Paragon creatures also gain an additional 12 hit points per HD. Speed: A paragon creature’s speed triples, for all movement types. AC: Paragon creatures gain a +12 insight bonus to AC and a +12 luck bonus to AC. They also gain a +5 natural armor bonus (if the creature already has natural armor, use whichever is better). Attacks: A paragon creature makes all its attacks with a +25 luck bonus on the attack roll. Damage: A paragon creature gains a +20 luck bonus on Damage rolls for all melee and thrown ranged attacks. Special Attacks: A paragon creature’s special attacks, if any, all gain a +13 insight bonus, if applicable. The +13 insight bonus may only be applied to a given special ability once. Spell-Like Abilities (Sp) or Psionics (Sp): If the base creature has spell-like abilities, it gains +15 to its caster level to use those abilities. A paragon creature also gains the ability to use greater dispel magic, haste, and see invisibility three times per day, even if it did not have spell-like abilities before, at 15th caster level. Special Qualities: A paragon creature retains all the special qualities of the base creature and also gains the following. • Fire and cold resistance 10. If the creature already possesses such resistance, use whichever is better. • Damage reduction 10/epic. If the creature already possesses Damage reduction, use whichever is better. • Spell resistance equal to the paragon creature’s CR +25. If the creature already possesses spell resistance, use whichever is higher. • Fast healing 20. If the creature already possesses fast healing, use whichever is better. • A paragon creature’s natural weapons are treated as epic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.Saves: The paragon creature gains a +10 insight bonus on all its saving throws.

Special Attacks: A pseudonatural creature retains all the special attacks of the base creature and also gains the following. Constant Insight (Su): The creature makes all its attacks with a +15 insight bonus. The creature is not affected by the miss chance that applies to attacks against a concealed target. Improved Grab (Ex): If the creature hits an opponent smaller than it with a tentacle, it deals normal Damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. Rotting Constriction (Ex): Once the creature has hold of an opponent, each successful grapple check it makes during subsequent rounds permanently drains 2d4 points of Constitution. At the same time, the creature regains 10 lost hit points. Spell-Like Abilities: At will—blur, dimension door, shield, unhallow. Caster level 20th.  The DCs are Charisma-based.Special Qualities: A pseudonatural creature retains all the special qualities of the base creature and also gains the following. • Electricity and acid resistance of a varying amount related to its Hit Dice (see the table below).
