I'm, going to say this is under-CRed due to attack bonus and cone of (fire) as an ATTACK option (wow) though it doesn't have too many options, so that might even out. Still, the flavor here is delicious. The egg is bound to be killed pretty easily by any party that knows about it... maybe if the death throes knocked them back and prone, just to delay their attempts at stopping the revival. But, there I go, making this harder when I just said it was under-CR'ed. Anyway, I like this.

Attack Action

On second review, I still find 60d6 fire damage (admittedly split into four attacks) to basically everyone to be in excess. That action economy... -- Eiji-kun (talk) 08:10, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

This comes out to 210 damage on average in an AoE, and will one-shot squishes whose level equals this creature's CR. No bueno. An equal-level enemy is supposed to sap resources, not kill anyone. I second Eiji on this one. --Ghostwheel (talk) 09:43, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

I nerfed it a little, altough I disagree. Closet Trolls like Dire Tiger frequently kill squishy in one round, so does creature with the [Awesome] subtype. That said the fact this one flew fast and pierced all defense made me reconsider. --Leziad (talk) 13:08, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Wingover

...isn't needed, it has perfect maneuverability. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 05:49, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
