At 90 HP, the Triple King's Hawk Scan becomes x2, it's DC increases by 2, and it can target any creature it can see.

LAST STAND:

The Triple King is dying! 45 more damage and it's dead! It immediately gains 3 Scanning Charges!

The abdomen of a grasshopper, upper torso of a tiger, and head of a hawk are all merged in this ersatz chimera known as a "Hopping Hawkger." Who made this creature is utterly unknown. But WHY it was made is simple: Greed.
