Bezravnis, the Inferno Below, is a fiery, three-tailed
scorpion-like beast of Colossal size.
Of the three kaiju introduced in the Bestiary
4, Bezravnis seems to owe the least to Saturday afternoon monster movie
source material, though its 20d6 heat beams will still feel familiar to fans of
kaiju flicks. Its burrowing charge
levels whole city blocks, and even the webs it leaves behind are dangerous (and
practically alive).
The Bestiary 4
offers plenty of hooks to snare PCs into a Bezravnis campaign, from a red comet
that wakes the kaiju every 273 years to warring city-states and cults seeking
to use the monster for their own ends.
Of course, you never really control a kaiju; you just aim it…if you’re
lucky. If you’re not, you’re the
first to burn.
A cruel tyrant is
raising taxes, regulating mages, and bringing the nation’s temples to
heel—all in the name of preparations for Inferno Season. Is he merely a despot using fear of a
kaiju as a shield? Or in deposing
him, do adventurers cost the nation its best chance against the fiery
Bezravnis?
A city has disappeared. What little remains is half-buried,
half-burned. Following a tunnel into
the earth leads the party to a similarly destroyed nation of drow, their faith
in their spider goddess shattered after watching so many of their fellows die
in the adversary’s living webs. In
between, there is only chaos—settlements of ghouls, pechs, and urdefhans thrown
into chaos by the strange fiery force.
Only after fighting crystal dragons newly risen as raveners does the
party come across the source of the devastation: Bezravnis in the heart of its
lair.
Bezravnis dwells in a
high desert plateau…and guards against another: the foul plateau of
Leng. When the strange denizens of
Leng conspire to bring more of their realm into this world, adventurers must
team up with servants of the Great Old Ones to call the Inferno Star early and
wake the kaiju—without losing their minds…or their souls…in the process.

I don't see Bezravnis in the OGC, so for full stats look in
the Bestiary 4 itself.
