Lava Bound.

Can exist outside of lava or magma for up to 4 hrs each day. If it starts its turn outside of lava and didn’t take fire since end of its previous turn its shell begins to cool and harden. While its shell is hardened has walking speed of 20' AC 18 and vulnerability to bludgeoning. If it starts its turn in lava or if it took fire damage since end of its previous turn its shell becomes molten again. If vorthropod remains outside of lava for more than 4 hrs its shell becomes petrified transforming into basalt and vorthropod within goes into hibernation.
