I will bow to the majority and go along with option #1.

Agreed.

So, are we making the "Body" a lot harder to damage than the "Maw", except when attacked from inside?

 

[Shade]

Agreed.

Yes. Probably heavy DR.

 

[Cleon]

Yes. Probably heavy DR.

So something like DR 15/--? That'd make attacking it from outside an unproductive exercise.

Yeah, that seems about right.

 

[Cleon]

Yeah, that seems about right.

Can you think of anything to base their stats on.

A Zaratan or Whale, perhaps?

We haven't even decided what Type these things are going to be.

Maybe some of the Colossal worms?

As for type, I was thinking Magical Beast.

They could be Aberrations I suppose.

But they're not.

But they're not.

So, Colossal 15 Hit Dice Magical Beast I suppose.

We're gonna need to boost those HD. Per the 3.5 Monster Manual, 24 HD is the minimum for a Colossal creature.

I suggest we boost it to at least 30 HD. The 40-foot fiendwurm has 24 HD, and the Gargantuan century worm has 40 HD, while this thing is 200 feet long!

For ability scores, we could probably upsize the Fiendwurm and Century Worm:

Fiendwurm: Str 36, Dex 13, Con 29, Int 7, Wis 14, Cha 8
Century Worm: Str 35, Dex 7, Con 22, Int -, Wis 11, Cha 2

I suggest: Str 44, Dex 7, Con 33, Int -, Wis 11, Cha 2
