Frost Worm

Creature 12 — animal, cold

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

The frost worm's single round, red eye gleams prominently at the head of its monstrous mass, white as a winter snowfall. What appears to be a bifurcated lower jaw is actually two spiky parapodia that the worm uses to shovel food into its lamprey-like mouth. An adult frost worm measures 35 feet long and weighs 8,000 pounds. A frost worm is an apex predator that uses camouflage, burrowing, and deceit to ambush its prey. When it attacks, a frost worm produces a distinctive, high-pitched trill. Tho

Abilities

Death Throes (cold, primal) — When a frost worm dies, it explodes in a 100-foot burst of searing cold blood. All creatures and objects in range take 10d8 cold damage (DC 29 Reflex save).
Freezing Blood (cold) —
Worm Chill (aura, cold, primal) — 5 feet. A creature that enters or begins its turn in the emanation takes 3d6 cold damage (DC 29 Reflex save).
Breath Weapon (cold, primal) — The frost worm exhales a blast of frost, dealing 13d6 cold damage to creatures in a 50-foot cone (DC 32 Reflex save). It can't use Breath Weapon again for 1d4 rounds.
Worm Trill (auditory, concentrate, mental, primal) — The frost worm emits a hypnotic trill. Each non-frost worm creature within 100 feet must attempt a DC 32 Will save. The effects of Worm Trill last for 1 round, but if the frost worm uses this ability again on subsequent rounds, it extends this duration by 1 round for any creature already affected. **Success** The creature is unaffected and is immune to Worm Trill for 24 hours. **Failure** The creature is Fascinated by the frost worm. **Critical Failure** As failure, but the fascinated condition doesn't end if the frost worm uses hostile actions against the creature.
