The mutant protecter of the Elder Brain in my epic Forgotten Realms campaign. It swims in the Great Pool the Brain lives in. The players have assaulted Oryndoll. Might be a candidate for the Creature Collection.
Shadowscar: Male wyrm black illithidragon; CR 23; Gargantuan aberration (water); HD 34d8+238; hp 391; Init +6; Spd 60 ft., swim 60 ft., fly 250 ft. (clumsy); AC 43 (47), touch 8, flat-footed 41 (45); Base Atk +25; Grp +49; Atk +34 melee (3d6+12, tentacle); Full Atk +34 melee (3d6+12, 4 tentacles) and +31 melee (3d8+6, 2 claws) and +31 melee (2d6+6, 2 wings) and +31 melee (2d8+18, tail slap); Space/Reach 20 ft./15 ft. (20 ft. with tentacle); SA breath weapon (120-ft. line of acid), corrupt water, crush 4d6+18, extract, frightful presence, improved grab, mind blast (DC 22), spell-like abilities, spells, tail sweep 2d6+18; SQ blindsense 60 ft., damage reduction 20/epic and magic, darkvision 120 ft., immunities (acid, paralysis, sleep), keen senses, spell resistance 44, telepathy 100 ft., water breathing; AL CE; SV Fort +18, Ref +13, Will +27; Str 35, Dex 15, Con 25, Int 22, Wis 23, Cha 22.
Skills and Feats: Concentration +44, Hide +27, Listen +45, Search +43, Sense Motive +43, Spot +45, Survival +43 (+45 following tracks), Swim +57; Ability Focus (mind blast), Alertness, Blind-Fight, Combat Casting, Improved Initiative, Improved Natural Armor, Improved Natural Attack (claws), Improved Natural Attack (tentacle), Multiattack, Power Attack, Quicken Spell-Like Ability (darkness), Weapon Focus (tentacle).
Blindsense (Ex): Shadowscar can pinpoint creatures within a distance of 60 feet. Opponents that he cannot actually see still have total concealment against him.
Breath Weapon (Su): Once every 1d4 rounds, Shadowscar can breathe a 120-foot line of acid. Each creature within the area must make a successful Reflex save (DC 34) or take 22d4 points of acid damage.
Corrupt Water (Sp): Once per day, Shadowscar can stagnate 10 cubic feet of water, making it still, foul, and unable to support animal life. This ability spoils liquids containing water. A magic item (such as a potion) or an item in a creature’s possession must succeed on a Will save (DC 33) or become fouled. This effect is the equivalent of a 1st-level spell, and its range is 330 feet. Caster level 13th.
Crush (Ex): When flying or jumping, Shadowscar can land on Medium or smaller opponents as a standard action, using his whole body to crush them. His crush attack affects a 20-foot-by-20-foot area. Each creature in the affected area must succeed on a Reflex save (DC 34) or be pinned, automatically taking 4d6+18 points of bludgeoning damage each round that it remains pinned.
Enhanced Dexterity: The Elder Brain has used wish spells to increase Shadowscar’s Dexterity. His Dexterity has a +5 inherent bonus included in its value.
Frightful Presence (Ex): Shadowscar can unsettle foes with his mere presence. This ability takes effect automatically whenever he attacks, charges, or flies overhead. Each creature within a radius of 330 feet that has less than 34 HD is subject to the effect. A potentially affected creature that succeeds on a Will save (DC 33) remains immune to Shadowscar’s frightful presence for 24 hours. On a failure, a creature with 4 or fewer HD becomes panicked for 4d6 rounds, and one with 5 or more HD becomes shaken for 4d6 rounds. A panicked creature takes a -2 morale penalty on saving throws and must flee. A shaken creature takes a - 2 morale penalty on attack rolls, checks, and saving throws. Shadowscar ignores the frightful presence of other dragons.
Spells: Shadowscar can cast spells as a 13th-level sorcerer.

Each Small or smaller creature within the swept area takes 2d6+18 points of bludgeoning damage (Reflex DC 34 half).
