#### special abilities
### Carapace Defense (Ex)
In times of dire need, Ityak-Ortheel can retreat into its shell, effectively shielding its body from further attacks. Ityak-Ortheel's carapace is nearly indestructible, it has a damage reduction of 50/epic and good, and is immune to fire.
### Maw of Destruction (Ex)
While it cannot effectively bite with its huge, toothy maw, the Elf Eater can transfer grappled creatures to it with its tentacles. Any creature that falls unconscious or dies while grappled by the Elf Eater is automatically transferred to its mouth at the beginning of its next turn. Once inside its maw, the creature is utterly destroyed by the acidic juices within as if it had been successfully targeted with a destruction spell.
### Sense Life (Ex)
Although Ityak-Ortheel's blindsight extends only to 100 feet, it can sense all living beings within a radius of five miles, and it can instantly differentiate sentience and race (which allows it to hunt down the elves whom it hates so much).
### Tentacle Grappling (Ex)
Ityak-Ortheel the Elf Eater is a monstrous creature with forty tentacles flailing out around its body. It can attack with all of them in a single round as a full round action, but only eight tentacles can attack a single target. It can use its improved grab ability on a Large or smaller creature as long as it hits the creature with a single tentacle. It must hit with at least two tentacles to in order to use improved grab on a Huge creature, four tentacles to grab a Gargantuan creature, and all eight to attempt an improved grab on a Colossal creature. It must use this many tentacles to maintain its hold or initiate a normal grapple as well. A grappled creature can attempt to break free of the Elf Eater normally, or it can try to cut its way out of the tentacles. Each tentacle has 15 hit points and an AC of 23, and if the creature manages to sever all of the tentacles grappling it, it falls to the ground (taking 1d6 points of falling damage in the process). Severed tentacles grow back at the rate of one per round. If a creature attempts to escape the tentacles normally, it must contend with the sheer number of grasping limbs. The Elf Eater's tentacles grapple as the largest size of creature it could grapple with the number of tentacles being used. For example, if it is grappling with a single tentacle it grapples as a Large creature, but if it has four tentacles attached it grapples as a Gargantuan creature.
