This monster has chitinous plates and more than a score segmented legs, a multipartite maw, and winglike growths fianking its head. The most unusual aspect of the creature, however, is its internal heat, which burns with such intensity that it causes the armored plates on the creature''s back to become superheated whenever the beast is agitated. Remorhazes are carnivores. Their diet includes arctic animals such as elk, but a hungry remorhaz readily devours anything it can catch and kill. It commonly lurks beneath ice or snow and ambushes prey with a sudden upward strike. Many victims die before even knowing what attacked them. Those who survive the worm''s initial onslaught must face not only its deadly jaws, but also its hideously hot body. This heat can melt weapons, scorch armor, and burn flesh—all tactics the remorhaz uses to disable and defeat its foes. A remorhaz''s internal fire allows it to burrow through ice and snow with ease. It leaves smooth tunnels in its wake as melted ice refreezes to leave the telltale signs of its passage. Most people underestimate a remorhaz''s intelligence, assuming it to be a mere animal. However, remorhazes are capable of learning languages. Frost giants in particular use this trait to form alliances with them. The giants provide food, protection, and shelter for the worm, and in return the remorhaz acts as a guard beast and helps the giants build fortresses and forge metal weapons. The giants also employ the worms as war beasts, using them to undermine enemy positions. **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 25' hp: 120 hp_misc: null immunities: - cold - fire items: null knowledge_checks: dc: 25 skills: - Arcana - Nature languages: - Jotun - (can't speak any language) level: 7 melee: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 2d10+9 type: piercing name: jaws plus_damage: - formula: null type: Grab to_hit: 18 traits: - reach 15 feet - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 1d10+3 type: bludgeoning name: tail plus_damage: - formula: 2d6 type: fire to_hit: 18 traits: - fire - reach 15 feet name: Remorhaz perception: 14 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: Two Actions critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: The remorhaz unleashes a gout of flame that deals 8d6 fire damage in a 30-foot cone (DC 26 basic Reflex save).
