    Heh, that article lead to the creation of the "tough Zuggy" mod, in which Zuggtmoy is as close to her real stats as the game engine (and my limited level of motivation) could handle, she is only just beatable by groups of 820th level characters in that mod ;) Thanks go to Krunch for testing her out in battle.

    Here's a link to the thread in question.

    i'd assume its the same CR21 Zuggy from fiendish codex I?

    edit: nope, different :p fiendish codex one seems to be toned down quite a bit :)

    Cheapskate ;-)))) And here was me on commission for every download from you guys for the next 2 months :shrug: ...

    Honestly, if you aren't interested, that's cool. Just thought some people might be, especially as its now available as a PDF download. (eg Allyx in "the sticks" down in Essex).

    Allyx- now you remind me, I did see this way back after all, and vampiric puppy you're right about the fiendish codex. I forgot about these things in the rush of my desire to bring pleasure into your lives in my humble way!

    Cheers guys.

    (Edit-of course the stats in Dragon would be for Zuggtmoy on her own plane without being weakened by the Cof8 imprisonment and/or destruction of goldenskull.)

    -----------------------------------
    Constrict (Ex)
    Zuggtmoy deals 2d6+10 points of damage with a successful grapple
    check, in addition to damage from her pseudopod attack.​
    Engulf (Su)
    Zuggtmoy can absorb a grappled creature into her body as long as that
    creature is smaller than she is. She can absorb one medium, two small, four tiny,
    sixteen diminutive, or sixty-four fine creatures at once. In order to engulf a creature,
    Zuggtmoy need only win a new grapple check against her already grappled foe. Each
    roung, fungal enzymes eat away at the engulfed victim and deal 1d6 points of Constitution
    drain per round. Zuggtmoy heals 5 hit points for each point of Constitution drain she
    deals. A creature drained to 0 Constitution is absorbed completely by Zuggtmoy.
    Any gear the creature might have is exuded out of her body at this time.
    An engulfed creature is considered grappled, while Zuggtmoy is not. An engulfed creature
    can attempt to cut its way free with any light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 50 points
    of damage to Zuggtmoy's womb (AC 26, damage reduction 20/cold iron and good). Once
    the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole: another engulfed opponent must cut its
    own way out.
    Improved Grab (Ex)
    To use this ability, Zuggtmoy must hit an opponent of any size with a
    pseudopod attack. She can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without
    provoking an attack of opportunity. If she wins the grapply check, she establishes a hold
    and can constrict. If she successfully grapples a medium or smaller target, she can
    attempt to engulf that target the next round.​
    Summon Fungi (Sp)
    Once per day, Zuggtmoy can automatically summon 2d6 violet fungi
    or phantom fungi. This ability is the equivalent of a 6th-level spell (CL 20th).​
    Summon Tanar'ri (sp)
    Once per day, Zuggtmoy can automatically summon 1d4 vrocks.
    this ability is the equivalent of a 9th-level spell (CL 20th).
    Plant Traits Although she is an outsider, Zuggtmoy gains many of the traits of a plant
    creature. She is immune to poison, paralysis, polymorph, sleep effects, and stunning
    and is not subject to critical hits or sneak attack damage.​
    Sporegate (Su)
    Zuggtmoy constantly infiltrates the surrounding earth, wood, and stone
    with a network of spore-laden filaments invisible to the naked eye, to a radius of 60 ft.
    Once per round as a move action, Zuggtmoy can transport herself instantaneously to any pointn this radius, as if by dimension door. When she utilizes a sporegate, her body appears to discorporate into spores only to immediately reform at any point within 60 ft. Unlike dimension door, this transportation does not prevent her from taking any further actions she might still have in the round. Physical objects (including engulfed victims) are not transported with her and instead drop to the ground at her previous location.​


    The dark speech feat has a number of uses like scaring people and swarm control but i cant be bothered right now :p
