A remorhaz is whitish-blue in color but pulses with a reddish glow from the heat its body produces. The creature is a little more than 20 feet long, with a body about 5 feet wide. It weighs about 10,000 pounds.

Remorhazes cannot speak.

===COMBAT===

Remorhazes hide under the snow and ice until they hear movement above them, then attack from below and surprise prey.

'''[[SRD:Improved Grab|Improved Grab]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' To use this ability, a remorhaz must hit an opponent least one [[SRD:Size Category|size category]] smaller than itself with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]] without provoking an [[SRD:Attacks of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]]. If it wins the [[SRD:Grapple|grapple check]], it establishes a hold and can attempt to swallow the opponent the following [[SRD:Round|round]].

'''[[SRD:Swallow Whole|Swallow Whole]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' When a remorhaz begins its turn with a [[SRD:Grapple|grappled]] opponent in its mouth, it can swallow that opponent with a successful [[SRD:Grapple|grapple check]]. Once inside, the opponent takes 2d8+12 points of bludgeoning damage plus 8d6 points of fire damage per [[SRD:Round|round]] from the remorhaz’s gizzard. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 25 points of damage to the gizzard ([[SRD:AC|AC]] 15). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. A Huge remorhaz’s interior can hold 2 Large, 4 Medium, 8 Small, 32 Tiny, 128 Diminutive, or 512 Fine or smaller opponents.

'''Heat ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' An enraged remorhaz generates heat so intense that anything touching its body takes 8d6 points of fire damage. Creatures striking a remorhaz with natural attacks or unarmed attacks are subject to this damage, but creatures striking with melee weapons do not take damage from the remorhaz’s heat. This heat can melt or char weapons; any weapon that strikes a remorhaz is allowed a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 18 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude save]] to avoid [[SRD:Destruction|destruction]]. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based. [[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]] Remorhazes have a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]] checks.
