Message: <blockquote data-quote="Buugipopuu" data-source="post: 5786081" data-attributes="member: 41173">Decided to fill out the Aberration slot.  Holashner is from Lords of Madness, and is some kind of horrible centipede squid that burrows through the ground leaving explosive mucus behind, sort-of worshipped by the Aboleths.  It takes the form of a Titanic eyeless centipede with tentacles ringing its mandibles, and its appearance has been linked with earthquakes.I decided that if Abominations were DvR 4 effectively, Elder Evils should be a step above that.  It might be too weak, but it depends on how well the opponent is equipped to fight a burrowing foe.Holashner, The Hunger Below (Elder Evil Paragon Phrenic Awakened Devastation Centipede/Squid)[SBLOCK]Size/Type: Titanic Aberration (3 VSCs, Earth)Hit Dice: 256d20+6,144 plus 3,072 plus 3 (14,339 hp)Initiative: +48 (+34 dex, +6 divine, +8 feat), Sixth SenseSpeed: 720 ft., Burrow 720 ft.Armour Class: 155 (-16 size, +34 Dex, +76 natural, +12 luck, +12 insight, +6 divine, +15 deflection, +6 dodge), 79 touch, 115 flat-footedBase Attack/Grapple: +192/+337Attack: Bite +305 melee (120d10+88 plus 64d6 acid plus poison, 18-20/x3)Full Attack: Bite +305 melee (120d10+88 plus 64d6 acid plus poison, 18-20/x3) and 10 tentacles +305 melee (8d6+43, 18-20/x3)Space/Reach: 50 ft./40 ft.

It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict. Holashner has a +4 racial bonus on grapple checks.Swallow Whole (Ex)Holashner can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of Gargantuan or smaller size by making a successful grapple check.  When it successfully swallows an opponent, it deals automatic bite damage to it. Once inside, the opponent takes 8d6+101 points of crushing damage plus 10d10+58 points of acid damage, 10d10+58 points of fire damage, 2d4 points of Constitution drain and 1d12 points of Wisdom drain per round and is coated in Black Bile of the World.  Holashner recovers 5 hitpoints every time it drains Wisdom as normal, and 10 hitpoints each time it drains Constitution. A swallowed creature must contend with the crushing pressure and sticky bile filling Holashner's gullet.  They take a -8 circumstance penalty on all Strength and Dexterity-based checks.  A swallowed creature can cut its way out by dealing 356 points of damage (280 size +64 con +12 paragon) to the Holashner's digestive tract (AC 43). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. Holashner’s gullet can hold 2 Gargantuan, 8 Huge, 32 Large, 128 Medium, or 512 Small or smaller creatures.  A creature reduced to 0 or fewer hitpoints by damage sustained while being swallowed whole is disintegrated, its body converted entirely to Black Bile of the WorldBlack Bile of the World (Su)Holashner leave behind a runny, tar like substance known as the Black Bile of the World when it moves.  Any non-aberration creature passing within 30 feet of a square covered in this substance takes a -4 penalty on saving throws against mind-affecting spells and abilities and on all Wisdom checks and Wisdom-based skill checks.  In addition, squares so coated are sticky, and count as difficult terrain for all creatures other than Holashner.  This also affects any creature trying to burrow through a layer of the bile.  If exposed to air, it burns violently, dealing 8d6+13 acidfire damage per round to creatures in coated squares, who must also risk catching on fire.  A reflex save, (DC 15) halves the fire damage and negates the On Fire status.  A creature that is coated in bile (such as by falling prone in a coated square) suffers double the normal penalty on saving throws and is not allowed a save to avoid the damage from the burning, and takes a -2 circumstance penalty on strength and dexterity based checks.  A creature coated in bile may spend a full-round action scraping it off.Holashner is permanently coated in this bile, and any creature grappling with it takes damage as if it were standing in a coated square, and must make a reflex save (DC 184, constitution-based) or become coated with the substance.  Due to the sticky quality of the bile, Holashner receives a +8 circumstance bonus on grapple checks, and the DC of Escape Artist checks required to escape a grapple increases by +8.The Hunger Below (Su)While Holashner does not need to eat, it feels the desire to consume continuously, and is somehow capable of metabolising nearly any matter (other than substances its acid is incapable of dissolving, and Black Bile of the World).  For every 5 foot cubes of earth, or equivalent amount of other matter consumed by Holashner, it recovers 5 hitpoints, gaining any extra as temporary hp.  Its temporary hp cannot exceed its normal maximum hp, and these temporary hp fade after one hour.  While burrowing, Holashner typically consumes 16 5 foot cubes of whatever it is burrowing through for every five feet it moves, usually recovering 80 hitpoints.  Any creature reduced to zero hitpoints after being swallowed whole causes Holashner to regain hitpoints dependant on their effective size after Virtual Size is taken into account.  Small and smaller creatures provide no sustenance.  Medium creatures cause it to regain one hitpoint.  Large creatures cause it to regain five hitpoints, and larger creatures multiply the regained hitpoints by 8 for every size and virtual size category they possess beyond Large.[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
