The hunched violet beast is the height of a man and relative girth of a dwarf, and bears only cursory resemblance to the porcupine-thing it once was. The earth shakes while it walks, more than its girth alone would make possible.
Combat[edit]
Poison: Injury, Fortitude DC 22, initial damage 2d6 Con and Nauseated 1 minute, secondary damage 3d6 Con. The DC is Constitution-based.
Poison Darts (Ex): Nidoking can fire small venomous barbs up to 30 feet away. These regrow every day, allowing up to 4 to be fired per day.
Poison Point (Ex): Anyone who strikes a Nidoking with an unarmed or natural weapon attack, or grapples/is grappled by one, takes one point of damage and must save against its poison.
Substitute (Sp): Nidoking can cast mirror image at will and simulacrum once per day.
Flamethrower (Su): A Nidoking's flamethrower attack strikes in a 40-ft. line or 20-ft. cone and deals 1d6 fire damage per HD (maximum 20d6); this fire is hot enough to deal full damage to objects. Creatures in the area may halve the damage on a successful reflex save DC 10 + Nidoking's Charisma modifier + ½ Nidoking's Hit Dice. Nidoking may not use Flamethrower for d4 +1 rounds after having used it. The Sample Nidoking's Flamethrower attack inflicts 12d6 fire damage with a save DC of 21.
Earthquake (Sp): Nidoking can cast earthquake (caster level equals hit dice) once per 4 rounds.
Megahorn (Ex): Nidoking's gore attack is treated as though it has Augment Critical and Improved Natural Attack.
Stone Edge (Su): Nidoking can cast spike stones at will.
Sandstorm (Su): As a Standard action, Nidoking can summon a sandstorm, as per the sandstorm[1] spell.
Egg Move: Nidoking inherits the special power it had as a Nidorino:
- Charm Person -> charm monster at will as a spell-like ability
- Beat Up (Ex): Nidoking and all allies within 10 feet gain +1 to hit and +1d6 damage for every ally adjacent to their target.
- Lesser Confusion -> confusion at will as a spell-like ability
