An unholy creature formed from the bones of innumerable creatures. It often haunts graveyards and other forlorn locations. Originally a single skull that lay beside a grave, its anger at being left behind led it to join together with other lonely bones, eventually taking its current form. It is said the mahadeva is on an endless, vain search for its original form.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Ashen Blight (Su)
3/day, a mahadeva creates ash to erupt around it’s foes. All enemies within 30 feet of the mahadeva suffer the effects of Blindga. (Will save DC 20) Blue mages may learn this ability as a 3rd level spell (Knowledge: Religion DC 21).
Bone Slash (Ex)
Once every 1d4+1 rounds as a swift-action, a mehadeva can choose to focus it’s energy and attack with it’s sting and claw. The damage increases it’s sting to 2d8+14/18-20 and it’s claw to 2d6+14/18-20 damage each and it inflicts it during that round.
Crypt Dust (Su)
1/day, a mahadeva throws dust upon it’s foe within 15 feet away to inflict zombie status effect for 6 rounds. A mahadeva must make a range touch attack (+9), if successful, the opponent must make a Fortitude save (DC 20) to negate the zombie affect. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 5th level spell (Knowledge: Religion DC 25).
