A blue dragon's lackeys typically don't even realize that they serve a dragon, but instead think the protection money, tariffs, or taxes they are amassing is treasure for a cruel but legitimate master. In some ways, blue dragons even see their servants as a living hoard and value them like treasure. These dragons have been known to use these tactics even with their own chromatic cousins. - - - - - Not all blue dragons work clandestinely. Some lord over desert tribes and hill people like vengeful gods, demanding both tribute and worship. No matter how blue dragons manage their underlings, their bearing is regal and their lairs palatial; they're universally intolerant of insubordination, incompetence, and embezzlement, and punish perpetrators with murderous efficiency. - - - - - Blue dragons are also known for their use and mastery of illusion magic. They make use of illusions to augment their manipulations and bewilder their foes in battle. Blue dragons also have some control over water, but use this ability to destroy water, something quite dangerous for those who encounter them in their desert lairs. - - - - - The ideal lair for a blue dragon contains multiple passages, rooms, and secret chambers. As social creatures, blue dragons prefer to host guests in comfort—but their dwellings should not be so public that just anyone can come calling. A force of guards keeps out intruders, and clever illusions conceal the edifice from prying eyes. Rather than a pile of coins or gems, a blue dragon's true hoard is the rich furnishings in its citadel— expensive art, ornate furniture, and architectural marvels. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 31 - level: 13 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Huge - traits: - - LE - - Huge - - Dragon - - Electricity - senses: - - Perception +24 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Auran - - Common - - Draconic - - Jotun - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 26 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 26 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - perception: 24 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: 4 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - - name: Sound Imitation - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The dragon can mimic any sound it has heard.

They particularly enjoy conversations with humans and other civilized humanoids, delighting in the naive customs of these diminutive races without showing them haughtiness or scorn. While they may seem merely curious, brass dragons engage in this sort of conversation with the goal of keeping up to date on regional politics so they can anticipate future conflicts. Along the way, they create extensive information networks that begin with their own allies but stretch across all levels of humanoid society—networks which the brass dragon then uses to subtly assist settlements near their lair. Unlike the schemes and manipulations of blue dragons, brass dragons use their informant networks to establish justice and equality. - - - - - These carefree dragons value independence and feel that all creatures deserve to live as they please, provided they don't harm others. They are emotional creatures and tend to have short attention spans, sometimes falling victim to depression in their twilight years. To combat this, some brass dragons keep pets and houseplants that they can care for. - - - - - Though they may seem childlike in their curiosity concerning mortal affairs, a brass dragon's prowess in battle is no laughing matter. A brass dragon whose territory or allies are threatened is a terrifying foe indeed, quick to shed their innocent guise and unleash their terrifying might upon evildoers. - - - - - Most brass dragons live in desert climates, and while they keep their lairs hidden, they often build near humanoid settlements. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 28 - level: 11 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CG - size: Large - traits: - - CG - - Large - - Dragon - - Fire - senses: - - Perception +21 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - - tremorsense (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - - Auran - - Common - - Draconic - - Gnomish - - Halfling - - Sylvan - - speak with animals - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - perception: 21 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 31 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 22 - fort_misc: - ref: 20 - ref_misc: - will: 21 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 215 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - fire - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 28 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 28 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

