Description

Combat

Frost worms lurk under the snow, waiting for prey to come near. They begin their attack with trilling and then attack helpless prey with their bite.

Special Ability

Trill (Su): The frost worm can emit a noise that forces its prey to stand motionless. This sonic, mind affecting compulsion affects all creatures other than frost worms within a 100-foot spread. Creatures must succeed at a Will save (DC 17) or be stunned for as long as the worm trills, even if they are attacked. However, if attacked or violently shaken (a full-round action), a victim is allowed another saving throw. Once a creature has resisted or broken the effect, it cannot be affected again by that frost worm for one day. The effect's caster level is 14.

Special Ability

Cold (Ex): Frost worms' bodies generate intense cold, dealing 1d8 points of damage with their touch. Creatures attacking a frost worm unarmed or with natural weapons take cold damage each time their attacks hit.

Special Ability

Breath Weapon (Su): Cone of cold, 30 feet long, once per hour; damage 15d6, Reflex half DC 22. Opponents held motionless by the frost worm's trill get no saving throw.

Special Ability

Cold Subtype (Ex): Cold immunity; double damage from fire except on a successful save.

Special Ability

Death Throes (Ex): When killed, a frost worm turns to ice and shatters in an explosion that deals 12d6 points of cold damage and 8d6 points of piercing damage to everything within 100 feet (Reflex half DC 22).

Skills: *A frost worm, due to its coloration and its affinity for burying itself in the snow, receives a +10 racial bonus to Hide checks in its native environment.
