Alter Reality (Su)
Once per round as a free action Níðhöggr can duplicate any spell of 14th-level or less. This ability can also duplicate any epic spells of DC 414 or less. Other use of this ability are GM’s discretion.
Armor of Scales (Ex)
Níðhöggr has an outer layer of scales to protect it from blows that is constantly renewed. This outer layer has 70,912 hp (10% its maximum hp) and regenerate 1,000 hp every round the regeneration of Níðhöggr is active. The damage reduction of Níðhöggr does not apply to this outer layer.
Breath Weapon (Su)
Níðhöggr breath weapon is a corrosive poisonous acid soaked with cosmic energy. Half the breath weapon damage is acid while the other half is cosmic damage. A creature that take at least 1 damage from this breath weapon is also exposed to the poison of Níðhöggr.
Cleaving Attacks (Ex)
A single attack from one of Níðhöggr’s natural weapons can target all creatures in a 60-foot square. Make one attack roll; any creature in the area whose AC is equal to or lower than the result takes damage from the attack. Níðhöggr can attempt a combat maneuver check to grapple all creatures hits with a bite or gore (see impaling horn) attack, making a single check and applying it against the CMD of all targets. If Níðhöggr grapples a creature of Macro-Diminutive size or smaller, it does not gain the grappled condition and does not need to succeed at a grapple combat maneuver check to move while maintaining its grapple. Níðhöggr can grapple with its bite any number of creatures of Macro-Diminutive size or smaller simultaneously and make a single combat maneuver as a free action at the start of its turn for maintain the grapple on them, applying its result against the CMD of those targets.
Consume the Roots (Ex)
Millions of years of gnawing at the roots of Yggdrasil, the First One of life, has infused Níðhöggr with a terrifying vitality. It gains a x8 multiplier to its maximum hit points.
Cosmic Might (Ex)
Níðhöggr deals d20's for base damage dice of all melee, natural weapon, and unarmed attacks with virtual size categories, and its damage dice cannot go below this dice but this cannot increase to more dice than its HD.
Death Curse (Su)
When Níðhöggr is slay (even if not permanently, see Transmortality), it curse its killer with a corrupting influence. The creature must make a Will save DC 357 for resist it. If the creature fail, nothing happens, at least visually, and all effects that detect curses must make a caster level check against Níðhöggr's SR or reveal nothing. A creature is unaware of making this check. From now on, whenever the creature has an opportunity to perform an evil deed that would go unpunished (DM's discretion), he must repeat the saving throw or make the action. However, the creature would not perform evil deeds that would be harmful or counterproductive to his purposes. After performing enough evil deeds (DM's discretion), his alignment will likely shift to evil and possibly fall from his position if good was an intrinsic thing to his existence (eg: a falling LG angel becomes a LE devil). The only way to remove this curse is a
wish made by an Old One or more powerful creature with Double Good Portfolio. The save DC is Charisma-based and include a +100 racial bonus.
Divine Traits (Adamic Dragon) (Ex)
While is not a “true” adamic dragon, Níðhöggr possess a lot of common traits with them. It gains a +32 cosmic bonus to: armor class; attack rolls; checks (ability checks, caster level checks, skill checks, etc.); difficulty class (for any special abilities, spell-like abilities, spells); initiative; saving throws and spell resistance. Níðhöggr’s natural attacks or any weapons it wields, are treated as epic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Níðhöggr does not age, requires no air to breathe, no food or drink to sustain itself, nor sleep.
Draconic Fortitude (Ex)
If damage reduces Níðhöggr to 0 hit points, it can make a Fortitude saving throw against a DC of 10 + ½ opponents HD + opponent Charisma modifier + opponent DR (or the CR of the hazard for damage not originated by creatures). On a success, Níðhöggr drops to 1 hit point instead.
Eater of Souls (Su)
Níðhöggr is blocked by Yggdrasil root of Niflheim, where it lives by feeding on evil souls. Its bite attack gains the ghost touch property. Incorporeal creatures can be grappled by Níðhöggr with its bite and swallowed. Also, the grab special attack of Níðhöggr ignore freedom of movement and similar abilities (like the Eternal Freedom Divine Ability) of incorporeal creatures. Finally, its bite attack gains the mighty disruption property with a Fortitude save DC of 257 instead of 21. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Grant Spells
Níðhöggr can grant spells of any level. It grant access to the domains of Air, Death, Destruction, Earth, Erosion, Evil, and Skalykind and to the subdomains of Catastrophe, Caves, Corruption, Dragon, Venom, and Wind.
Hurl Foe (Ex)
When Níðhöggr damages a Macro-Diminutive or smaller foe with one of its natural attacks, it can try to hurl the foe as part of that attack by attempting a combat maneuver check. On a successful check, the foe is knocked back 300 feet in a direction of Níðhöggr choice and falls prone. The distance the foe is hurled increases by 5 feet for every 5 points by which Níðhöggr check exceeds the foe’s CMD. If an obstacle stops the hurled creature before it travels the whole distance, the hurled foe and the obstacle struck each take 1d6 points of damage per 10 feet of distance remaining and the foe is knocked prone in the space adjacent to the obstacle.
