SPECIAL ABILITIES
Improved Evasion (Ex)
This works like evasion, except that while the gigantuar still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks, she henceforth takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless gigantuar does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
Ker Plunk (Ex)
A gigantuar can collapse onto foes as a standard action, using its whole body to crush them. Knockdown attacks are effective only against opponents two or more size categories smaller than the gigantuar. A knockdown attack affects as many creatures as fit in the gigantuar’s space, allowing it to move up to 15 feet into enemy spaces without provoking attacks of opportunity as part of this attack. Creatures in the affected area must succeed on a Reflex save (DC 21) or be pinned, automatically taking 2d8+7 bludgeoning damage during the next round unless the gigantuar moves off them. If the gigantuar chooses to maintain the pin, it must succeed at a combat maneuver check as normal. Pinned foes take damage from the knockdown each round if they don’t escape.
Ten Thousand Needles (Su)
3/day, a gigantuar conjure up a spray of needles and fires them at targets in a 60-ft.-cone. Creatures within the area take 16d4 points of piercing damage and are inflicted with 5 points of bleeding. A successful Reflex (DC 17) save halves the damage and negates the bleeding effect. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 5th level spell (DC 25).
Thorns (Ex)
A gigantuar’s body is covered with sharp wooden thorns. Any creature attacking a gigantuar with a non-reach melee weapon or with natural attacks takes 2d6+9 points of piercing damage from the gigantuar’s sharp thorns. A creature that grapples with a gigantuar takes this same damage each round.
