Crashing Fall Due to their size, a terra carver falls a lot harder than most creatures. When a terra carver is knocked Prone or takes falling damage, they take an additional 15 bludgeoning damage in addition to any other effect.

Territorial Retaliation ⟲ Trigger A creature within 15 feet uses a move action or leaves a square during a move action (move actions using only a fly Speed don't trigger this reaction)

Effect The terra carver attempts an Athletics check to Trip the triggering creature. Regardless of the result, the space of the triggering creature and all spaces on the ground adjacent to that creature become difficult terrain for 1 round.

Speed
20 feet, burrow 10 feet

Melee ◆ stone tool +26 (reach 15 feet, versatile b, versatile s), Damage 3d10+16 piercing plus Hew Stone

Ranged ◆ rock +24 (propulsive), Damage 3d8+12 bludgeoning

Carve Projectile ◆◆ The terra carver carves a deadly projectile from nearby materials and makes a rock ranged Strike that gains the deadly d10 trait. On a successful hit, the target also falls Prone.

Hew Stone Melee attacks the terra carver makes with their stone tool ignore physical resistance and Hardness.

Stone Tunnels A terra carver can burrow through solid stone. When they do, they leave a tunnel.

Wedge ◆◆ The terra carver attempts a stone tool Strike while wedging the blow further with another tool. If it hits, the target takes an additional 3d10 damage of the same type as the Strike and is Enfeebled 2 for 1 hour or until the creature is fully healed. This counts as two attacks for the terra carver's multiple attack penalty.
