The pale gray dragon before you looks broken and bitter. It glares at you maliciously, its tail glows a pale blue, and everything is suddenly cold... very, very cold... you can't move... you're frozen solid... The dragon grins, seizes your friend, and consumes her as you helplessly watch. What kind of monster did you just stumble upon...?!?
Kyurem is what remains of the original dragon that split into Reshiram and Zekrom. Once noble and good-hearted, this embodiment of wuji - the absence of yin and yang - has been driven insane by its loss. The loss of its yin and yang has left Kyurem utterly devoid of morals, and now it will stop at nothing to become whole again; anyone who gets in its way will have a very difficult fight on their hands, with the price of defeat being utter obliteration.
Combat
Kyurem lacks the raw power of the dragons borne from its body, but makes up for that with a savage ruthlessness and cruelty. Its signature Glaciate attack freezes absolutely everything in its vicinity. Its Fusion Freeze is a bizarre and terrible power...
Kyurem represents wuji - that is, nothingness. It is incomplete, and painfully aware of that fact. Its goal is to find Reshiram and Zekrom, and force them to become part of it once more. Anything that stands between Kyurem and its goal is just an annoyance to it - and its response to an annoyance is to rip it apart and devour the offender's corpse.
The side-effects of being hit with Kyurem's melee attacks (except for the effects of its Debilitating Strike feat) can be negated with a DC 43 Fortitude save (the save DC is Strength-based.) The save DCs for all of Kyurem's abilities, except for its spell-like abilities, are equal to 10 + half of Kyurem's HD (16) + key ability modifier. (The save DCs of the spell-like abilities are calculated as through they were spells.)
Frost Infusion (Su): Kyurem's natural weapons are treated as though they had the icy burst property.
Natural Weapon Flexibility (Ex): Kyurem is highly skilled with its natural weapons, and its attacks never feel stiff or awkward. Its natural weapons are treated like they were manufactured weapons for the purpose of applying its Strength bonus to damage (its claws are treated as light weapons, its bite is treated like a standard weapon, and its tail slap is treated as a two-handed weapon. Kyurem is still not able to get extra attacks by courtesy of its base attack bonus, instead using all of its natural weapons in its full attack like any other creature would.
Glaciate (Su): As a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, Kyurem can concentrate the essence of utter nothingness in its tail, manifested as ice - the absence of energy. As part of that same full-round action, Kyurem then blasts everything within 2500 feet of it with numbing cold that freezes everything. All creatures caught in the area take 10d10 cold damage (Reflex save for half), and creatures failing the Reflex save must make a Fortitude save or be slowed (as the spell) for 50 rounds. A creature that fails the Fortitude save must also make a Will save or else permanently lose the ability to move, frozen into ice and unable to take even mental actions as the cold utterly immobilizes body and mind. Any who suffer this fate are essentially petrified (as flesh to stone, but still aware - just unable to do anything but watch as Kyurem destroys everything in the vicinity. Kyurem may also use Fusion Freeze on a frozen opponent, as the opponent is essentially helpless. A victim of Kyurem's freezing power can only be freed from the ice if Kyurem leaves an area within 5 miles of the victim for more than 1 consecutive year, or else by Reshiram's flame or Zekrom's lightning. The save DCs are 44 (Constitution-based). Kyurem can use Glaciate once every 2d6-2 rounds.
Kyurem's Glaciate can be interrupted just like a spell, with an effective spell level of 10. If Kyurem is distracted while using Glaciate, it must succeed on a Concentration check, or that use of the ability will be wasted.
Fusion Freeze (Su): As a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, Kyurem can extend tendrils from its back to seize a helpless or dead opponent (or one that it has pinned) and make them part of its body. An opponent assimilated in this fashion cannot be revived, even by wish or miracle, unless the fusion can somehow be undone. Kyurem gains +1 HD for every opponent assimilated in this fashion, as well as gaining 1 special attack, special quality, or feat the opponent possesses. If Kyurem merges with Reshiram or Zekrom in this fashion, it will become White Kyurem or Black Kyurem, respectively, at the conclusion of the action.
Breath Weapon (Ice Beam) (Su): Kyurem's breath weapon is a 75-foot line of severe cold, 15 feet high and 15 feet wide, that deals 8d8 points of cold damage, Reflex save half (DC 43, Constitution-based). After using its breath weapon, Kyurem cannot use it again for 1d4 rounds.
Outrage (Su): As a dragon, Kyurem is capable of entering a truly terrifying rage. This Outrage lasts for three rounds. During the Outrage, Kyurem increases the save DC of all of its abilities by +4 and gains a +4 bonus to its attack rolls. Additionally, any damage it delivers (physical, spell-like, or otherwise) is increased by 1d8 per two hit dice. Entering an Outrage is a Swift action. It cannot be cut short. When Outrage ends, Kyurem becomes fatigued and confused for one minute.
