Description
Carry Passengers (Ex): An elsewhale can carry up to 1 Large, 4 Medium, or 16 Small creatures in its mouth, without swallowing or otherwise endangering the carried passengers. Only willing passengers may be carried inside the mouth (but unwilling creatures may be caught in a grapple). Creatures carried within the closed mouth enjoy a breathable atmosphere for the same period of time that the elsewhale can hold its breath. When carried in the creature’s mouth or in a grapple, subjects automatically fail their saving throw against the elsewhale’s plane shift spell-like ability. Spell-like Abilities (Sp): 1/day - Plane Shift (DC 19), elsewhale and passengers in mouth or grapple only. Caster level 9th. Blindsight (Ex): Elsewhales can “see” by emitting high-frequency sounds, inaudible to most other creatures, that allow them to locate objects and creatures within 120 feet. A silence spell negates this and forces the elsewhale to rely on its vision, which is approximately as good as a human’s. Hold Breath (Ex): An elsewhale can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 8 × its Constitution score before it risks drowning. Price to Buy: 8,000 gp Training an Elsewhale: Trained elsewhales are highly valued as modes of interplanar conveyance. An elsewhale requires training before it will willingly bear passengers within its mouth on command. Training an elsewhale requires six weeks of work and a DC 25 Handle Animal check. Carrying Capacity: A light load for an elsewhale is up to 8,512 pounds; a medium load, 8,513–17,056 pounds; and a heavy load, 17,057–25,600 pounds.
