A Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh! is a reptilian monster twenty feet long from its nose to the pointed end of its thick tail. It has scaly green skin irregularly tinged with yellow and blue, and a white-banded underbelly. A Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh! has only two legs, but those legs are extremely strong and end in wide-splayed feet tipped in huge claws. The most horrifying part of a Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh!, however, is its head. The head of one of these fearsome creatures is larger than its body and is capped with huge, curved yellow horns and a ridge of short brown fur. The teeth of a Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh! are each the length of a longsword, and are barely contained behind the creature’s large, blue, fish-like lips. A Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh! has floppy, elephantine ears and a confusing jumble of twenty-four eyes which can each look in different directions.An often-scoffed legend tells that the Legendary Black Beasts of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh! are the pets and playthings of a strange race of powerful Outsiders called the Tergil. The Tergil, also called the Animators, are said to control the Legendary Black Beasts of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh! from a distant plane. Should some strange fate befall an Animator, the story goes, the Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh! it controls dies.CombatThe battle tactics of a Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh! are simple and straightforward: Eat everything that moves.Frightful Presence (Su): When a Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh! roars and rolls its many eyes, creatures of less than 8 HD must succeed on a DC 24 Will save or be panicked. Creatures of more than 8 HD must succeed on a DC 24 Will save or be shaken. The save DC is Charisma based.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a the Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh! must hit an opponent up to one size smaller with its bite attack. It can then start a grapple check as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can try to swallow the foe whole the following round.Swallow Whole (Ex): The Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh! can try to swallow a Large or smaller opponent by making a successful grapple check. The swallowed creature takes 2d8+12 points of crushing damage per round plus 8points of acid damage from the Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh!’s gizzard. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using claws or a light slashing weapon to deal 25 points of damage to the gizzard (AC 20). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must again cut its own way out.The Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh!’s gizzard can hold one Large, two Medium, four Small, eight Tiny, sixteen Diminutive, or thirty-two Fine opponents.Vulnerability: During combat, the Animator controlling a Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh! must succeed on a DC 30 Fortitude save or the stress of melee causes it to suffer a fatal heart attack and die. (Animators have a Fortitude save of +16.) Should this happen, the Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh! fades out of existence.Skills: Because of its many eyes, Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh! receives a +10 racial bonus to Spot checks. It has all-around vision, and cannot be flanked.</blockquote>