They care little for either good or evil. As they are both opinionated and willing to impose their sense of order on others, many brine dragons eventually seek to rule over a meticulously crafted community. These communities are orderly and well-planned, with rigid standards of courtesy and unchanging laws set down by the dragon themself. A settlement seeded by a brine dragon can be made of members of almost any ancestry, but the most common inhabitants are humans, merfolk, tengus, or sahuagin. - - - - - Depending on the dragon's personality, their community members might view their brine dragon ruler as anything from a benevolent force of order to a fearful tyrant. Regardless, the typical brine dragon has little patience for kindness or philanthropy, and the strength and health of their settlement as a whole are of greater concern than individuals' well-being. A notable exception to this dispassion rises when an outside force encroaches on their lands. In these cases, the brine dragon is quick to step in and aid in the defense of their community. - - - - - Although brine dragons enjoy cultivating settlements, they rarely make their lairs within the city limits, instead preferring to dwell in sea caves or cliffside grottoes overlooking the coastline. Here they can retreat for privacy as needed, or can accumulate and display their gathered wealth in a place where they feel safe spreading out their treasures. Brine dragon hoards often consist of a mix of offerings and taxes paid by those they rule over and strange discoveries salvaged from sunken ships. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 32 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Elemental__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 32 - level: 12 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: LN - size: Huge - traits: - - Uncommon - - LN - - Huge - - Amphibious - - Dragon - - Elemental - - Water - senses: - - Perception +23 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Aquan - - Common - - Draconic - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - perception: 23 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 3 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 6 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 33 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 25 - fort_misc: - ref: 20 - ref_misc: - will: 21 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 222 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - acid - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 30 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 30 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Cloud dragons range in color from light blue to a pale, milky white and have thick, curling horns and rather short snouts. They keep lairs among the extreme altitudes of the highest mountain peaks but are away on their many journeys as often as they're at home. Cloud dragons spend long hours surveying the lands they fly over from great heights, but they are creatures of whim, making it hard to predict what will pique their curiosity and bring them winging down to converse or investigate something on the ground. Cloud dragons seldom perform acts of outright malice, but they are not often charitable either. A cloud dragon is as likely to simply pluck something they desire off the ground and fly away with it as they are to bargain fairly. - - - - - A cloud dragon's ever-changing interests never seem to stray toward the complicated schemes and long-term plans of other dragons. These rovers are creatures of the moment, and although they are as mentally gifted as other true dragons, their interests remain in the here and now. Yet the cloud dragon's penchant for living in the moment is not a personality flaw—they're more than capable of anticipating long-term results of their actions and won't make foolish choices simply to pursue a current interest. At the same time, cloud dragons have little interest in worrying about the future and are as confident in their ability to handle tomorrow's problems as they are today's. - - - - - Cloud dragon hoards tend to be well-guarded or well-hidden, as a natural result of their roving habits often taking them away from their lairs for extended periods. Their treasuries include a wide variety of items—they are driven to gather a broad range of prizes rather than collecting one type of item intensively. To a cloud dragon, a diversified hoard is a perfect hoard. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 34 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Elemental__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 34 - level: 14 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Huge - traits: - - Uncommon - - N - - Huge - - Air - - Dragon - - Elemental - senses: - - Perception +28 - - darkvision - - mist vision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Auran - - Common - - Draconic - - Jotun - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 26 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 26 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 26 - misc: - perception: 28 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 4 - wis_mod: 6 - cha_mod: 6 - sense_abilities: - - name: Mist Vision - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Fog and mist don't impair a cloud dragon's vision; they ignore the __concealed__ condition from fog and mist. - raw_description: "**Mist Vision** Fog and mist don't impair a cloud dragon's vision; they ignore the __concealed__ condition from fog and mist." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 36 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 26 - fort_misc: - ref: 23 - ref_misc: - will: 26 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 254 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - electricity - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 32 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 32 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Copper dragons are hedonists who are quick to indulge in simple pleasures, but they're also sympathetic to other creatures, slow to pass judgment, and careful to always examine a situation from as many perspectives as possible. This philosophy has its drawbacks, however, as copper dragons are susceptible to negative influences and prone to forgiving the less serious evil acts performed by their chromatic cousins and other cruel creatures. Copper dragons also have a difficult time keeping their temper in check once they are roused to anger. - - - - - Copper dragons tend to lair in warm or temperate hills, but due to their nature, they move their lairs every few years. They sometimes live among other people, especially any dwarves who reside nearby. Some copper dragons even worship gods typically worshipped only by humanoids. Among these dragons, worship of Cayden Cailean is most popular, as they see his love of freedom and penchant for alcohol aligning with the typical copper dragon mindset. - - - - - A copper dragon's combat tactics are as unorthodox as its sense of humor, as it is more likely to use mockery and tricks than outright strength to win its battles. As a copper dragon ages, it perfects jokes capable of rendering its foes helpless with laughter. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 30 - level: 12 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CG - size: Large - traits: - - CG - - Large - - Dragon - - Earth - senses: - - Perception +23 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Elven - - Gnomish - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Crafting ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Performance ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - perception: 23 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: 4 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 33 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 23 - fort_misc: - ref: 22 - ref_misc: - will: 22 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 235 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - acid - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 29 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 29 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Their beauty is a source of great pride but is also something of a weakness, as crystal dragons are easily angered by insults about their appearance. Despite their relatively benign natures when compared to other true dragons, crystal dragons can be short tempered and prone to finding insults where none were intended. Although their opinions are changeable, crystal dragons prefer orderly environments and are not fond of sudden interruptions or distractions. - - - - - Crystal dragons build their lairs in underground grottoes, where they cultivate environments of great beauty. Their exacting standards and vivid imaginations mean that they are always working to improve the appearance or layout of some part of their lair. These lairs are unique to each individual crystal dragon, but there are always plenty of reflective surfaces that allow the dragon to observe their own appearance. These range from crystals to reflecting pools to finely crafted mirrors, which are arranged throughout the lair in a pleasing array. Gifts of well-crafted or magical mirrors are an excellent way to curry favor with a crystal dragon. - - - - - Although crystal dragons are easily distracted by their sparkling collections or their vanity, they remain good-hearted creatures at the core and make friends quickly. While a crystal dragon tends to find evil creatures uncouth and unpleasant, any other nearby denizen or inhabitant of their home could become fast friends or beloved pets, depending upon the creature's capacity for conversation (and for providing the frequent praise and compliments that crystal dragons hunger for). - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 30 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Elemental__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 30 - level: 11 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: NG - size: Huge - traits: - - Uncommon - - NG - - Huge - - Dragon - - Earth - - Elemental - senses: - - Perception +20 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - - tremorsense (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Terran - - Undercommon - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - perception: 20 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 33 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 24 - fort_misc: - ref: 19 - ref_misc: - will: 20 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 185 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: sonic - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 30 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 30 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

