Yeah, I was just recapping. 
I'm glad he's got spell resistance, too.
Here's a stab at a few of the abilities:
Crush (Ex): H’Calos can land on opponents three or more size categories smaller than itself as a full-round action, using its whole body to crush them. A crush attack affects as many creatures as can fit under H’Calos's body. Each creature in the affected area must succeed at a Reflex save (DC X) or be pinned, automatically taking X points of bludgeoning damage. Thereafter, if H’Calos chooses to maintain the pin, treat it as a normal grapple attack (grapple bonus +40). While pinned, the opponent takes crush damage each round.
[I made it a full-round action rather than standard, since crush is usually for flying creatures, and H'Calos actually has to rear up.]
Frightful Presence (Ex): Whenever H’Calos attacks or charges, each creature in a X-foot radius that has fewer HD than it does must make a DC X Will save. Failure indicates that the creature is panicked for 4d6 rounds (if it has 4 or fewer HD) or shaken for 4d6 rounds (if it has 5 or more HD).
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, H’Calos must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If H’Calos wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can rake with its front claws and can attempt to swallow the foe the following round.
Swallow Whole (Ex): H’Calos can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of a smaller size than itself by making a successful grapple check. Once inside, the opponent takes X points of crushing damage plus 2d8 points of acid damage per round from H’Calos's gizzard. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 25 points of damage to the gizzard (AC 10 + 1/2 its natural armor bonus, with no modifiers for size or Dexterity). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. H’Calos's interior can hold X Gargantuan, X Huge, X Large, X Medium, X Small, X Tiny, or X Diminutive or smaller opponents.
