If I was able to pit theses three "titans" against each other, who do you think would win in the end.

Fiendwurm VS Hellfire Wurm VS Tarrasque?

Also, is the Hell W a dragon even though it is called a wurm?

The tarasq is the best way to fo if making a beat on said creatures. If you read the books really really closely. Its states that you better have a true wish in back up to keep the tar dead. Yeah. A wish. Not a handy dandy sword. My god char in an epic level campaine was put to the test against one and... sad to say. He was ate. Yeah ate. So don't worry about them other creatures. Sure the tar might end up in the abyss, But thats ok. cause it will just go to sleep like FOREVER until something just happens to wake it up. Yeah. Big old beastie. I was thinking about making a a chron where some people would get to fight one way way way way way ... ummm *three hours later* way way way way way later in the game.

You can't post images here, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on the experiences of the person involved). You can, however, post links.

I managed to find a pick of the beast, and wow, not what i expected, but fearsome nonetheless

My money is still on the tarrasque
Cyric Posted - 07 Sep 2003 : 08:46:57
I would say Fiend Wurm he looks very powerful to

Could you guide me to the tomes which contain the beasts Hellfirewurm and Fiendwurm? I have never heard of such creatures and would like more info on them as to make a better guess



You seem to know what the Tarq is so here is a little info on the other two.

Fiend Wurm - Gargantuan Magical Beast
HP - 375
AC - 27

Initiative: +5
Speed: 60 ft in ground or above ground
Attack: Bite +33 melee
Dmg: Bite 2d8+19
Face/reach: 10 ft by 40 ft/10 ft

Special Attacks: Death rift - When it dies, all creatures within 5 feet of the wurm most make a reflex save of 31 or is drawn into the Fiendwurm's collapsing portal and is teleported to the Abyss. When this occurs, the body and portal of the Wurm are destroyed, so those taken to the Abyss must find another means of escape.

Demonic Belch - Three times per day. Bring 1d4 demons to aid it. They arrive unharmed but the Wurm may attack them if they seem to be easier prey then the opponents. Roll a d% (d100) to determine what type of demon arrives. 01-50 (Jovocs) 51-75 (Quasits) 76-100 (Vrocks). They cannot use their own summoning abilities for 1 hour after being summoned. Wurm must wait 1d4 turns before using this again.

Improved Grab: If Fiendwurm his an opponent that is at least one size category smaller then itself with a bite attack, it can attempt to grapple it as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity (grapple bonus +49). Also, it can deal normal grapple dmg (automatic bite dmg).

Swallow Whole: Swallow an opponent two sizes smaller then itself with a successful grapple check. Once inside, the opponent take 2d8+13 of bludgeoning dmg and 1d8 points of acid dmg per round in its gizzard. 1 successful grapple check allows the consumed to climb out of the gizzard and return to the Fiendwurm's mouth. Another success grapple check allows the creature to get free. Or, the player may deal 25 dmg to the creatures gizzard (AC 20), cutting a hole in it and escaping. After the player escapes, the hole disappears.

Special Qualities
Acidic Hide: 3d6 dmg vs organic creature or 5d8 vs metal creaure/object or 1d10 vs stone.

Portal - In the gizzard of the wurm is a portal to the abyss realm. Those swallowed must make a reflex save of DC31 or you fall into the portal. If the portal is closed, then the wurm dies but does not implode.

Also, acid immunity, dark vision, DR 15/-, Tremorsense.

HD - 25-72

The Sage Posted - 01 Sep 2003 : 06:18:03
It is really all dependent upon their individual statistics and what size category (advancement HD) they encounter each other in (at least from a mechanics viewpoint).

Perhaps you should also detail their individual advancement category (and HD) so that a more accurate determination can be attempted.

Or simply say you wish to use these creatures as detailed in the MM.
