Capable of swallowing even large prey in one piece, they are feared among the aquatic races.The vurgens has a serpentile body and tail, with the sides covered in spikes. The jaws of a vurgens, which are only boby plates intended to capture prey, can be unhinged to allow swallowing of large creatures. The tails end in a clump of spikes, usable for striking opponents. The eyes of the creature are of a simple, deep black, while the body can be any color from brown, olive, rust-red, white and purple. They are always spotted in differing shades of their primary color.CombatA vurgens always tries to swallow its prey as fast as possible, using its tail only against exceptionally tough opponents.Improved Grab (Ex): If a vurgens hits an opponent that is at least one size category smaller than itself with a bite attack, it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity (grapple bonus +21). If it gets a hold, it can try to swallow on the next round. Alternatively, the vurgens has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use its jaws to hold the opponent (-20 penalty on grapple check, but the vurgens is not considered grappled). In either case, each successful grapple check it makes during successful rounds automatically deals bite damage.Paralysis (Ex): Any creature that is swallowed whole (see below) must make a Fortitude save (DC 18) as soon as it is swallowed, or be paralysed for 2d6 rounds. A creature that succeeds at this save is immune to the paralysis of this particular vurgens for 24 hours.Swallow Whole (Ex): A vurgens can swallow a single creature that is at least one size category smaller than itself by making a successful grapple check (grapple bonus +21), provided it already has that opponent in its mouth (see Improved Grab, above). Once inside the vurgens, after the opponent has conducted the save against the vurgens’ paralysis effect, the opponen takes 1d8+8 points of bludgeoning damage plus 1d8+3 points of acid damage per round in the vurgens’ gullet.A successful grapple check allows the swallowed creature to climb out of the gullet and return into the vurgens’ maw, where another successful grapple check is needed to get free. Alternatively, a swallowed creature can try to cut its way out with either claws or a light piercing or slashing weapon. Dealing at least 15 points of damage to the gullet (AC 16) in this way creates an opening large enough to permit escape. Once a single swallowed creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; thus, another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. A vurgens’ gullet can hold 2 Large, 8 Medium-Size, 32 Small, or 128 Tiny or smaller opponents.Spikes (Ex): Whenever a creature hits a vurgens with a natural weapon or an unarmed attack, it must make an Reflex save (DC 14) or suffer 1d4 points of damage. Creatures grappling a vurgens take 3d4 points of damage each time they make a grapple check, except for those creatures struggling against being swallowed.</blockquote>
