"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not
evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to,
but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend
himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for
the monsters. They end up caring about them." — Ishiro Honda

Qwilion of Questhaven,

In every land we find them—the awesome and

terrible Kaiju. Some call them monsters; some
call them gods. Regardless of the beliefs
surrounding them, tales of these mythical
creatures abound. The stories presented here
offer a perspective on some of the greatest kaiju
across the lands. As these are legends, some
exaggeration is bound to exist, yet as no one can
interview these mammoth creatures, it is very
difficult to separate the fact from the fiction.
Indeed, were the truth fully known, these beings
may very well be even more fantastical than the
tales claim.

With all respect,

Leiraleen Amelour

Breath Weapon (Su): Once every 4 rounds,
White Death can breathe out a 300 ft. cone of icy
death. Those caught in the cone take 20d6 cold
damage, and take 1d4 Dexterity damage. A
successful Reflex save (DC 29) halves the cold
damage and negates the Dexterity damage. If a
creature’s Dexterity is reduced to zero by this
breath weapon, the creature is trapped in ice,
taking 5d6 cold damage each round. A successful
Strength check (DC 29) allows a trapped creature
to break free.
Cold (Su): White Death's body generates
intense cold, dealing 3d6 points of cold damage
to any creature that contacts it with a natural
attack or unarmed strike, or whenever it hits a foe
with its claws or rend attack.
Freezing Embrace (Ex): When White Death
successfully maintains a grapple against a
creature, his body inflicts a greater amount of
cold damage to them. This deals 10d6 points of
cold damage and 1 points of Dexterity drain.
