Combat
Remorhazes hide under the snow and ice until they hear movement above them, then attack from below and surprise prey.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the remorhaz must hit with its bite attack. If it gets a hold, it can attempt to swallow the opponent.
Swallow Whole (Ex): A remorhaz can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of Large or smaller size by making a successful grapple check. Once inside, the opponent takes 2d8+12 points of crushing damage plus 10d10 points of fire damage per round from the creature's flaming gizzard. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapong to deal 25 points of damage to the remorhaz's gizzard (AC 20). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. The remorhaz's interior can hold one Large, four Medium-size, sixteen Small, or sixty-four Tiny or smaller opponents.
Heat (Ex): An enraged remorhaz generates heat so intense that anything touching its body takes 10d10 points of fire damage. This is usually enough to melt nonmagical weapons, but magic weapons get a Fortitude save (DC 18).
Tremorsense (Ex): A remorhaz can automatically sense the location of anything within 60 feet that is in contact with the ground.
Skills: Remorhazes receive a +4 racial bonus to Listen checks.
