It has four saurian legs that each end in a single massive talon. An incredibly long, whiplike stinger thrashes atop the beast, and what must be its head consists of three tentacles that peel back to expose inner surfaces covered with hundreds of sharklike teeth and a gaping circular maw. Arcs of electricity dance over the monster’s pale blue and white skin, and three huge yellow eyes glare from above its mouth.* <div class="grid-container"><div class="MON">Zeugalak</div> <div class="CR">CR 12 (19,200 XP)</div> <div class="SOU">Lords of Madness pg. 171</div> <div class="SYS">Dungeons & Dragons 3.5</div></div> CN Huge Aberration **Init** +3 **Senses** darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision; **Perception** +4 #### defense **AC** 25, 11 touch, 22 flat-footed (+3 Dex, +14 natural, -2 size) **hp** 200 (16d8+128) **Fort** +13, **Refl** +10, **Will** +16 **Feint** 26, **Demoralize** 30 **Defensive Abilities** electricity affinity, feather fall **SR** 23 **Immune** poison #### offense **Speed** 30 ft., climb 30 ft. **Melee** 3 tentacles +19 (1d8+9 plus 1d6 electricity/19-20/x3), 2 claws +19 (1d8+9 plus 1d6 electricity and grab), sting +17 (1d8+4 plus 1d6 electricity plus poison) **Space** 15 ft., **Reach** 10 ft.

Any creature that successfully strikes a zeugalak with a melee weapon or natural weapon takes 1d6 points of electricity damage. ### Effortless Grapple (Ex) A zeugalak does not gain the grappled condition while grappling with its claws. ### Electrical Affinity (Su) A zeugalak takes no damage from electricity. Instead, any electricity attack used against a zeugalak temporarily grants it 1d4 points of Dexterity. The zeugalak loses these points at the rate of 1 per hour. A zeugalak cannot use its own abilities to raise its Dexterity. ### Electrical Teleportation (Su) If a zeugalak is within the area of effect of a spell or ability that deals electricity damage, a zeugalak can teleport anywhere within the area of effect as an immediate action. ### Feather Fall (Su) A zeugalak never falls further than 60 feet unless it chooses to. ### Poison (Ex) Sting—injury; *save* Fort DC 26; *frequency* 1/round for 6 rounds; *effect* 1d3 Strength; *cure* 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Constitution-based. #### tactics A zeugalak is fond of initiating combat with a charge attack, although it also uses feather fall to drop down on targets from high ledges. Once in melee, the creature splits its attacks among all targets in reach, using its Combat Reflexes and the incredible reach of its stinger to disrupt spellcasters and any attempts to fl ank it. It uses its breath weapon against those who try to stay out of its melee reach. #### ecology **Terrain** Warm mountains **Organization** Solitary or pair **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 17–20 HD (Huge); 21–40 HD (Gargantuan); 41–48 HD (Colossal) The dreaded zeugalak is a dangerous predator found on the lower slopes of rugged mountains in tropical regions, although it has been encountered in large underground regions as well. A zeugalak isn’t particularly intelligent, but it is nonetheless a patient and observant monster that defends its chosen territory quite fiercely. A zeugalak is a nocturnal creature, although sunlight doesn’t impede its sensitive eyesight. Zeugalaks are especially active during thunderstorms, and cavort atop mountain peaks during such weather. Their terrible bellows of delight when they are struck by bolts of lightning can carry for miles. When struck, they use their electrical teleportation ability to teleport high into the clouds above so they can enjoy the long feather fall back to the ground below through the surrounding storm. A zeugalak is about 26 feet long and weighs about 22,000 pounds.
