Lore

Large Beings that follow the lifegiver. They will follow their leaders to their death. Your physical shape notwithstanding, grik have more in common with dinosaurs or dragons than they do with humans, dwarves, or elves. Grik possess an alien and inscrutable mindset, their desires and thoughts driven by a different set of basic principles than those of warm-blooded creatures. Despite their alien outlook, some grik make an effort to understand and, in their own manner, befriend people who can best them in combat. Such grik make faithful and skilled allies.

Bite

Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which can be used to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you can deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Natural Armor

You have a tough scaly skin. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.

You gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Nature, Perception, Stealth, and Survival.

Hungry Jaws (Level 2)

In battle, you can throw yourself into a vicious feeding frenzy. As a bonus action, you can make a special attack with your bite. If the attack hits, it deals its normal damage, and you gain temporary hit points (minimum of 1) equal to your Constitution modifier, and you can't use this trait again until you finish a short or a long rest.