They command the unwavering reverence of all other metallic dragons, who view gold dragons as their leaders and counselors. Golds rival the raw power of even red dragons, much to the chagrin of their chromatic cousins, and the two races are often regarded as bitter rivals. But despite their incredible power, gold dragons are fond of discourse and prefer to talk through solutions to problems rather than rely upon brute strength. Long-lived as they are, they necessarily take a wide view of all situations and never act without considering all possible options and outcomes. Because of this, gold dragons willingly converse with any creature that seeks them out, even evil chromatic dragons. Mortals might find this behavior strange, considering the longstanding war between chromatic and metallic dragons, but dragons know all too well that desperate situations sometimes call for drastic alliances. And although gold dragons might consider brief truces with their chromatic brethren in the case of world-ending threats, they also know when such alliances have run their course. - - - - - When another metallic dragon faces a quandary or a foe beyond its own ability to overcome, its best option is often to seek the counsel of the eternally wise and gloriously righteous gold dragons. Locating these legendary beings is no easy task, however, for gold dragons are notoriously reclusive. Their intellect and wisdom is such that they prefer to ponder the great questions of life in seclusion, where they strive to formulate solutions to the world's most pressing problems. As a result, gold dragons are sometimes absent when metallic dragons gather together, or are missing from tribunals where their counsel would be beneficial. Impatient dragons sometimes begrudge gold dragons for this apparent unreliability, but such aspersions are usually a result of jealousy rather than any true criticism; in their hearts, other dragons know that few gold dragons purposefully exclude themselves from truly important matters. - - - A gold dragon's incredible foresight and unparalleled enlightenment means they are unlikely to interfere in the business of individual mortals, though the rare person who captures the attention of a gold dragon is fortunate indeed, for there are few beings in the cosmos who can offer such prudent and considerate advice. Rulers and individuals in stations of high power have an easier time of garnering the aid of a gold dragon; entire wars have been avoided thanks to a gold dragon's last-minute intermediation. - - - Gold dragons are often found in warm grasslands and savannas, lands where they can enjoy long, meditative flights without attracting the attention of potential enemies. They tend to sleep either out in the open in a barren, remote place, or within a heavily secreted or fortified lair, such as a forgotten sink hole or in the labyrinthine caverns of a terrestrial chasm. Gold dragons may enlist trusted servants and allies to guard their lairs, though many live truly solitary lives, preferring to protect their hoards with nonlethal traps and magical wards. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 34 - level: 15 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LG - size: Huge - traits: - - LG - - Huge - - Dragon - - Fire - senses: - - Perception +29 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Dwarven - - Elven - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 29 - misc: - - name: 'Medicine ' - bonus: 27 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 29 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 26 - misc: - perception: 29 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: 5 - wis_mod: 6 - cha_mod: 4 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 38 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 28 - fort_misc: - ref: 25 - ref_misc: - will: 28 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 330 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - fire - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 15 - type: cold - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 33 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 33 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

