Somalcygot

A pair of mandibles surrounds the vertical, tooth-filled maw of this giant, multi-eyed flatworm. Four long antennae stretch from its face, twitching and flailing rapidly. Along its spiny, chitinous body emerge four tentacles, grasping in all directions.

Special Abilities

Acid Spray (Ex)

Every 1d4 rounds, a somalcygot can spit a 60-foot line of acid that deals 6d6 points of acid damage and an additional 3d6 points of acid damage the following round. A successful DC 26 Reflex save halves the initial damage and negates all ongoing damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Resistant Evolution (Su)

Somalcygots have evolved in the harsh, unforgiving vacuum of space and developed fortified resistances to the myriad threats found in their environment, granting them a +2 resistance bonus on all saving throws.

Ecology

Environment: Any Terrestrial Vacuum
Organization: solitary, pairs, or clutch (3-6)
Treasure: none


Somalcygots are incredibly territorial; each claims roughly a mile-radius patch of desolate lunar surface as its chosen hunting ground, and only enters another's territory to mate. In order to preserve energy between meals, a somalcygot enters a trancelike hibernation during which it burrows in circles beneath the moon's surface within its territory with unthinking repetition.

When it detects another creature nearby, the somalcygot awakens and enters a blood frenzy to capitalize on the rare meal, fighting relentlessly until the prey either is dead or escapes its territory. Only rarely do somalcygots pursue prey beyond the boundaries of their claimed hunting grounds, a behavior that serves both to preserve energy and to avoid needless conflict with other somalcygots that claim neighboring regions.

A typical adult somalcygot is 16 feet long and weighs 1,500 pounds.
