Titiko
spear-lord of the road-folk astride the red saurian
Titiko — The Encounter
spear-lord of the road-folk astride the red saurian · a boss your table can run with almost no prep. SRD 5.1-compatible.
Who Is Titiko
Titiko is the Bobbits' rider-champion, the one small warrior brave or mad enough to break and ride the red saurian the band found wounded on a forgotten road. Where the rest of the wandering folk fight on foot in close ranks, Titiko sweeps wide on the beast, spear couched, scattering whatever threatens the wagons. The saurian fears nothing while Titiko sits its saddle, and Titiko fears nothing while its jaws lead the way. Together they are the Bobbits' hammer, the charge that breaks a siege of the camp and the terror that buys the foot-fighters room. The road-folk hold Titiko half in awe and half in worry, for a champion who rides ahead of the line rides alone, and the band would sooner lose a wagon than lose its rider.
Run Titiko in Sixty Seconds
- Charge first then Trampling Charge a key foe prone before biting it down.
- Open the combo then Bite, Claw, and War Spear the same target in one round.
- Punish closers then use Snapping Jaws when anyone hits the pair in melee.
- When bloodied then Surge Forward out of the pile and wheel for another charge, never stand still.
- Spend legendaries then alternate Lunging Spear and Thrashing Tail to control the whole front.

How It Fights — by Tier
Same creature, scaled threat. The traits never change; only the numbers move.
Use Titiko and the saurian as a mobile hammer screening the warband: open with a Trampling Charge to knock a key foe prone, then Bite, Claw, and Spear it down. Stay near the Bobbit line so Snapping Jaws punishes anyone who closes.
Run the pair as the warband's heavy cavalry, charging out to break enemy formations and wheeling back to guard the wagons. Trampling Charge sets up prone targets the foot Bobbits finish.
Here Titiko is the band's lone champion. Open with a charge, use legendary actions to lunge and tail-sweep across the line, and never let the pair be pinned, surging away to charge again.

How a bound creature acts
- A companion acts on its owner's initiative, immediately after the owner.
- It uses the Companion block above — roughly ×0.6 HP and damage, no recharge abilities, and at most one reaction trait.
- It moves freely; it takes its Action only while its owner is conscious.
- At 0 HP a companion is broken, not dead — restored on a long rest unless your table rules otherwise.

Questions, Asked at the Table
What CR is Titiko?
Titiko and the saurian are CR 11 at their native Tier 3 (AC 18, 210 HP). Scale to AC 15/90 HP for Tier 1 or AC 17/150 HP for Tier 2.
How does Titiko fight alongside the rest of the Bobbits?
The mounted pair is the warband's heavy charge, breaking enemy formations and knocking foes prone for the foot Bobbits to finish before wheeling back to guard the wagons.
Is Titiko a solo boss?
Yes. The rider-and-saurian pair carries a real action-economy kit, three legendary actions plus the Snapping Jaws reaction, so it can headline a Tier 3 fight alone.
