Treasure incidentalSpecial AbilitiesEversible Pharynx (Ex) The king ragworm’s jaws sit deep within its throat. When making a bite attack, the ragworm turns its throat inside out and extends its jaws with surprising speed. This not only extends the ragworm’s reach with its bite attack, but it also gives it a +4 bonus on attack rolls with its bite during surprise rounds.
Poison (Ex) Slam or tail slap—injury; save Fort DC 25; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d4 Dex damage and 1d2 Con damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Vortex Attack (Ex) Three times per day as a standard action, king ragworm can undulate its body inside its burrow to create a vortex, drawing anything within a 15-foot cone toward the burrow’s entrance. Large and smaller creatures caught in this vortex must succeed at a DC 26 Reflex save or be pulled into the ragworm’s burrow, potentially provoking attacks of opportunity. Attacks of opportunity caused by this ability can’t be avoided with Acrobatics (though attacks of opportunity provoked in other ways, such as by moving out of one of the ragworm’s threatened squares, can be avoided as normal). The save DC is Dexterity-based.DescriptionThe giant king ragworm, found in the far depths of the ocean, is among the largest of the sea worms. It creates a slime-lined burrow in the ocean floor, where it resides most of the time.Creatures in "Sea Worm" CategoryThis enormous segmented worm shimmers with iridescent colors, and large bristles run along its sides.