The key to understanding green dragons is to understand their obsession with knowledge and self-discipline. Any careful approach that takes advantage of a green dragon's fixations may end in a diplomatic outcome, but any misstep or slight can provoke a savage attack. Like most chromatic dragons, green dragons do not suffer fools—and the threshold for what they consider foolish is very low. - - - - - Though more open than their chromatic cousins to dealing with other creatures and dragons, green dragons prefer an isolated and quiet life. They tend to lair in the most forbidding parts of a forest, surrounded by tangled thickets, or else at the heart of some dismal gulch. If the terrain is suitable, some green dragons make their home in natural caves, which they expand to suit their needs. - - - - - Green dragons' pride leads them to see to the preservation of their forest homes. They feel that a verdant and lush forest is something that they alone have cultivated. This leads some green dragons to follow the path of druidism, though most prefer to study the arcane arts and occult lore. Most of them delve deeply into one particular field of study, and correspond with other scholars in the field by adopting a pen name that hides their true nature. Regardless of their chosen focus, green dragons seek to improve themselves, and their desire for knowledge makes them more likely to deal diplomatically with other creatures in order to obtain new information. - - - - - Their hoards are typically well kept, organized, and filled with tomes of lore and scrolls of magic along with antiquities they collect for their own inscrutable reasons. Many of these treasures come from across the globe, and many an adventurer has survived an encounter with a green dragon by stroking its ego and plying it with rare artifacts or lost lore from ancient cultures. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 30 - level: 12 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Huge - traits: - - LE - - Huge - - Amphibious - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +22 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Elven - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Occultism ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - perception: 22 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: 4 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 34 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 20 - fort_misc: - ref: 22 - ref_misc: - will: 23 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 215 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - paralyzed - - poison - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 31 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 31 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Red dragons see themselves as regents and overlords of all dragonkind. With their crowns of crimson spikes and their command of blistering frame, this is no haughty boast in their eyes—only unquestioned fact. - - - - - Red dragons don't deign to speak with lesser creatures; they simply dominate and burn, enslaving weaker creatures to act as servants and to look after their lairs while the dragons slumber away. They take pleasure in dominating these creatures, and they demand tribute from their supplicants. Those who anger or disappoint end up eaten or reduced to ash. They command their enslaved minions to constantly build onto their lairs, carving out new tunnels and designing cunning traps that ensure the dragon's security. - - - - - Driven by their arrogance, red dragons are the most likely of the chromatic dragons to ravage settlements. They want the world to see them in their rightful place as powerful tyrants, and they delight in threatening all other creatures. They have no qualms about bullying, manipulating, or killing to complete their goals—or simply intimidating others through a public display of brutality and dominance. - - - - - As legendary as the brutishness of red dragons is the magnificence of their hoards of gold. Their lairs are often situated in dangerous places, with volcanoes being a favorite spot, as they find them foreboding and the constant warmth is comfortable. No matter the locale, red dragons sleep on a litter of coins and other treasures, which they zealously guard. Sometimes, the dragon's internal heat causes these precious metals to fuse together. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 32 - level: 14 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Huge - traits: - - CE - - Huge - - Dragon - - Fire - senses: - - Perception +26 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - - smoke vision - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Dwarven - - Orcish - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 29 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 27 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - perception: 26 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: 3 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - - name: Smoke Vision - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Smoke doesn't impair a red dragon's vision; it ignores the concealed condition from smoke. - raw_description: "**Smoke Vision** Smoke doesn't impair a red dragon's vision; it ignores the concealed condition from smoke." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 37 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 28 - fort_misc: - ref: 25 - ref_misc: - will: 26 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 305 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - fire - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 15 - type: cold - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Dragon Heat - action_cost: None - traits: - - arcane - - aura - - evocation - - fire - description: 5 feet, 3d6 fire damage (DC 30 basic Reflex) - raw_description: '**Dragon Heat** (__arcane__, __aura__, __evocation__, __fire__); 5 feet, 3d6 fire damage (DC 30 basic Reflex)' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 33 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 33 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Although they typically make their lairs among the highlands, the pursuit of justice leads silver dragons to travel far and wide—often into the very heart of realms overrun by evil. These exemplars of righteousness are ceaseless in their determination to help the weak, spread honor, and stamp out evil. - - - - - Silver dragons are sleek and sinuous. Their hides resemble nothing so much as a suit of gleaming armor, lending further credence to the popular myth that silver dragons are the paladins of dragonkind. The zeal with which they seek out, confront, and defeat evil is unsurpassed even among their metallic cousins, and they adhere to strict codes of honor usually passed down from parent to hatchling. On occasion, they instead learn these codes from trusted mentors, usually other silver dragons or gold dragons. As they age, they become even more dedicated to their codes, often adding new and even more restrictive clauses to the systems that guide their behavior. - - - - - Silver dragons are incredibly altruistic and regularly consort with the citizens of goodly societies, of which they consider themselves protectors and guides. In addition to responding to evil threats, silver dragons work to prevent evil from taking root in the first place, and they ensure mortals under their care are well fed, educated, and treated with dignity. Although silver dragons can seem overzealous or even eager to join the fight against evil, they know that the best way to rid the world of corruption is to stamp out strife and disillusionment at their source, not to passively sit back and watch it grow into an unsolvable problem. Silver dragons can be vindictive, but they can also be forgiving; for evildoers who seek to atone for their sins and turn over a new leaf, the support of a silver dragon is both unwavering and invaluable. - - - - - Many silver dragons are also drawn to religious endeavors, venerating deities such as Iomedae, Sarenrae, and other deities concerned with justice, virtue, and redemption. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 32 - level: 14 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LG - size: Huge - traits: - - LG - - Huge - - Cold - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +26 - - darkvision - - fog vision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Aquan - - Common - - Draconic - - Dwarven - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 27 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 27 - misc: - - name: 'Medicine ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - perception: 26 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: 3 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - - name: Fog Vision - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The silver dragon ignores the concealed condition from fog and clouds. - raw_description: '**Fog Vision** The silver dragon ignores the concealed condition from fog and clouds.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 37 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 26 - fort_misc: - ref: 23 - ref_misc: - will: 28 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 295 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - cold - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: fire - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 33 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 33 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Their sleek black scales and serpentine grace allow them to strike from hiding, and they are known for playing with their prey before finally finishing it. These creatures of shadowy energy and unwholesome appetites prefer the necrotic flesh of undead creatures to any other meal. This strange hunger can be of accidental benefit to nearby humanoid societies, but ultimately they hunt and kill undead creatures for the taste, rather than out of any desire to protect others from the undead. The benefit is always short-lived, however. When umbral dragons exhaust their preferred prey, they turn on whatever living creatures happen to be nearby. Umbral dragons sometimes go to great lengths to obtain their favorite meals, even creating undead creatures that they then feast upon. - - - - - For all their power, umbral dragons are uninterested in fair battles. When faced with foes that pose any kind of actual danger to them, umbral dragons flee into the shadows and seek to strike back through pawns or minions rather than risk their own lives. Their treasure hoards are varied and diverse, often augmented by loot stolen from crypts the dragons have turned into feeding grounds. They have a strong respect for and interest in traditions and heirlooms, and they often seek to augment their hoards with items of great value that have been handed down through the generations of those whose corpses and ghosts they've fed upon. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 36 - level: 15 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Huge - traits: - - Uncommon - - NE - - Huge - - Dragon - - Shadow - senses: - - Perception +29 - - greater darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Necril - - Shadowtongue - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 31 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 27 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - perception: 29 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 8 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: 4 - wis_mod: 6 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 37 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 27 - fort_misc: - ref: 25 - ref_misc: - will: 27 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 275 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - negative - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 34 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 34 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Nearly all other dragons look down on white dragons as hopelessly hotheaded and dull, though this does not make them any less dangerous—in fact, it may mean the opposite. It's nearly impossible to treat with white dragons, not because they lack the capacity to do so, but because they just don't care to. They are as difficult to deal with as they are quick to anger, and they become incensed at almost anything. When a white dragon does speak, it spews threats, inane jokes, and incoherent babbling as a prelude to attacking—and when the attack comes, it's bloody and relentless. - - - - - Thankfully, white dragons prefer very cold, remote locations that are far from people. Dwelling on glacial mountaintops or in ice caverns beneath forbidding tundra, they treat the lands around them as their own personal hunting grounds. They fly out to feed or terrorize other creatures, especially those who trespass near the dragon's territory, then bring any treasure back to be displayed in icy niches in their lairs. They collect all kinds of valuables, with a slight preference for items with high utility—such as tools, trade goods, and fine food—over coins or jewels. The ability to shape ice lets white dragons rearrange their lairs exactly to their specifications, and they take great pride in how they've decorated their homes over the years. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 27 - level: 10 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Large - traits: - - CE - - Large - - Cold - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +20 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - - snow vision - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - perception: 20 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 1 - sense_abilities: - - name: Snow Vision - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Snow doesn't impair a white dragon's vision; it ignores concealment from snowfall. - raw_description: "**Snow Vision** Snow doesn't impair a white dragon's vision; it ignores concealment from snowfall." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 29 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 22 - fort_misc: - ref: 19 - ref_misc: - will: 17 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 215 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - cold - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: fire - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Dragon Chill - action_cost: None - traits: - - arcane - - aura - - cold - - evocation - description: 5 feet, 2d6 cold damage (DC 27 basic Reflex) - raw_description: '**Dragon Chill** (__arcane__, __aura__, __cold__, __evocation__); 5 feet, 2d6 cold damage (DC 27 basic Reflex)' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 27 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 27 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

