Tim Curry Tuesdays - Hexxus

Welcome to Tim Curry Tuesday! Allow me to introduce you to Hexxus, a being of destruction that is toxic to all around it. Ancient stories first describe the blight in a distant tropical forest, but it has appeared numerous times in many places that were once verdant lands that are now toxic wastelands.

This being appears as a large black gooey mass, that is constantly surrounded by a cloud of thick noxious vapors. It is very intelligent and malicious, and seeks to destroy any natural vegetation it encounters. Hexxus can attack with a toxic swipe, which causes 3d8 damage with a reach of 10'. Anyone within 5' will automatically suffer an attack from the toxic fumes that surround Hexxus (class 3 poison).  If attacked with a flame based attach Hexxus may immediately expel a gout of flame 60' long that causes 10d6 points of damage to anyone hit (save for half). This causes Hexxus to lose the Toxic Weapon ability for 1 hour.

If encountered in a toxic or radioactive area (it's preferred habitat) Hexxus gains the ability to regenerate 1d4 hit point per round, and the toxic cloud grows to 10'.

Mutations: Reflective Epidermis (Radiation, Poison, Fire), Toxic Weapon (Gas Breath), Epidermal Sensitivity (Plant-based attacks)
