Enchanting Scent: An atog can smell any magic item within a 30ft. radius.
Enchanting Appetite: As an action, an atog can clamp down on a common magic item with its teeth, and the item becomes progressively more damaged over the next 10 rounds as the atog ingests it. After 5 rounds, the item has a 50% chance of not working. After 7 rounds, the item is damaged too much to work at all until it is repaired. After 10 rounds, the atog has completely devoured the item, destroying it. Atogs can also devour magic items of greater rarity; each successive rarity category adds 2 rounds to the time it takes to damage the item at each step. An atog cannot devour artifacts. The item can be wrested from the atog by using a disarm action, using an action during grappling (with the Grappler feat), or by incapacitating/killing the atog.
Enchanting Sustenance: If an atog successfully devours a magic item, it receives the following bonuses for the next 24 hours: A +2 bonus to STR, DEX, and CON; one extra hit die; and resistance to magical damage. If a sentient magic item is devoured, the atog also receives a +2 bonus to INT, WIS, and CHA. These buffs stack with multiple devourings, though the durations are tracked separately.
Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: (1d6 + 2) piercing damage.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: (1d4 + 2) slashing damage.
Description
This thin, gremlin-like creature stands about 4ft. tall and possesses purple, veiny skin, large, bulbous, orange eyes, and a large mouth filled with dagger-like teeth. Driven by an insatiable hunger, these creatures endlessly hunt for magic items to devour, at times even ambushing travelers in packs. While one Atog who has not fed recently poses little danger to experienced adventurers, one that has feasted on multiple items can be pretty challenging. There are stories of Atogs that have managed to break into magic shops or laboratories and subsequently terrorize the surrounding area for a short time.
