Breath Weapon (Su)

A gorgimera has two breath weapons, each of which can be used independently of the other (thus it can breathe twice in a given round as a single standard action).

A gorgimera’s dragon head breath weapon depends on the color of its dragon head, as summarized on the table below. Regardless of its type, a gorgimera’s breath weapon is usable once every 1d4 rounds, deals 3d8 points of damage, and allows a DC 21 Reflex save for half damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.

To determine a gorgimera’s head color and breath weapon randomly, roll 1d10 and consult the table below.

1d10 Head Color Breath Weapon
1-2 Black 40 ft. line of acid
3-4 Blue 40 ft. line of lightning
5-6 Green 20 ft. cone of gas (acid)
7-8 Red 20 ft. cone of fire
9-10 White 20 ft. cone of cold

A gorgimera’s gorgon head breath weapon is usable once every 1d4 rounds (no more than twice per day), turns a creature to stone permanently, and allows a DC 19 Fortitude save to avoid. The save DC is Constitution-based. The breath weapon is a 30-foot cone.


Environment temperate hills and mountains
Organization solitary or pair

A gorgimera is a chimerical creature with the heads of a lion, dragon, and gorgon. It has the hindquarters of a gorgon and the forequarters of lion. It is a highly territorial predator whose hunting range often covers several square miles around its lair. The creature makes its home inside caves high atop mountains or deep inside caverns. A typical lair contains a mated pair and one or two young. A gorgimera’s dragon head can be that of any of the evil dragons. The lion head has no mane, and the scaled gorgon head is a deep navy blue with glowing red eyes.

A gorgimera prefers to attack from ambush. It usually attacks by biting with its lion head and dragon head, butting with its gorgon head, and slashing with its front leonine paws. In lieu of biting, the dragon head and gorgon head can emit their respective breath weapons.
