=== Combat ===

'''{{Anchor|Poison}}:''' Injury, Fortitude DC 22, initial damage 2d6 Con and Nauseated 1 minute, secondary damage 3d6 Con. The DC is Constitution-based.

'''{{Anchor|Poison Darts}} ([[Ex]]):''' Nidoking can fire small venomous barbs up to 30 feet away. These regrow every day, allowing up to 4 to be fired per day.

'''{{Anchor|Poison Point}} ([[Ex]]):''' Anyone who strikes a Nidoking with an unarmed or natural weapon attack, or grapples/is grappled by one, takes one point of damage and must save against its [[#Poison|poison]].

'''''{{Anchor|Substitute}}'' ([[Sp]]):''' Nidoking can cast ''[[SRD:Mirror Image|mirror image]]'' at will and ''[[SRD:Simulacrum|simulacrum]]'' once per day.

'''{{Anchor|Flamethrower}} ([[Su]]):''' A Nidoking's flamethrower attack strikes in a 40-ft. line or 20-ft. cone and deals 1d6 fire damage per HD (maximum 20d6); this fire is hot enough to deal full damage to objects. Creatures in the area may halve the damage on a successful reflex save DC 10 + Nidoking's Charisma modifier + ½ Nidoking's Hit Dice. Nidoking may not use Flamethrower for d4 +1 rounds after having used it. The Sample Nidoking's Flamethrower attack inflicts 12d6 fire damage with a save DC of 21.

'''{{Anchor|Stone Edge}} ([[Su]]):''' Nidoking can cast ''[[SRD:Spike Stones|spike stones]]'' at will.

'''{{Anchor|Sandstorm}} ([[Su]]):''' As a Standard action, Nidoking can summon a sandstorm, as per the ''sandstorm''<ref>[[Publication:Sandstorm|Sandstorm]]</ref> spell.

'''{{Anchor|Egg Move}}:''' Nidoking inherits the special power it had as a Nidorino:
*Charm Person -> ''[[SRD:Charm Monster|charm monster]]'' at will as a spell-like ability
*'''Beat Up ([[Ex]]):''' Nidoking and all allies within 10 feet gain +1 to hit and +1d6 damage for every ally adjacent to their target.
*Lesser Confusion -> ''[[SRD:Confusion|confusion]]'' at will as a spell-like ability