Impaling Horn (Ex)
Níðhöggr’s immense horns can fully impale a creature that is two or more size categories smaller than itself (a Macro-Diminutive or smaller creature). This ability effectively adds the grab universal monster ability to Níðhöggr’s gore attack against such a creature, but if Níðhöggr successfully “grabs” a foe in this manner by impaling it on the horn, it does not gain the grappled condition. An impaled creature gains the grappled condition, takes 30d10 points of bleed damage, and automatically takes damage from Níðhöggr’s gore each round it remains pinned. Níðhöggr’s options while grappling a foe in this way are limited—it can either move while grappling the foe, or it can whip its head and attempt to fling at the same time all the foes as if using the Awesome Blow feat on all of them (the damage dealt by this is equal to its gore damage; roll one time and apply the result to all of them). Níðhöggr can impale at the same time 256 Medium or smaller creatures. A Large creature counts as two Medium creatures, a Huge creature counts as two Large creatures, and so forth.
Massive (Ex)
Because Níðhöggr is so massive, uneven ground and other terrain features that form difficult terrain generally pose no significant hindrance to its movement, though areas of dense forest or massive settlements are considered difficult terrain to Níðhöggr (GM’s discretion). A Macro-Diminutive or smaller creature can move through any square occupied by Níðhöggr, or vice-versa. Níðhöggr can be flanked only by Macro-Diminutive or larger foes. Níðhöggr gains a bonus for being on higher ground only if her entire space is on higher ground than that of its target. It’s possible for a Macro-Diminutive or smaller creature to climb Níðhöggr—this generally requires a successful DC equal to its CMD, and a Small or larger creature that climbs on Níðhöggr body provokes an attack of opportunity from it.
Mythic (Ex)
Níðhöggr has Mythic Power (32/day, Surge +20d6) and counts as a 32th-rank Mythic creature. Níðhöggr can use any of its Alter Reality and spell-like abilities effect as the Mythic versions of those spells (if a Mythic version of that spell exists), expending Mythic Power as normal. It can also expend Mythic Power to use the augmented versions of these spells.
Overwhelming presence (Ex)
Níðhöggr frightful presence extends to 7,680 ft. All creatures failing their saves die of fright, those who successfully save are treated as shaken (but with a -4 morale penalty to rolls) for 8d6 rounds unless wholly immune to fear.
Perpetual Renewal (Ex)
Níðhöggr body continually regrows itself. The duration of any spell or effect that causes to be blinded, dazed, deafened, diseased, exhausted, fatigued, nauseated, poisoned, sickened, staggered, or stunned can never have a duration of longer than 1 round. Any ability damage or drain or negative level Níðhöggr receives is automatically healed at a rate of 10d6 levels and points per round per ability. While at full hit points, any effect that would instantly kill Níðhöggr outright or reduce it to 0 or less hit points from full, merely reduce Níðhöggr to half hit points.
Poison (Ex)
Bite, breath weapon, or swallow whole—injury;
save Fort DC 358;
frequency 1/round for 32 days;
effect 10d20 acid and 1d4 drain all ability scores,
cure 32 consecutive saves. This poison overcome immunity to poison, fortitude save and ability drain of creatures with lesser power of a Demiurge. Magical means for remove the poison or cure the drain while the poison is still present require the user to succeed a caster level check against Níðhöggr' spell resistance or the effect (which can also be a supernatural, all effects must check) backfire and immediately activate the poison effect as if the creature had failed a Fortitude save.
Reminder of the End (Ex)
Níðhöggr represents the evil of the Norse pantheon eroding the World Tree. It constant chewing on the Tree roots is a constant reminder of the inherent evil eroding the world. Níðhöggr convert any vile damage and permanent damage it suffer in normal damage.
Spiritsense (Su)
Níðhöggr notices and locates creatures with a soul within 10 miles, just as if it had the blindsight ability. It can also distinguish between construct, living, or undead creatures with a soul in this area.
Swallow Whole (Ex)
Níðhöggr can only use the swallow whole ability on creature grappled with its bite. Swallowed creatures are exposed to the poison of Níðhöggr every round they remain inside its belly. Swallowed incorporeal creatures must escape like corporeal creatures, they cannot pass through the corpse of Níðhöggr and suffer the damage of the stomach and the poison despite being normally immune. Níðhöggr can have swallowed at the same time any number of creatures as long their total space is equal or lesser than its space. Also, if a creature that is swallowed whole by Níðhöggr manages to escape by cutting itself free, Níðhöggr’s muscles simply seals over the hole created so that other swallowed creatures must cut their own way out.
Tail Sweep (Ex)
Níðhöggr can sweep with its tail as a standard action, affecting 2,000 feet-radius half-circle extending from an intersection on the edge of its space. Titanic or smaller creatures and objects in the area take 30d20+73 points of damage (DC 251 Reflex half). Creatures that fail the save are also pushed back 500 ft. and knocked prone. A successful save half the damage and negate both the push back and prone. The save DC is Strength-based.
Transmortality (Ex)
Níðhöggr is destined to survive the Ragnarök and to fly once it has concluded above the devastated battlefield. It cannot be permanently destroyed, even by those of higher divine rank: if slay, it simply reform over 1d10 rounds. This version of Transmortality, unlike the normal Transcendental version, do not require quintessence/Constitution, thus cannot be negate with Siphoning or Withering and can only be abrogated by a creature with at least the equivalent power of a Demiurge.
