Any spell that fails to overcome a uggoth's spell resistance is reflected back on the caster who becomes the target of the spell. Area spells still affect the area around the uggoth, but the portion that would affect it is reflected back on the caster.Tentacles (Ex)
A uggoth's tentacles are always primary attacks for the creature.Ecology

Uggoths are subterranean creatures once bent on destruction and expanding their own realm from the underworld to the surface world. Legends say the uggoth race was formed when a band of ancient humans offended their gods and were forever cursed. Scholars cannot verify or disprove this origin myth.
Uggoths dwell in great underground cities, most of which are built and maintained by slave labor. Once an ambitious race with desires to rule both underground and aboveground, uggoths now spend most of their time lounging in their homes or in public places within the uggoth cities partaking of various dream-inducing narcotics. They are still very active in trade, usually trading with other evil-aligned subterranean races. In exchange for various foods, manufactured weapons, and spices, the uggoth receive slaves, exotic herbs, and the like.
Uggoths stand between 6 and 7 feet tall and weigh 160 to 180 pounds. Their humanoid flesh is dark amber and leathery to the touch. Their lower torsos are even darker amber fading to black near the tips of the tentacles. Uggoths live for 150 years typically.
A uggoth attack with its mind thrust attack in an effort to dispatch its enemies as quickly and efficiently as possible. Creatures that survive are attacked with various spell-like abilities and slashed or grabbed by the creature's tentacles. Opponents that are killed are usually devoured on the spot or carried back to the uggoth's dwelling and eaten later or fed to the young. Opponents that show promise as slaves are captured instead of killed. Potential slaves are carted back to the uggoth's city and placed in a public slave pen where they are eventually sold to the highest bidder. Occasionally the city's overseer allows the uggoth to keep captured slaves.
