Ahh, these guys.
Side note: If you spell the name even a little wrong, you can't find a thing about 'em on google.
I definitely like that this is a template, it makes sense.
Gigantism: Hmm. The legend superdave pointed out is the only one I've seen that mentions them changing size at will. As far as I was previously aware, they just grew larger as they ate more people. I shall ponder this.
War Shriek: Finger of Death is like a 7th level spell effect with some pretty massive damage. Making it target everyone in 60 feet is easily a 8th or 9th level effect, and making it at-will is way overboard. I can't find any myths relating to a negative energy or death effect tied to the scream, either. I would suggest having it deal a value of sonic damage/HD instead.
Regrowth: Wouldn't this just be a particularly annoying form of regeneration overcome by fire/acid? The all the different pieces regrowing thing would work if this was a specific monster, but how do you determine the stats of each piece? Are they identical to the main creature, just with reduced HD? Do they start at a different size? Do they have access to the base creature's full casting abilities?
Abilities: Caster level based increases seems very strange in my mind. Can you cite a source or explain your reasoning?