A clever and stealthy hunter, the ahuizotl lures unwary prey to their doom by mimicking the cries of people in distress. The ahuizotl's macabre habit of feeding on a victim's eyes, fingernails, and teeth leaves the corpses of its kills uniquely mutilated. Some say the creatures consider these body parts delicacies, while others insist ahuizotls collect them as tribute to a powerful but unknown entity. The fact that an ahuizotl does not eat the actual flesh of its victims, instead depositing their savaged and waterlogged corpses in locations where the remains are sure to be found by friends or family, points to a third and perhaps more likely possibility—the ahuizotl simply enjoys using its violent dietary quirks to spread fear and despair. - - - - - An ahuizotl walks on all fours, but its hands are capable of manipulating simple tools and other objects. Ahuizotls have roughly mustelid features and an extra membrane covering their eyes, giving their eyes a dull color suggestive of cataracts and somewhat blunting the creature's vision. Yet despite their bestial appearance, ahuizotls are nearly as intelligent as the average human, and wiser than most. Although they don't form societies of their own, they have been known to ally with violent cults or conclaves of monsters, and even to found small shrines and temples to sinister deities. The cult of Charon, the horseman of Death, is particularly popular among certain ahuizotls, who look forward to an afterlife spent wallowing in the waters of the River Styx. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 24 - level: 6 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Large - traits: - - Uncommon - - NE - - Large - - Amphibious - - Beast - senses: - - Perception +13 - - darkvision - languages: - - Aklo - - Common - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 15 - misc: +19 when using Voice Imitation - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - perception: 13 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: -1 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - - name: Voice Imitation - action_cost: None - traits: - description: An ahuizotl can mimic the sounds of a person in distress by attempting a __Deception__ check to __Lie__.

Their hatred for other creatures is as acidic as their breath weapons, and they rarely tolerate even other dragons of their kind—except perhaps to mate or temporarily collaborate to take down a mutual enemy. - - - - - Black dragons are amphibious—although they breathe air, their gills also allow them to breathe water.

The floors are littered with rotting meat, and plundered treasures line the muck and slime of their dank caves amid twisted roots and creepers. Such places are often crawling with pests, snakes, and slimes. Though they claim natural caverns when they can, they make do with areas of dense, twisted vegetation within a swamp.

