<big>'''Feats'''</big><br>
''Heroic Strike:'' 84 times per day, when a trempulcahue makes an attack or uses a direct hit point damaging spell or spell-like ability, it may declare it to be a 'heroic strike'. It adds its highest ability modifier (+84) to its attack roll, or as a bonus to caster level checks to overcome a targets spell resistance. If it hits, it deals extra damage equal to its hero value (+501). If it miss, the ability is still used up for the day. Damaging spells that deal reduced or partial damage on a successful save by the affected targets only deal half hero value in extra damage, rounded down, if they make a successful save.<br>
''Intrepid Dodge:'' 84 times per day, as an immediate action when it is attacked, a trempulcahue may add its hero value to its Armor Class as a destiny bonus. This bonus lasts until the start of its next turn.

A destiny bonus to armor class applies and stacks with other bonuses as if it were a deflection bonus, but still stacks with a deflection bonus to AC. If a trempulcahue do so, it is not automatically struck on a natural 20. A trempulcahue may use this ability when flat-footed.<br>
''Legendary Lore:'' A trempulcahue has the savant's Lore ability, except that it uses its hero value to determine its bonus.<br>
''Legendary Presence:'' 413 times per day, as a standard action, enemies within 30' of the trempulcahue must make a Will save (DC 518) or be shaken for one minute. A trempulcahue has taken this feat 206 times.<br>
''Mythic Recovery:'' 413 times per day, as an immediate action, a trempulcahue may end a number of the following effects on itself equal to its hero value: blinded, confused, dazed, dazzled, deafened, entangled, exhausted, fatigued, immobilized, paralyzed, or sickened. If it cannot use this ability due to an effect it would end with this ability, it may instead activate this ability as a full-round action even if it normally would not be able to do so. A trempulcahue has taken this feat 206 times.

<big>'''Abilities'''</big><br>
''Aura of Majesty (Su):'' A trempulcahue emanates an aura of majesty: creatures gazing upon a trempulcahue must make a DC 517 Will save or be struck in awe at the creature's fantastic size and majesty. Creatures affected by a trempulcahue's aura of majesty are unable to harm the trempulcahue purposefully.<br>
''Crush (Ex):'' This special attack allows a trempulcahue to land on opponents as a standard action, using its whole body to crush them. Crush attacks are effective only against opponents three or more size categories smaller than the trempulcahue (though it can attempt normal overrun or grapple attacks against larger opponents).

A crush attack affects as many creatures as can fit under the trempulcahue's body. Creatures in the affected area must succeed on a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 the trempulcahue's Hit Dice + its Constitution modifier) or be pinned, automatically taking bludgeoning damage during the next round unless the trempulcahue moves off them. If the trempulcahue chooses to maintain the pin, treat it as a normal grapple attack. Pinned opponents take damage from the crush each round if they don't escape.

A crush attack deals slam damage plus 1 and 1/2 times the trempulcahue's Strength bonus (round down).

When a trempulcahue dies, it falls, crushing the area below it as this ability when it lands.<br>
''Engulf (Ex)'': A trempulcahue can can simply mow down smaller creatures as a standard action. It cannot make a slam attack during a round in which it engulfs. The trempulcahue merely has to move over the opponents, affecting as many as it can cover. Opponents can make opportunity attacks against the trempulcahue, but if they do so they are not entitled to a saving throw. Those who do not attempt attacks of opportunity must succeed on a DC 594 Reflex save or be engulfed; on a success, they are pushed back or aside (opponent's choice) as the trempulcahue moves forward. Engulfed creatures are swallowed whole. The save DC is Strength-based.<br>
''Fast Healing (Ex):'' A trempulcahue has fast healing equal to its Constitution modifier.<br>
''Legendary (Ex):'' A trempulcahue is immune to Hero Value damage.<br>
''Massive (Ex):'' A trempulcahue is a truly massive creature, and a city may be built on its back. When advantageous to do so, a trempulcahue is sixteen effective size categories larger than Colossal. It takes up a 16700' space--effectively, it is large enough that, barring flight and teleportation, any combat involving it will take place ''on'' it. Combats involving a trempulcahue should treat the trempulcahue as damageable scenery rather than a tactical combatant. A trempulcahue takes a -80 penalty to Stealth checks due to its massive size.<br>
''Mighty (Ex):'' A trempulcahue does not fail a saving throw on a 1.<br>
''Spell Resistance (Su):'' A trempulcahue has spell resistance equal to its composite ability modifier.<br>
''Swallow Whole (Ex)'': A swallowed opponent takes damage equal to a trempulcahue's slam attack in bludgeoning damage per round from the trempulcahue's gizzard. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 15150 points of damage to the gizzard (AC 6). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. A trempulcahue's interior can hold a gigantic number of creatures: a trempulcahue has a maximum capacity of 32,768 Colossal, 65,536 Gargantuan, 131,702 Huge, 262,144 Large, 524,288 Medium, 1,048,576 Small, 2,097,152 Tiny, 4,194,304 Diminutive, or 8,388,608 Fine creatures.

<big>'''Ecology'''</big>

A trempulcahue is approximately the size of Manhattan and weighs approximately 36 teratons.

Trempulcahue originate from the Elemental Plane of Air, but some have migrated to the Prime Material over time. They are truly gigantic creatures, and many civilizations of smaller creatures have made pacts with individual trempulcahue to build upon their mighty backs, creating mobile, flying cities aboard a living, thinking vessel.

Trempulcahue have been slain in the past by enterprising warlords making concerted tactical strikes. Each instance can be marked in history both by the event itself and the following crater.
