Description
Afflicted (Ex): Once transformed into a savage creature, a greater restoration spell causes the victim to revert to normal, provided the caster succeeds on a caster level check DC 10. A miracle or wish spell automatically restores a savage ice toad to normal. A savage ice toad that is killed and then brought back to life loses the effects of this template.

Death Throes (Su): When a savage ice toad dies, it can immediately make a bite attack, snapping at any one creature in reach just before it succumbs. A savage ice toad can make this bite attack only after an attack kills it outright. Once this bite attack is resolved, the savage ice toad’s body melts into a puddle of acidic goo, leaving behind only its gear and its skeleton. Any living creature within a five foot radius of a melting savage ice toad is subject to the following... 1st Level Spell +75%; Acid Crit - this acid only affects living flesh. A pool of acid remains on the ground, taking up a space equal to the savage ice toad’s space while living - it deals acid damage to any creature that moves through the area. The acid dries to a harmless green powder over the course of one minute.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a savage ice toad must hit a Medium or smaller creature with its tongue attack. If it hits, the savage ice toad may make a grapple attack on the creature without provoking an attack of opportunity. If a hold is established, the savage ice toad drags its target to its mouth.

When the target reaches the toad's mouth, the toad may make a bite attack as a free action.

Savage ice toads also have improved grab with their bite attacks which functions in the same way as described above, except if it gets a hold, it can swallow whole.

Savage Fever (Su): Bite - injury; save Fort DC 17; onset 1 minute; frequency 1/day; effect 1d6 Int damage; cure 1 save. A victim’s flesh breaks out into a terrible black rash that causes short bony protrusions to extrude from the affected area and its mind grows more bestial. Once a victim’s Intelligence score becomes 0, it collapses into a coma-like state and transforms into a savage creature. Its Intelligence score now heals (up to its new maximum adjusted by the savage creature template) at the normal rate; when it awakens, it immediately seeks out fresh prey.

Sphere of Cold (Su): As a standard action, an ice toad can exude a sphere of numbing cold in a 10-foot radius from its body. Creatures within this radius are subject to the following attack... 2nd Level Spell +85%; Cold Critical. The save DC is Constitution-based. A savage ice toad can activate the sphere of cold every other round, starting in the first round of combat.

Swallow Whole (Ex): A savage ice toad can try to swallow a grabbed opponent that is at least two size categories smaller than it is (that is, Small or smaller). To swallow a creature, a savage ice toad must have established a hold via a grapple attack. Once inside, the opponent takes... Fall/Crush +81% (max Small, +Acid Crit). A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing weapon (1 handed slashing impose a -20%, 2 handed slashing can't be used) to kill the toad from the inside. A savage toad does not get a defensive bonus and its AT drops to 7.

A Large savage ice toad can hold one Small, two Tiny, four Diminutive, or eight Fine creatures in it gut.