Their brand of evil is organized, manipulative, and regal. Blue dragons often lair near or within cities and set out to bend the population to their will and gather hordes of servants. These dragons love spinning webs of conspiracy. A blue dragon's lackeys typically don't even realize that they serve a dragon, but instead think the protection money, tariffs, or taxes they are amassing is treasure for a cruel but legitimate master. In some ways, blue dragons even see their servants as a living hoard and value them like treasure. These dragons have been known to use these tactics even with their own chromatic cousins. - - - - - Not all blue dragons work clandestinely. Some lord over desert tribes and hill people like vengeful gods, demanding both tribute and worship. No matter how blue dragons manage their underlings, their bearing is regal and their lairs palatial; they're universally intolerant of insubordination, incompetence, and embezzlement, and punish perpetrators with murderous efficiency. - - - - - Blue dragons are also known for their use and mastery of illusion magic. They make use of illusions to augment their manipulations and bewilder their foes in battle. Blue dragons also have some control over water, but use this ability to destroy water, something quite dangerous for those who encounter them in their desert lairs. - - - - - The ideal lair for a blue dragon contains multiple passages, rooms, and secret chambers. As social creatures, blue dragons prefer to host guests in comfort—but their dwellings should not be so public that just anyone can come calling. A force of guards keeps out intruders, and clever illusions conceal the edifice from prying eyes. Rather than a pile of coins or gems, a blue dragon's true hoard is the rich furnishings in its citadel— expensive art, ornate furniture, and architectural marvels. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 40 - level: 18 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Huge - traits: - - Uncommon - - LE - - Huge - - Dragon - - Electricity - senses: - - Perception +31 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Auran - - Common - - Draconic - - Ignan - - Infernal - - Jotun - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 33 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 35 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 35 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 33 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 35 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 29 - misc: - perception: 31 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: 7 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 7 - sense_abilities: - - name: Sound Imitation - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The dragon can mimic any sound it has heard.

They particularly enjoy conversations with humans and other civilized humanoids, delighting in the naive customs of these diminutive races without showing them haughtiness or scorn. While they may seem merely curious, brass dragons engage in this sort of conversation with the goal of keeping up to date on regional politics so they can anticipate future conflicts. Along the way, they create extensive information networks that begin with their own allies but stretch across all levels of humanoid society—networks which the brass dragon then uses to subtly assist settlements near their lair. Unlike the schemes and manipulations of blue dragons, brass dragons use their informant networks to establish justice and equality. - - - - - These carefree dragons value independence and feel that all creatures deserve to live as they please, provided they don't harm others. They are emotional creatures and tend to have short attention spans, sometimes falling victim to depression in their twilight years. To combat this, some brass dragons keep pets and houseplants that they can care for. - - - - - Though they may seem childlike in their curiosity concerning mortal affairs, a brass dragon's prowess in battle is no laughing matter.

They care little for either good or evil. As they are both opinionated and willing to impose their sense of order on others, many brine dragons eventually seek to rule over a meticulously crafted community. These communities are orderly and well-planned, with rigid standards of courtesy and unchanging laws set down by the dragon themself. A settlement seeded by a brine dragon can be made of members of almost any ancestry, but the most common inhabitants are humans, merfolk, tengus, or sahuagin. - - - - - Depending on the dragon's personality, their community members might view their brine dragon ruler as anything from a benevolent force of order to a fearful tyrant. Regardless, the typical brine dragon has little patience for kindness or philanthropy, and the strength and health of their settlement as a whole are of greater concern than individuals' well-being. A notable exception to this dispassion rises when an outside force encroaches on their lands. In these cases, the brine dragon is quick to step in and aid in the defense of their community. - - - - - Although brine dragons enjoy cultivating settlements, they rarely make their lairs within the city limits, instead preferring to dwell in sea caves or cliffside grottoes overlooking the coastline. Here they can retreat for privacy as needed, or can accumulate and display their gathered wealth in a place where they feel safe spreading out their treasures. Brine dragon hoards often consist of a mix of offerings and taxes paid by those they rule over and strange discoveries salvaged from sunken ships. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 41 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Elemental__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 41 - level: 17 - rarity: Rare - type: Creature - alignment: LN - size: Gargantuan - traits: - - Rare - - LN - - Gargantuan - - Amphibious - - Dragon - - Elemental - - Water - senses: - - Perception +32 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Aquan - - Common - - Draconic - - Sylvan - - Utopian - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 32 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 32 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 34 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 30 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 30 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 29 - misc: - perception: 32 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 9 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: 5 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 6 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 40 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 31 - fort_misc: - ref: 30 - ref_misc: - will: 30 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 330 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - acid - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 36 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 36 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Cloud dragons range in color from light blue to a pale, milky white and have thick, curling horns and rather short snouts. They keep lairs among the extreme altitudes of the highest mountain peaks but are away on their many journeys as often as they're at home. Cloud dragons spend long hours surveying the lands they fly over from great heights, but they are creatures of whim, making it hard to predict what will pique their curiosity and bring them winging down to converse or investigate something on the ground. Cloud dragons seldom perform acts of outright malice, but they are not often charitable either. A cloud dragon is as likely to simply pluck something they desire off the ground and fly away with it as they are to bargain fairly. - - - - - A cloud dragon's ever-changing interests never seem to stray toward the complicated schemes and long-term plans of other dragons. These rovers are creatures of the moment, and although they are as mentally gifted as other true dragons, their interests remain in the here and now. Yet the cloud dragon's penchant for living in the moment is not a personality flaw—they're more than capable of anticipating long-term results of their actions and won't make foolish choices simply to pursue a current interest. At the same time, cloud dragons have little interest in worrying about the future and are as confident in their ability to handle tomorrow's problems as they are today's. - - - - - Cloud dragon hoards tend to be well-guarded or well-hidden, as a natural result of their roving habits often taking them away from their lairs for extended periods. Their treasuries include a wide variety of items—they are driven to gather a broad range of prizes rather than collecting one type of item intensively. To a cloud dragon, a diversified hoard is a perfect hoard. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 44 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Elemental__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 44 - level: 19 - rarity: Rare - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Gargantuan - traits: - - Rare - - N - - Gargantuan - - Air - - Dragon - - Elemental - senses: - - Perception +34 - - darkvision - - mist vision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Auran - - Common - - Draconic - - Jotun - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 35 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 38 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 34 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 34 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 36 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 32 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 35 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 36 - misc: - perception: 34 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 9 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 7 - int_mod: 5 - wis_mod: 7 - cha_mod: 7 - sense_abilities: - - name: Mist Vision - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Fog and mist don't impair a cloud dragon's vision; they ignore the __concealed__ condition from fog and mist. - raw_description: "**Mist Vision** Fog and mist don't impair a cloud dragon's vision; they ignore the __concealed__ condition from fog and mist." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 44 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 36 - fort_misc: - ref: 32 - ref_misc: - will: 34 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 355 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - electricity - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 40 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 40 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Copper dragons are hedonists who are quick to indulge in simple pleasures, but they're also sympathetic to other creatures, slow to pass judgment, and careful to always examine a situation from as many perspectives as possible. This philosophy has its drawbacks, however, as copper dragons are susceptible to negative influences and prone to forgiving the less serious evil acts performed by their chromatic cousins and other cruel creatures. Copper dragons also have a difficult time keeping their temper in check once they are roused to anger. - - - - - Copper dragons tend to lair in warm or temperate hills, but due to their nature, they move their lairs every few years. They sometimes live among other people, especially any dwarves who reside nearby. Some copper dragons even worship gods typically worshipped only by humanoids. Among these dragons, worship of Cayden Cailean is most popular, as they see his love of freedom and penchant for alcohol aligning with the typical copper dragon mindset. - - - - - A copper dragon's combat tactics are as unorthodox as its sense of humor, as it is more likely to use mockery and tricks than outright strength to win its battles.

