For example, the Wolf Morash is a totem of the Wolf Spirit piloted by a hero called Morash.Note: These sample creatures have equipment budgets equal to an NPC with a Challenge Rating equal to the guardian juggernaut, not the base creature. This is because the tribe who sponsor the juggernaut provide their champion with superior gear.The Wolf MorashWooden Guardian Juggernaut piloted by 5th-level Human FighterHuge Construct (Augmented)Hit Dice: 5d10+10+5d10+40 (105 hp)Initiative: +2Speed: 40 ft.

If the juggernaut faces closely-packed weak opponents it employs its sweep attack.Spiritual Equipment (Su): See the Guardian Juggernaut template's Special Qualities for a description of this ability.Stomp (Ex): The Wolf Morash can stomp an opponent of Medium size or smaller. This is a special full-round action during which the juggernaut moves up to twice its ground speed and attempts to move into its opponent's space. If the victim fails a DC 27 Reflex save, the opponent takes 4d8+18 bludgeoning damage, following which the Wolf Morash may either pin or kick the opponent. If the victim succeeds at the Reflex save, the victim takes half damage, the juggernaut's movement ends next to the opponent's space, and the opponent may make an attack of opportunity against the juggernaut. The save DC is Strength-based.If the Wolf Morash pins its opponent, the victim automatically takes stomp damage during the next round unless the juggernaut moves off them. If the juggernaut chooses to maintain the pin, treat it as a normal grapple attack. Pinned opponents continue to take stomp damage each round if they don’t escape.If the Wolf Morash kicks the opponent, the victim travels 1d6 × 10 feet, and takes 1d6 points of damage per 10 feet traveled plus stomp damage from the kick.Sweep (Ex): This special attack allows the Wolf Morash to sweep its arms from side to side as a standard action. The sweep affects a half-circle with a 15 foot radius, extending from an intersection on the edge of the juggernaut's space in any direction. Creatures within the swept area are affected if they are Medium size or smaller. A sweep automatically deals 2d8+18 damage. Affected creatures can attempt DC 27 Reflex saves to take half damage (the save DC is Strength-based).Equipment: +1 longsword, +1 mithral shirt, +1 heavy darkwood shield, boots of the winterlands, cloak of resistance +1, eyes of the eagle, gloves of dexterity+2, potion of cure moderate wounds.Budget 16,000 gp.+1 longsword 2,315+1 mithral shirt 2,100+1 heavy darkwood shield 1,257+1 cloak of resistance 1,000boots of the winterlands 2,500eyes of the eagle 2,500+2 gloves of dexterity 4,000potion of cure moderate wounds 300TOTAL 15,972 REMAINDER 28</blockquote>
