| - | *''Venomous'': A cataclysm with this ability gains a bite attack that deals 2d8 points of damage. Successfully biting an opponent requires them to make a Fortitude save (DC 25 + the cataclysm's Constitution modifier; DC 38 for a standard cataclysm) or suffer additional poison damage equal to the cataclysm's Hero Value for a number of rounds after the attack equal to the cataclysm's Constitution modifier (15 poison damage per round for 13 rounds for a standard cataclysm). | + | *''Venomous'': A cataclysm with this ability gains a bite attack that deals 2d8 points of damage.

Successive bites do not result in new instances of poisoning. Instead, they increase the duration of the original instance, so that a creature bitten three times by a cataclysm over the course of three rounds has 13 rounds from the most recent bite, plus 12 rounds from the previous round's bite, plus 11 rounds from the preceding round's bite, for a total of 36 rounds of poison damage. A cataclysm with claw, talon, or sting attacks also adds this poison damage to those attacks as well. |

Creatures slain by a cataclysm with this ability or objects affected by this ability are affected as if by a ''disintegration'' spell. | *''Disrupting Touch'': A cataclysm with this ability adds 5d6 damage to each of its natural attacks.