Despite their relatively benign natures when compared to other true dragons, crystal dragons can be short tempered and prone to finding insults where none were intended. Although their opinions are changeable, crystal dragons prefer orderly environments and are not fond of sudden interruptions or distractions. - - - - - Crystal dragons build their lairs in underground grottoes, where they cultivate environments of great beauty. Their exacting standards and vivid imaginations mean that they are always working to improve the appearance or layout of some part of their lair. These lairs are unique to each individual crystal dragon, but there are always plenty of reflective surfaces that allow the dragon to observe their own appearance. These range from crystals to reflecting pools to finely crafted mirrors, which are arranged throughout the lair in a pleasing array. Gifts of well-crafted or magical mirrors are an excellent way to curry favor with a crystal dragon. - - - - - Although crystal dragons are easily distracted by their sparkling collections or their vanity, they remain good-hearted creatures at the core and make friends quickly. While a crystal dragon tends to find evil creatures uncouth and unpleasant, any other nearby denizen or inhabitant of their home could become fast friends or beloved pets, depending upon the creature's capacity for conversation (and for providing the frequent praise and compliments that crystal dragons hunger for). - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 40 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Elemental__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 40 - level: 16 - rarity: Rare - type: Creature - alignment: NG - size: Gargantuan - traits: - - Rare - - NG - - Gargantuan - - Dragon - - Earth - - Elemental - senses: - - Perception +28 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - - tremorsense (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Celestial - - Common - - Draconic - - Terran - - Undercommon - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 33 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 29 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 29 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 27 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 26 - misc: - perception: 28 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 9 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: 5 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 7 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 42 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 30 - fort_misc: - ref: 27 - ref_misc: - will: 29 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 275 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 15 - type: sonic - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Extra Reaction - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The dragon gains 2 reactions at the start of each of their turns. - raw_description: '**Extra Reaction** The dragon gains 2 reactions at the start of each of their turns.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 37 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 37 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

