Fort +5, Ref +6, Will +4

Melee: 2 claws +6 to hit melee 1d4+2 and bite +4 melee 1d6+1 

Or Gore (Charge attack, requires 1 rd run) +4 to hit 2d6+3 + Stun 1 rd

Can appear to be a statue (in fact the lair is littered with statue decoys) or can hide by changing color to match the stonework.

[Sam makes his appearance on the next level.  Gray Medieval monster statue, like on a Gothic building.  He actually keeps several decoy statues of himself on the Work Level.  Cool, calculating.  Likes to negotiate, but always makes sure it’s from a position of strength.  He’d like to have Billy weakened so that he can take over Keeper Hill, but that’s a long term plan.  For now, Sam will definitely work with Billy to combat this current threat.]

Blindsight: Grimlocks can sense all foes within 40 feet as a sighted creature would. Beyond that range, they treat all targets as having total concealment.

Grimlocks are susceptible to sound- and scent-based attacks, however, and are affected normally by loud noises and sonic spells and overpowering odors. Negating a Grimlock’s sense of smell or hearing blinds them, their “To hit” drops to +0.

Immunities: Grimlocks are immune to gaze attacks, visual effects, illusions, and other attack forms that rely on sight.

[Quiet beings.  They have a near group-mind when it comes to working together.]

[Note: These aren’t the official stats for a Grimlock, which I don’t have.  They’re a modified Lizardman.]
