Statistics

 * CR 28/32/38 on Normal/Hard/Elite
 * Intimidate DC: 50/52/56 Normal/Hard/Elite, size penalty -12, -16 for halflings
 * 69/75/80 required for no fail on Normal/Hard/Elite. For halflings you have to add 4, because of size penalty.
 * note that no fail is not that important compared to other raids
 * Saves (Normal): Fort 30+, Reflex 30+, Will - Unknown due to her magic immunity


 * Bees of Xoriat: "Bees of Xoriat are driving you mad, inflicting piercing damage over time, rendering you unable to concentrate or cast spells, giving you a penalty to attack rolls, and possibly pollinating you."
 * About 1,000 damage per minute reported, Generally 25-45 per tic, every 2 seconds (reflex save negates - DC between 34-40 on Normal, higher on Hard/Elite)
 * Pollen Of Madness: "You've been covered in the POLLEN OF MADNESS. It burns the eyes, infliction penalties to spot, concentration, and attack rolls. You receive occasional reflex saves to clear your eyes."
 * "Burns the eyes" = Blindness (reflex save negates - DC between 34-40 on Normal, higher on Hard/Elite)
 * Other attacks:
 * Acid Breath: Roughly 15-25 damage every 2 seconds, for 45 seconds
 * Melee: Generally minimal damage in comparison to bees, 30-60 per hit
 * Overrun
 * Horrid Wilting: ~150 damage, fortitude save for half

Special Qualities

 * Massive Damage Reduction (likely 1000+ DR/- or DR/Baby Hound)
 * Immunity to all Elemental damage
 * Immunity to Magic (all magic, even Disintegrate)
 * Immunity to weapon procs
 * The damage reduction drops once she reaches 25% HP. Tho she keeps some: Around 15/20/30 DR/Lawful for Normal/Hard/Elite)
 * Immunity to magic also drops, but not immunity to elemental damage, so wizards and sorcerers do not contribute much damage.
 * Disintegrate works - but her Fortitude save prevents it from dealing much damage.

(The Bees of Xoriat ability is a reference to The Simpsons animated series where Homer Simpson wonders if Mr. Burns' guard hounds launch bees out of their mouth when they attack.)
