SPECIAL ABILITIES

Breath of the Void (Su)

Betelgeuse can breathe a 50-ft. cone of frigid, suffocating darkness as a standard action usable every 1d4 rounds. The cone does 9d6 cold damage (DC 19 Reflex save for half). Any opponent failing the Reflex save must also make a DC 19 Fortitude save or begin to suffocate. On the target’s next turn, the target falls unconscious and is reduced to 0 hp. One round later, the target drops to –1 hp and is dying. One round after that, the target dies. Each round, the target can make another Fortitude save to end this effect.

This additional effect only affects living creatures that must breathe. It is impossible to defeat the effects of this spell by simply holding one’s breath—if the victim fails the initial saving throw, the air in its lungs is extracted.

Starflight (Su)

Betelgeuse can survive in the void of outer space. It flies through space at incredible speeds. Although exact travel times vary, a trip within a single solar system normally takes 3d20 hours, while a trip beyond normally takes 3d20 days (or more, at the GM’s discretion)—provided Betelgeuse knows the way to its destination.

ECOLOGY

Environment any vacuum
Organization solitary

Vivid scales that seem to ooze an inky darkness cover this star beast from head to tail.

Betelgeuse lies between the light and darkness of space—it is the airless void of space incarnate. It rarely speaks, and when it does, it is never above a whisper. Its personality is cold and aloof, and it is considered distant even by star beast standards. Betelgeuse prefers to use stealth and its control over darkness and shadow to gain the advantage over foes.

All star beasts have a treasure horde that they hide in strange and often deadly locations.

Betelgeuse’s horde is hidden on the perpetual dark side of a non-rotating frozen moon. The treasures are buried deep within the icy caverns of the moon.

Betelgeuse is 60 ft. long and weighs just over 12,000 lb.

Betelgeuse prefers to lair in areas of complete darkness: the frozen dark side of a moon, the event horizon of black holes, and planetary masses floating in solar systems whose star has long since burned out.
