From the back, these creatures resemble mechanical
lobsters made from beaten bronze, standing nine feet
tall. When viewed from the front, a mask-like human
face and glowing blue eyes can be seen beneath the
armoured shell, as if a person were wearing a suit of
lobster-like armour. The creature has a set of human
arms beneath its lobster claws, which it uses for tasks
that require fine manipulation. The lobster claws have
a far greater reach than is immediately apparent. The
bronze arms telescope out, allowing the creature to
snatch up trespassers.
Powerful magicians appoint the termador to guard
underwater locations. When possible, they disable
rather than kill intruders. Termador use their feeblemind
spell-like abilities to turn intruders into docile morons,
then eradicate their memories of ever having been to the
location with their modify memory ability. Those who
have encountered the termador – often shipwrecked
sailors or treasure seekers – find themselves adrift at sea
with no memory of what they have just been through or
how they got to where they are now.
Amphibious: Though it is designed for underwater duty,
a termador functions as well on land as it does beneath
the sea.
Crush (Ex): A termador deals 1d6+18 damage with a
successful Grapple check.
Defensive Armouring (Ex): A termador’s jointed armour
plates allow it to roll itself up into a ball, protecting
itself from harm and allowing it to heal. It does this if it
takes too much damage in combat and has no easy way
to retreat. A termador can ball up or return to normal
as a move action. While balled up, it gains a +8 natural
armour bonus to its Armour Class and a +2 resistance
bonus to Fortitude saving throws, and its fast healing
ability increases from 10 to 15. However, it can take no
actions at all other than to uncoil itself.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the termador
must hit with a pincer 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 crush the target.
Spell-like Abilities: At will, as 14 th level sorcerer
– feeblemind (DC 19), modify memory (DC 18); 3/day
– wall of iron, 1/day – telekinetic sphere. The save DCs
are Charisma-based.
Stunning Pulse (Sp): A termador disables its opponents
by generating a thumping pulse of sound that hammers
the water in front of it in a cone 60 feet wide at the base.
It does this as a standard action. All creatures in the
area of effect suffer 6d6 points of sonic damage, with a
Reflex saving throw (DC 21) for half damage. Affected
creatures must also make Fortitude saving throws (DC
21) or be dazed for one round. Once a termador has
used its stunning pulse, it cannot use it again for 1d4
rounds. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Telepathy (Su): Termador can communicate with one
another over distances of up to 100 feet. They cannot
use this ability to communicate with creatures other
than termador.
