A hulking beast with two majestic curved horns adorning its head and fish-like fins on its back. A fearsome presence since primeval times, it appears in legends, where it was said to have bared its teeth against a deity of light. Possessed of such unspeakable powers that adventurers have been named saviors of their nations for felling a single behemoth, it is a foe best taken on by only the mightiest of heroes.

Whenever struck by a melee attack, as an attack of opportunity, the behemoth will return one claw strike at (+32) 2d8+26 points of damage.

Heave (Ex)
Once every 1d4 rounds, the behemoth can throw a grabbed opponent of Large or smaller size into the air by making a successful grapple check; once thrown, the opponent takes 2d6 points of falling damage, plus an additional 1d6 points of damage for each size category smaller than Large the opponent is (for example, a Medium-sized creature would be 1 category smaller than Large, & therefore would take 3d6 falling damage); this is a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
