Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gromnar" data-source="post: 5859295" data-attributes="member: 6687226">This is the creature, as I've finished with it. Comments are welcome. The base creature was an otyugh, modified with new abilities and adding the corrupted creature template, finally with some tweaks. Note: The creature is facing a party of 3 level 13 gestalt characters, each of them with cohorts in a high leveled campaign. Spawn of TalonaSize/Type: Large AberrationHit Dice: 12d8 (180 hp)Initiative: +1Speed: 20 ft. (4 squares)Armor Class: 22 (-1 size, +1 Dex, +12 natural), touch 10, flat-footed 21Base Attack/Grapple: +9/+20Attack: Tentacle +15 melee (1d8) or Bite +16 (2d6)Full Attack: 2 tentacles +15 melee (1d8) and Bite +16 (2d6)Space/Reach: 10 ft./10 ft. (15 ft. with tentacle)Special Attacks: Disease, disruptive attack, improved grab, poison, swallow wholeSpecial Qualities: Damage Reduction 10/-, Darkvision 60 ft., dimensional rift, enhanced power, fast healing 6, tainted slime, Vulnerabilities, immune to acid, disease, poison, mind-effects, SR 22Saves: Fort +11, Ref +5, Will +9Abilities: Str 24, Dex 12, Con 25, Int 1, Wis 12, Cha 4Feats:Multiattack, Improved Multiattack, Weapon Focus (Bite)Environment: UniqueOrganization: NoneChallenge Rating:14Treasure: NoneAlignment: Chaotic Evil Dimensional Rift (Su) A medium or smaller creature that is swallowed by a Spawn of Talona enters a dimensional rift inside the creature. This rift can hold 3 medium sized or 6 small creatures. When inside the rift, any creatures and items are slowly transitioned across the planes. Creatures within the dimensional rift take 3d6 points of damage as the transition rips them apart. The transition takes two full rounds. At the end of the second round, the creature is deposited in Talona’s realm in the Barrens of Doom and Despair. If the Spawn of Talona is destroyed before the full transition takes place, the creature remains on the material plane and immediately appears in a space the Spawn of Talona was occupying. Disease (Ex) Talona's Touch—bite, tentacle, Fortitude DC 27, incubation period 1d6 rounds; damage 1d4 Constitution and 1d4 Charisma. The save DC is Constitution-based. Disruptive Attack (Su) The corrupt creature deals 6 vile damage when it touches uncorrupted, living, corporeal nonoutsiders.  Improved Grab (Ex) To use this ability, a Spawn of Talona 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 it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can swallow whole on the next round. Poison (Ex) Bebilith Venom—bite, tentacle, Fortitude DC 27, initial damage 1d6 Constitution, secondary damage 2d6 Constitution. The save DC is Constitution-based. Swallow Whole (Ex) A Spawn of Talona can try to swallow a grabbed Medium or smaller opponent by making a successful grapple check. Tainted Slime (Ex) A Spawn of Talona leaves a green slime wherever it goes. This slime is essentially part of the creature itself, left behind as it moves. All living creatures within 10 feet of a Spawn of Talona and those that enter a square that the Spawn has been in must succeed on a DC 27 Fortitude save or receive 1 point of taint. Creatures that remain within the range of the Spawn must continue to save against the taint each round. Previous squares that have this effect only contain the tainted slime for two rounds before it becomes unstable and turns into harmless ash. A creature immune to taint is immune to this ability.  Vulnerabilities (Ex) As a being made up of poison, disease, taint and vileness, a Spawn of Talona can be affected by any spell or ability that removes disease or taint and neutralizes poison. In such a case, the Spawn of Talona takes d10 damage, with a number of dice equal to the spell level of the spell cast, with no saving throw or spell resistance allowed. In addition, a Spawn of Talona suffers the same effects an undead creature would in the area of effect of a consecrate or unhallow spell.</blockquote>
