A gargantuan Tyrannosaurus storms out of the tainted jungle to the south. As if that wouldn’t be intimidating enough, this creature is obviously different from its lesser kin. Huge, bat-like wings unfurl from its back, and sharp black horns extrude from its unnaturally red skin. This creature is nearly twice as large as a usual specimen.

The creature originally called Azuvidexus was once a demon lord of N’gharl, although this monster has been dead for over three hundred years. No one remembers his true form. Some say he was a very powerful Miquot Demon, while others say he was a semi-undead Spinogloth (fulfilling N’gharl’s trinity of dinosaur-like Obyriths, one for the land, sky, and sea). Whatever the case, in his original full-blood demon incarnation, he is remembered as a rival of Demogorgon who died when the Prince of Demons showed how ruthless he really was.

After his layer was pulled from the Abyss, Azuvidexus was imprisoned with the rest of its inhabitants in the “N’gharl Seed” now condensed to the size of a human head. It eventually made its way to the Material Plane, where it landed on the jungle island of the Sauric Isles. There, a starving Tyrannosaur (driven insane by a brain worm infestation), took a bite out of the seed, and released its demonic energies. The creature was overwhelmed, and it merged with Azuvidexus. Both creatures were destroyed in this merging, and a newer, larger monstrosity was made. This creature had the same basic shape of the Tyrannosaur, but with many demonic features. All of Azuvidexus’ memories were lost, and only the Tyrannosaur’s memories survived. Azuvidexus’ basic personality and intelligence was transferred in this merging however, and now this creature constantly conflicts between the natural and supernatural forces in its psyche.

Azuvidexus resents his time as an unintelligent animal, and although he does not remember why, he feels a burning desire to expand his territory as much as possible. This puts him into conflict with all nearby races, except for a select few who worship him as a god. He is at war with Demogorgorn, who he hates with a passion, although he cannot figure out why. His old allies, Dinogloth and Pterragloth, are also his enemies. They hate the reincarnated Azuvidexus, seeing him as nothing more than a shell of the true demon. Azuvidexus can be found wandering any corner of N’gharl, and most who see him don’t last long enough to talk about it.

Combat
Azuvidexus is rather straight forward in combat; it hunts animals and their fiendish variants when hungry, and attack humanoids (unless a member of his cult) on sight.

Deathly Pallor (Ex): Although he may not appear so, Azuvidexus is slowly rotting from the inside out. This is believed to be occurring because of Azuvidexus’ original, semi-undead state. Azuvidexus has all the abilities and immunities of the Undead Type, but none of it's weaknesses (i.e. he is not mindless or subject to Turn Undead or abilities that specifically affect only Undead). It is somewhere between being an Obyrith and an Undead.

Spell-like Abilities: 1/day- Desecrate, Unholy Blight (DC 22), Contagion (DC 21), Blasphemy (DC 25), Unhallow, Horrid Wilting (DC 26), Summon Monster IX (fiends and fiendish reptiles only), Destruction (DC 25). 3/day- Darkness, Poison (DC 22), Unholy Aura (DC 26). Caster Level 52nd. 3/day- Greater Dispel Magic, Haste (DC 21), See Invisibility. Caster Level 15th.

Smite Good (Su): Once per day, Azuvidexus can smite a good creature, dealing 20 points of extra damage.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a tyrannosaurus must hit an opponent of up to one size smaller with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can try to swallow the foe the following round.

Swallow Whole (Ex): A tyrannosaurus can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of up to two sizes smaller by making a successful grapple check. The swallowed creature takes 3d6+13 points of bludgeoning damage and 13 points of acid damage per round from the tyrannosaurus’s gizzard. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 50 points of damage to the gizzard (AC 15). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out.
Azuvidexus’ gizzard can hold 4 Medium, 16 Small, 64 Tiny, or 256 Diminutive or smaller opponents.

Spout Demon (Su): The majority of the N’gharl Seed can still be found in Azuvidexus’ gullet, slowly burning his insides into an undead monstrosity. By concentrating as a full round action, Azuvidexus may actually vomit up demons. There is a 10% chance of vomiting a Balor, a 30% chance of vomiting a pack of 4d6 Dretches, a 10% chance of vomiting 1d2 Mariliths, and a 20% chance of vomiting 1d6 Miquots. These demons are not summoned, but called.

Skills: A tyrannosaurus has a +2 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks.
