[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6381542, member: 15700"] Sometimes when I am looking for inspiration, I look to real life animals. Because sometimes truth is stranger than fiction ;) In this instance as you describe, a caved-in lost mine and tunnels? With a clan of kobolds? I might go with a giant version of the horned spider tail viper [ATTACH=CONFIG]64024._xfImport[/ATTACH] [B]GIANT HORNED SPIDER TAIL VIPER[/B]Huge Beast, unaligned Armor Class: 14 (natural armor) Hit Points: 76 (8d12+24) Speed: 40ft STR: 18 (+4), DEX: 16 (+3), CON: 14 (+2), INT: 7 (-2), WIS: 6 (-2), CHA: 6 (-2) Senses: darkvision 60ft, Passive Perception 13 Skills: stealth +6 Saving Throws: Dexterity +5, Constitution +4 Languages: -- Challenge: 4 (1,100 XP) ACTIONS [B]Bite[/B].

DC 12 Con saving throw or take 10 (3d6) poison damage and target is [I]poisoned[/I] TACTICS Snake remains hidden, using its coloration and rough scales to blend in near perfectly among the rocks and stone. It leaves the tip of its tail exposed, twitching it like a large spider (2' in diameter). When a creature comes to investigate it, it moves the "spider" away, skittering into the darkness. As the prey gets closer, the snake strikes. In your scenario, the snake hunts the kobolds. If you want to make it more of a fantasy creature, you could turn the spider tail into something that looks like a pile of gems or something. [/QUOTE]
