Ymir – d20PFSRD)

Alter Reality (Su)
Once per round as a free action Ymir can duplicate any spell of 15th-level or less. This ability can also duplicate any epic spells of DC 216 or less. Other use of this ability are GM’s discretion.
Bones of a New World (Su)
If Ymir is ever slain, its cosmic string apply, but the massive elemental creature’s corpse falls to the ground as the seed for new layers, perhaps even a world.
The Ymir-corpse left behind acts as the seed of 7 planar layers. If allowed to grow for a year or more, each of these seeds expand to form a new layer.
If Ymir is slain on the Material Plane, or one of the seed is moved into deep space somehow, that seed instead produces an Earth-like world with 1d4-1 moons and rich natural resources. The world establishes a stable orbit around a nearby star, or becomes a rogue exo-planet with Earth-like conditions, including a short day and long, chill night sustained by ambient magic.
Child of Two Worlds (Ex)
Ymir was generated when the flames of Múspellsheimr melted the ice of Niflheim and from their combination. It obtains both the Double Fire Portfolio and the Double Winter Portfolio at the same time without any of their weaknesses. Ymir is a truly ancient, primordial being and that give him a x6 hit points multiplier instead of x4 like standard Elder One. Ymir gains the Slipstream Cosmic Ability as a bonus ability.
Cosmic Might (Ex)
Ymir deals d20's for base damage dice of all melee, natural weapon, and unarmed attacks with virtual size categories, and its damage dice cannot go below this dice but this cannot increase to more dice than Ymir HD.
Fimbulwinter Aura (Su)
Ymir is surrounded with a blizzard in a 6.000 foot radius. Within this area, the snowfall and wind gusts cause a –24 penalty on Perception checks and ranged attacks and reduce range of vision to no more than 20 feet. The wind itself blows in a clockwise rotation around Ymir, and functions as blizzard (Core Rulebook 439). Ymir is unaffected by snowstorms or blizzards of any kind. All creatures in the area take 24d10 points of cold damage each round (Fort DC 138 half). A creature that dies in this aura is transformed into ice, and can only be restored to life with true resurrection or wish used by a greater deity that has 136 or higher caster level. Any effect that causes these winds to drop below severe (such as control weather or control winds) cancels the snowstorm effect entirely but require a caster level check against Ymir spell resistance. If Ymir lose its fimbulwinter aura can restart it by concentrating for 3 rounds. The save DC is Charisma based.
Freezing Rend (Su)
A creature that takes damage from Ymir’s rend must succeed a DC 138 Reflex save or become encased in ice. This ice functions as an icy prison spell with a caster level equal to 164th. The save DC is Charisma based.
Hurl Foe (Ex)
When Ymir damages a Titanic or smaller foe with one of its natural attacks, it can try to hurl the foe as part of that attack by attempting a combat maneuver check. On a successful check, the foe is knocked back 10 feet in a direction of Ymir’s choice and falls prone. The distance the foe is hurled increases by 10 feet for every 5 points by which Ymir’s check exceeds the foe’s CMD. If an obstacle stops the hurled creature before it travels the whole distance, the hurled foe and the obstacle struck each take 1d6 points of damage per 10 feet of distance remaining and the foe is knocked prone in the space adjacent to the obstacle.
Icewalking (Ex)
Ymir can move on icy or snow covered surfaces without penalty, and can climb icy surfaces as if affected by a spider climb spell.
Divine Traits (Elder One) (Ex)
As an elder one, Ymir gains a +24 divine bonus to: armor class; attack rolls; checks (ability checks, caster level checks, skill checks, etc.); difficulty class (for any special abilities, spell-like abilities, spells); initiative; saving throws and spell resistance. Ymir’s natural attacks or any weapons it wields, are treated as epic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. An elder one does not age, requires no air to breathe, no food or drink to sustain itself, nor sleep.
Massive (Ex)
Because Ymir is so massive, uneven ground and other terrain features that form difficult terrain generally pose no significant hindrance to its movement, though areas of dense forest or massive settlements are considered difficult terrain to Ymir (GM’s discretion). A Titanic or smaller creature can move through any square occupied by Ymir, or vice-versa. Ymir can be flanked only by Titanic or larger foes. Ymir gains a bonus for being on higher ground only if its entire space is on higher ground than that of its target. It’s possible for a Titanic or smaller creature to climb Ymir—this generally requires a successful DC equal to its CMD, and a Small or larger creature that climbs on Ymir body provokes an attack of opportunity from him.
Mythic (Ex)
Ymir has Mythic Power (24/day, Surge +8d6) and counts as a 24th-rank Mythic creature. Ymir can use any of its Alter Reality and spell-like abilities effect as the Mythic versions of those spells (if a Mythic version of that spell exists), expending Mythic Power as normal. Ymir can also expend Mythic Power to use the augmented versions of these spells.
Snow Sight (Ex)
Ymir’s vision is not impeded by inclement weather, either magical or mundane.
