The save DCs are Charisma (?)-based. Each THING has a different effect for its prismatic burst attack, depending on its color.Red: The target takes 4d8 points of fire damage (Reflex half).Orange: The target takes 4d8 points of acid damage (Reflex half).Yellow: The target takes 4d8 points of electricity damage (Reflex half).Green: The target is knocked unconscious for 1d6 hours.  If the target succeeds on a Fortitude save, it instead takes 2d8 points of nonlethal damage.Blue: The target takes 2d4 points of Dexterity damage, or 1 point of Dexterity damage if it succeeds on a Fortitude save.  When the target reaches 0 Dexterity, it becomes petrified.Indigo: The target is affected as if by the confusion spell for 1-6 hours (Will negates).Violet: The target is teleported 1d10 *100 feet in a random direction (Will negates). Use a 1d8 to determine the direction, as if missing with a thrown weapon (see Combat section in the Player’s Handbook). If the target would appear in an object, it instead appears next to the objects and takes 4d8 points of damage (no saving throw).3.made a slight variation on the fhorge’s Worry attack:Gnash (Ex): On a successful grapple check, a THING shakes the victim back and forth.  This attack deals automatic bite damage each round until the victim breaks free, the THING is slain, or the victim dies.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a THING 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 gnash its opponent.AND moving along, a few new ones:9.this one is from the Testament book, which has something called the “trait of Piety”.  I really don’t know what that is exactly, but I need to replace it in the following ability.  Maybe make the determiner alignment-based, or even based on the diety’s alignment?Celestial Song (Su): When incubating an egg, the THING sings a beautiful song to its offspring. The sound of the song cures 1 hit point of damage per round to anyone within 120-ft. radius who has a positive Piety modifier and causes 1 point of damage per round to anyone with a negative Piety modifier if he fails a Peity check (DC 25).10.that monster includes a magic item, check it out:THING EggThe egg of a THING is a powerful natural magic item. A THING egg takes six years to hatch, and until the day of its hatching, as long as the egg is properly cared for, anyone holding the egg can perform a control water spell up to three times per day, cast as a 30th level cleric.If a THING egg is cracked open before its time, it floods a territory with foul liquid. It pours out a torrent of 4,000 cubic feet of liquid per round. Anyone who deliberately breaks a THING egg angers all THING permanently, resulting in a lifetime of being menaced by both natural and magical birds.A shard of a THING egg shell that breaks naturally at hatching gives the bearer a +1 bonus to the difficulty class of saves made against his spells involving birds. Each shell produces 2d12 such fragments.Caster Level 30th; Prerequisites: N/A; Market Price: 70,000 gp.

A THING is capable of flight from the moment of hatching, and leaves its nest as soon as it is born, never looking back.

THING is fiercely protective of his charge; he’ll kill anyone he perceives as threatening his trees. THING is a proud and haughty warrior, given to insulting his enemies before he destroys them. He shows no mercy to those who threaten his trees, but he cowers in fear if he realizes that an enemy actually might be able to kill him.THING has the paws of a lion, and a body covered with tough, horned scales. His feet have the claws of a vulture, his head has the horns of a wild bull, and his tail and penis each have a snake’s head on their end. He’s described as having a face like coiled intestines. THING’s Charisma does not represent his personal appearance.</blockquote>
