The body of a mature purple worm is 5 feet in diameter and 80 feet long, weighing about 40,000 pounds. The creature has a poisonous stinger in its tail.
In battle, a purple worm forms into a coil 20 feet in diameter, biting and stinging anything within reach.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a purple worm must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a
grapple as a
free action without provoking an
attack of opportunity. If it wins the
grapple check, it establishes a hold and can attempt to swallow the foe the following round.
Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 25, initial
damage 1d6 Str, secondary
damage 2d6 Str. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Swallow Whole (Ex): A purple worm can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of a smaller size than itself by making a successful
grapple check. Once inside, the opponent takes 2d8+12 points of crushing
damage plus 8 points of acid
damage per round from the worm'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 (AC 17). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. A Gargantuan worm's interior can hold 2 Large, 8 Medium, 32 Small, 128 Tiny, or 512 Diminutive or smaller opponents.
Skills: A purple worm has a +8 racial bonus on any
Swim check to
perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a
Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the
run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.
