[QUOTE="Craer, post: 198126, member: 435"] Being that I'm in the midst of creating my own campaign world, I thougt I'd share with you fine folks one of the more fearsome examples of native fauna. The monster is based off of the Bug at the end of the movie "Men In Black". If I've incorrectly done the saves or attacks, please tell me. Otherwise, I'd appreciate coments. Thanks! (Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this.) Sczaracen Large Aberration Hit Dice: 10d8+30 (70 hp) Initiative: +8 Speed: 40 ft., burrow 30 ft., Climb 20 ft.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the sczaracen must hit with its bite attack. If it gets a hold, it deals automatic bite damage each round the hold is maintained. Swallow Whole (Ex): A Sczaracen can unhinge it’s jaw and swallow creatures that normally would not fit in it’s mouth, often storing them in it’s stomach for days at a time, slowly digesting them. After succeeding at an Improved Grab check, an opposing strength check must be made. If the check is successful, the Sczaracen has swallowed the victim. A Sczaracen may hold up to 1 medium creature in its stomach, 2 small, 4 tiny, or 16 fine creatures at once. Swallowed creatures take 1d6 acid damage and 1d6 bludgeoning damage per round. A creature may cut itself free with a small piercing or slashing weapon by dealing 15 points of damage to the stomach lining, AC 14. After cutting an opening, muscular action closes the hole, forcing another swallowed creature to cut another hole out. Tremorsense (Ex): Sczaracen can automatically sense the location of anything within 60 feet that is in contact with the ground. Hive Mind (Su): If two or more Sczaracen are within 30 feet of each other, they know exactly where the others are, and none may be flanked if there is at least one Sczaracen who is not flanked. This ability is active at all times. [/QUOTE]
