Witnessing the might of the kaiju King Faloufalud, Alru, and Toraloa up close awoke a new ferocity within you. When you transform using Monstrosity Shape, you can take on a kaiju form. When you take this feat, choose acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic damage; this is the damage your breath weapon deals. You can't change this later.

- Kaiju Speed 40 feet; physical resistance 5; Melee jaws (reach <20 feet>), Damage 3d12+20 piercing; Melee claws (agile, reach <20 feet>), Damage 3d8+20 slashing; Breath Weapon (evocation, primal) Each creature in a 60-foot cone takes 15d6 damage (of your chosen damage type), with a basic Reflex save against your spell DC.

If you also know the ki blast ki spell, you can choose to deal either electricity or sonic damage with the spell instead of force while this effect is active (ki blast loses the force trait and gains the electricity or sonic trait instead). Any creature who successfully Grapples you or is successfully Grappled by you also takes this damage immediately after the Grapple check is resolved.

Rage of Elements, page 35.
Hefting Shadow
FEAT 9
Prerequisites Clever Shadow
Your shadow can contain objects. You can Interact with your shadow to store or retrieve objects, just like you would a mundane container (meaning you spend two Interact actions total to store and then retrieve the object, for example).

LOCG, page 14.
Hell of 1,000,000 Needles
FEAT 18
The landscape fills with monumental filaments of metal. The needles lance into a cube 30 feet on a side within 500 feet. Each creature in the area takes 13d6 piercing damage, with a basic Reflex save against your class DC. Each creature that fails its save is impaled, becoming immobilized until it Escapes (the DC is your class DC); a creature that critically failed is also off-guard as long as it's impaled. The hell remains until the end of your next turn, but you can Sustain it up to 1 minute. Using this impulse again ends any previous one. The first time you Sustain it each round, lightning crisscrosses the needles. Each creature in the area takes 3d12 electricity damage with a basic Reflex save against your class DC. Squares in the area are hazardous terrain. A creature takes 6 piercing damage for every square of the area it moves through.
