Invert Birth (Su) When a drakainia uses her dimension
door spell-like ability, instead of the normal range, she
can choose to teleport to any space occupied by one of
her spawn that is within 1 mile of her. She doesn’t need
line of sight or knowledge of the spawn’s location. If she
chooses a spawn that is farther than a mile away, she
does not lose the use of the spell-like ability, but does
lose the action. On arrival, she explodes out from her
offspring, destroying it entirely.
Polymorphism (Ex) The spawn gestating inside the
drakainia constantly alter her internal construction,
making her immune to bleed, disease, poison, and
polymorph effects. When she is subject to a critical hit
or a sneak attack, this polymorphism grants her a 75%
chance of negating such attacks.
Razor Claws (Ex) A drakainia’s claws are razor sharp with a
critical threat range of 17–20 and a critical multiplier of ×4.
Transfer Suffering (Su) As a swift action, a drakainia can
transfer a single harmful spell effect or condition from
herself to one of her offspring that is currently within her
gestation aura.
Well of Life (Su) A drakainia can unleash the primal life
energy within in her body to channel positive energy as
if she were a 20th-level cleric (DC 35). She can use this
ability 18 times per day and can choose to expend 1 use
of mythic power at each use to maximize the damage
healed.

Primal life energy, raw and uncontrolled, seethes
through this mother of monsters. Her churning,
distended belly mocks creation, birthing horrors and
dismal failures. The weak are torn apart in the writhing
mass of her nursery, while the strong transcend their
hideous origins to become creatures of greatness in
their own right.
She is always encountered with at least a handful
of her favored children, as well as other progeny she
can sacrifice to protect herself. With their help, she
impregnates those who come across her with twisted,
monstrous life.

Drakainia Spawn
When a drakainia spawns, either through her own
body or through a surrogate, what issues forth is a
mutated abomination. Any impregnated creature that’s
within the drakainia’s gestation aura has a child of the
parents’ race, but with one of the following mutations.

Mutation

creature gains a +8 racial bonus on Stealth checks and gains hide in plain sight.

day it can spit a dose of poison up to 20 feet as a ranged touch attack. Poison: Contact—injury; save Fort DC 10 + 1/2 the
creature’s HD + its Constitution modifier; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d3 Con damage; cure 1 save.

Vestigial Companion (Ex) The creature has the head of an animal (usually a goat, chicken, or dog) growing out of its back
