# [Brown Scavver](3-Mechanics\CLI\bestiary\monstrosity/brown-scavver-bam.md) *Source: Boo's Astral Menagerie p. 49, Light of Xaryxis* Brown scavvers are 10 feet long and range in color from sun-dappled brownish gold to dark umber. It takes them days to digest a meal, during which time they attack only in self-defense. A brown scavver likes to swallow its prey whole. The creature's stomach is filled with poisonous gas, which kills off anything that survives being swallowed. ```statblock "name": "Brown Scavver (BAM)" "size": "Large" "type": "monstrosity" "alignment": "Unaligned" "ac": !!int "13" "ac_class": "natural armor" "hp": !!int "51" "hit_dice": "6d10 + 18" "stats": - !!int "18" - !!int "15" - !!int "17" - !!int "1" - !!int "10" - !!int "1" "speed": "0 ft., fly 40 ft."
