their turns (or take any other action available to them while grappling), per the normal grappling rules.
  <!--NOTE: If type or subtype is "Swarm", the reach will default to 0 ft.-->
  <!--NOTE: If type or subtype is "Troop", the reach will default to the normal reach for the component creature size (e.g. 5 ft. for size medium)-->




; Constrict (Ex)
As part of its attack action, an otyugh that has a creature grabbed with a tentacle may use that tentacle to constrict the creature.  Constrict deals 1d6+3 damage to the creature, and the creature must make a Fortitude save, DC 17, or become [[Bruised]].  Constrict may be used once per tentacle, assuming the otyugh has two different creatures grabbed, but a given tentacle cannot use Constrict on the same round that it used Grab.


<!--  GENERAL ATTACK INFORMATION  -->


; Filth Fever (Ex, Disease)
| MeleeOrNatural = Natural
Bite-injury; save Fortitude DC 17; onset 1d3 days; frequency 1/day; effect 1d3 Dex damage and 1d3 Con damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Constitution-based.
  <!--REQUIRED; Values: "Melee" (has ONLY a Primary attack), or "Natural" (has Pri and Sec attacks)-->


| MultipliedDamageType =
  <!--Roles only (leave blank if no role); Values: "Attacks" (+atks/rnd), "Damage" (+damage/rnd), or "Hybrid" (default; both +atks/+dmg)-->


; Midden Climber (Ex)
| IgnoreSecondary = Y
An otyugh can move through difficult terrain as though it is normal terrain.  They also take no penalties from climbing at full speed, and are never made flat-footed due to climbing, though they do not have a natural climb speed.
  <!--Values: "Y" to hide, or leave blank to show; Hides all information about a secondary attack, in the event that the monster has only a single attack during a full attack (e.g. swarms)-->




=== TREASURE ===

<!--  PRIMARY ATTACK INFORMATION  -->


=== COMBAT TACTICS ===
| PriAtkName = Horrible Bite
Often, otyughs will merely observe strangers, rather than immediately attacking.  Other times, otyughs will aggressively engage in combat, either to defend its lair, or because it feels some loyalty to a local denizen and wants to guard them against intruders. Or it could just be in a bad mood.  Regardless, otyughs are fearsome opponents.
  <!--name of primary attack, weapons or natural attacks (e.g. "Longsword" or "Bite")-->


Using their significant reach, otyughs will batter and bite their opponents until they identify one or two who seem particularly dangerous. This will be any creature whose damage stands out as being significantly greater than its allies, often a rogue, brawler or sorcerer, etc. These creatures will be singled out for grabs and constrict attacks, while the other creatures are relegated to bite attacks. 
| PriAtkNotes = plus Filth Fever (see below)
  <!--add any specials (e.g. "as negative energy" or "plus filth fever (see below)", etc.)-->


The otyugh will maintain a grab on a creature until the creature escapes, dies, or the otyugh is killed.
| PriAtkNotes-FullAtkOnly =
  <!--use if Primary Attack does something different during a full attack; replaces PriAtkNotes value if not blank-->


Otyughs aren't particularly stealthy, and their unusual shape makes them fairly easy to identify.  However, they are fairly smart, and will make use of walls, corners and rough terrain to minimize flanks on themselves while they steadily crush their chosen victims.

<!--  COMBAT TACTICS  -->
 
| CombatTactics = Often, otyughs will merely observe strangers, rather than immediately attacking.  Other times, otyughs will aggressively engage in combat, either to defend its lair, or because it feels some loyalty to a local denizen and wants to guard them against intruders.  Or it could just be in a bad mood.  Regardless, otyughs are fearsome opponents.
 
:Using their significant reach, otyughs will batter and bite their opponents until they identify one or two who seem particularly dangerous. This will be any creature whose damage stands out as being significantly greater than its allies, often a rogue, brawler or sorcerer, etc.  These creatures will be singled out for grabs and constrict attacks, while the other creatures are relegated to bite attacks. 
 
:The otyugh will maintain a grab on a creature until the creature escapes, dies, or the otyugh is killed.
 
:Otyughs aren't particularly stealthy, and their unusual shape makes them fairly easy to identify.  However, they are fairly smart, and will make use of walls, corners and rough terrain to minimize flanks on themselves while they steadily crush their chosen victims.
