SPECIAL ABILITIES

Camouflage (Ex)

A mythic aghasura can use Stealth to hide in any sort of natural terrain, even if the terrain does not grant cover or concealment.

Hallucinatory Digestion (Su)

A creature swallowed by a mythic aghasura is plunged into a delusional hallucination (DC 21 Will negates), taking no actions on its turn as it believes that it is continuing to perform whatever actions it was doing before it was swallowed. The target is allowed a new Will save at the start of its turn each round it remains swallowed to end the effect and resume acting normally. This is a mind-affecting illusion effect.

Lurking Landscape (Su)

A mythic aghasura can expend one use of mythic power to cast mirage arcana (DC 21) with its caster level being equal to its Hit Dice. Creatures within the mirage arcana gain a +4 bonus on saving throws against divinations, and caster level checks made to cast divinations or to dispel the mirage arcana take a -4 penalty. In addition, the mythic aghasura gains a +20 bonus on Stealth checks made to hide in any such modified terrain.

Mountain Form (Su)

A mythic aghasura can expend two uses of mythic power to increase its size to Gargantuan. It gains a +4 size bonus to Strength, and takes a –4 size penalty to Dexterity and a –2 penalty on attack rolls and to AC because of its increased size. This size increase lasts for a number of minutes equal to the mythic aghasura’s Hit Dice; it can switch between its normal size and this Gargantuan size as a move action, but each round spent at its normal form causes 1 minute of the effect’s remaining duration to elapse.

ECOLOGY

Environment any (Hell)
Organization solitary or troop (2-9)
Treasure standard (masterwork breastplate, 2 masterwork scimitars, other treasure)

This immense creature looks like a horned rattlesnake, save for its two muscular arms, each of which wields a scimitar.

Aghasuras, or the poison ones, are massive fiends who have perfected the art of ambush and hold to duties of guardianship and butchery.

It is said that these frightful ophidian monsters came into being when a deity granted free will to her favorite serpent pets, but when these pets were left to their own devices, they slipped into the deity’s favored temple and slew all her greatest priests. The serpents who survived the deity’s wrath became the first aghasuras. An aghasura is 30 feet long and weighs nearly 7 tons.
