Combat
Burrow-mawgs attack immediately at the first scent of food
if it appears that they have sufficient numbers to bring down
their prey.
Rage (Ex): As soon as a burrow-mawg pack smells prey,
it flies into a berserk rage. Individual mawgs gain +4 Str, +4
Con, and –2 AC. If half the pack is killed during combat, each
creature may make a Will save (DC 15) to end its rage and flee.
Any creature that remains enraged fights until either it or its
opponent is dead.
Light blindness (Ex): Abrupt exposure to bright light (such
as sunlight or a light spell) blinds burrow-mawgs for 1 round.
They also suffer a –1 circumstance penalty to all attack rolls,
saves, and skill checks while operating in bright light.
Skills: Burrow-mawgs have a +4 racial bonus to Listen and
Spot checks. *They receive an additional +4 racial bonus to
Spot checks in areas of shadowy illumination.
Treasure
Occasionally items of value such as gems, coins, and other
small objects can be found in burrow-mawg dens or anywhere
else the creatures pass waste. The adrenal gland, located at the
base of its brain, is teeming with the hormone that gives the
beast its exceptional physicality. Eating the adrenal gland of a
burrow-mawg raises the Strength and Constitution of the consumer
by +2 for 4d8 rounds.

Burrow-Mawg
Legends & Lore
CoMMoN: None.
UNCoMMoN: Burrow-mawgs cannot tolerate direct light.
They are rarely seen during the day, and they hibernate in the
deepest parts of their den during the summer months.
RARE: Eating the burrow-mawg adrenal gland boosts the
consumer’s physical prowess. This attribute-enhancing organ,
however, is rather addictive.
obSCURE: The creatures communicate through minute clicking
sounds among their chittering although their “language” is
seemingly not very complex.
Hooks
Burrow-mawg adrenal glands have become the drug du jour
among the local nobility. The glands are valued amongst the
nobility not for the benefits one gains in combat after consuming
them, but for the high that comes with the increased physical
attributes. Suffice to say, these nobles are paying handsomely
for fresh burrow-mawg carcasses.
“Those nasty little mawglings have a hunger so terrible there be two flaws
I know of that’ll help you outmaneuver ‘em. One is, they smell blood, they
go mad; they’ll even eat each other. Two, once they get a taste, they lose all
sense of everything else. They’ll leap over a cliff or even straight into a
dracodile’s maw to chase after meat they’ve tasted.”
– Bors “Longwalker” Durant, Cygnaran scout
