SPECIAL ABILITIES

Dream Web (Ex) A type 8 hive horror can spit a 20ft. x 20ft. web up to 30-ft away as an attack action. The dream web is an iridescent green hue, making them easy to notice (Perception DC 15).  Any living creature that comes in contact with these webs experiences strange hallucinations, taking 1 point of Wisdom damage per round of contact. A DC 18 Fortitude save negates this damage. If the webs of a type 8 hive horror are burned, they create a spread of poisonous gas in a 10-foot radius. This gas deals 1d4 points of Wisdom damage to all creatures in the area. A DC 18 Fortitude save halves this damage. The cloud of colorful vapor remains for only a single round before dissipating harmlessly. The save DC is Constitution-based.  A type 8 hive horror can spit up to 5 dream webs per day.

Necromorph Options Although there are common types of hive horrors each is unique.  You can select one of the following abilities or spend 3 Gene Pool points from the mutations presented in the Mutant Menagerie.  Note these options have not been included in the creature’s stat block.

• Leaper: +8 bonus on Acrobatics (Jump) checks
• Hypersensitivity II: +2 bonus to Perception checks
• Mega Claw One of the hive horrors claws is replaced with an even more massive claw.  The mega claw’s damage increases to 2d12+12. The type 8 hive horror gains a +4 bonus to all combat maneuvers attacks to grapple or pin and gain a +4 to your KAC to prevent an opponent from countering or breaking a grapple while using the mega claw. Once it has successfully grappled an opponent it does automatic claw damage each round and maintaining its grapple becomes a swift action. The claw can be used to hold things but is incapable of fine manipulation.