They command the unwavering reverence of all other metallic dragons, who view gold dragons as their leaders and counselors. Golds rival the raw power of even red dragons, much to the chagrin of their chromatic cousins, and the two races are often regarded as bitter rivals. But despite their incredible power, gold dragons are fond of discourse and prefer to talk through solutions to problems rather than rely upon brute strength. Long-lived as they are, they necessarily take a wide view of all situations and never act without considering all possible options and outcomes. Because of this, gold dragons willingly converse with any creature that seeks them out, even evil chromatic dragons. Mortals might find this behavior strange, considering the longstanding war between chromatic and metallic dragons, but dragons know all too well that desperate situations sometimes call for drastic alliances. And although gold dragons might consider brief truces with their chromatic brethren in the case of world-ending threats, they also know when such alliances have run their course. - - - - - When another metallic dragon faces a quandary or a foe beyond its own ability to overcome, its best option is often to seek the counsel of the eternally wise and gloriously righteous gold dragons. Locating these legendary beings is no easy task, however, for gold dragons are notoriously reclusive. Their intellect and wisdom is such that they prefer to ponder the great questions of life in seclusion, where they strive to formulate solutions to the world's most pressing problems. As a result, gold dragons are sometimes absent when metallic dragons gather together, or are missing from tribunals where their counsel would be beneficial. Impatient dragons sometimes begrudge gold dragons for this apparent unreliability, but such aspersions are usually a result of jealousy rather than any true criticism; in their hearts, other dragons know that few gold dragons purposefully exclude themselves from truly important matters. - - - - - A gold dragon's incredible foresight and unparalleled enlightenment means they are unlikely to interfere in the business of individual mortals, though the rare person who captures the attention of a gold dragon is fortunate indeed, for there are few beings in the cosmos who can offer such prudent and considerate advice. Rulers and individuals in stations of high power have an easier time of garnering the aid of a gold dragon; entire wars have been avoided thanks to a gold dragon's last-minute intermediation. - - - - - Gold dragons are often found in warm grasslands and savannas, lands where they can enjoy long, meditative flights without attracting the attention of potential enemies. They tend to sleep either out in the open in a barren, remote place, or within a heavily secreted or fortified lair, such as a forgotten sink hole or in the labyrinthine caverns of a terrestrial chasm. Gold dragons may enlist trusted servants and allies to guard their lairs, though many live truly solitary lives, preferring to protect their hoards with nonlethal traps and magical wards. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 42 - level: 20 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: LG - size: Gargantuan - traits: - - Uncommon - - LG - - Gargantuan - - Dragon - - Fire - senses: - - Perception +36 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 80 feet - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Dwarven - - Elven - - Gnomish - - Jotun - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 29 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 31 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 35 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 35 - misc: - - name: 'Medicine ' - bonus: 36 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 36 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 35 - misc: - perception: 36 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 9 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 8 - int_mod: 7 - wis_mod: 8 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 46 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 37 - fort_misc: - ref: 34 - ref_misc: - will: 39 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 450 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - fire - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 20 - type: cold - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 39 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 39 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

The key to understanding green dragons is to understand their obsession with knowledge and self-discipline. Any careful approach that takes advantage of a green dragon's fixations may end in a diplomatic outcome, but any misstep or slight can provoke a savage attack. Like most chromatic dragons, green dragons do not suffer fools—and the threshold for what they consider foolish is very low. - - - - - Though more open than their chromatic cousins to dealing with other creatures and dragons, green dragons prefer an isolated and quiet life. They tend to lair in the most forbidding parts of a forest, surrounded by tangled thickets, or else at the heart of some dismal gulch. If the terrain is suitable, some green dragons make their home in natural caves, which they expand to suit their needs. - - - - - Green dragons' pride leads them to see to the preservation of their forest homes. They feel that a verdant and lush forest is something that they alone have cultivated. This leads some green dragons to follow the path of druidism, though most prefer to study the arcane arts and occult lore. Most of them delve deeply into one particular field of study, and correspond with other scholars in the field by adopting a pen name that hides their true nature. Regardless of their chosen focus, green dragons seek to improve themselves, and their desire for knowledge makes them more likely to deal diplomatically with other creatures in order to obtain new information. - - - - - Their hoards are typically well kept, organized, and filled with tomes of lore and scrolls of magic along with antiquities they collect for their own inscrutable reasons. Many of these treasures come from across the globe, and many an adventurer has survived an encounter with a green dragon by stroking its ego and plying it with rare artifacts or lost lore from ancient cultures. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 38 - level: 17 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Gargantuan - traits: - - Uncommon - - LE - - Gargantuan - - Amphibious - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +30 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Abyssal - - Common - - Draconic - - Elven - - Jotun - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 32 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 30 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 27 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 31 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 31 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Occultism ' - bonus: 34 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 31 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 29 - misc: camouflage - perception: 30 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 6 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 6 - sense_abilities: - - name: Camouflage - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The dragon can Hide in natural environments even if it doesn't have cover. - raw_description: "**Camouflage** The dragon can Hide in natural environments even if it doesn't have cover." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 41 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 30 - fort_misc: - ref: 29 - ref_misc: - will: 32 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 315 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - paralyzed - - poison - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 37 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 37 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

As with all true dragons, magma dragons keep hoards of treasure, but the nature of their searing lairs limits the type of valuables they collect to metals, gems, and items capable of resisting the heat of a volcano's core. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 43 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Elemental__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 43 - level: 18 - rarity: Rare - type: Creature - alignment: CN - size: Gargantuan - traits: - - Rare - - CN - - Gargantuan - - Dragon - - Elemental - - Fire - senses: - - Perception +33 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Ignan - - Terran - - Undercommon - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 36 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 34 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 29 - misc: - perception: 33 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 8 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: 4 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 6 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 42 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 34 - fort_misc: - ref: 30 - ref_misc: - will: 31 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 390 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - fire - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 15 - type: cold - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 37 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 37 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

They take pleasure in dominating these creatures, and they demand tribute from their supplicants. Those who anger or disappoint end up eaten or reduced to ash. They command their enslaved minions to constantly build onto their lairs, carving out new tunnels and designing cunning traps that ensure the dragon's security. - - - - - Driven by their arrogance, red dragons are the most likely of the chromatic dragons to ravage settlements. They want the world to see them in their rightful place as powerful tyrants, and they delight in threatening all other creatures. They have no qualms about bullying, manipulating, or killing to complete their goals—or simply intimidating others through a public display of brutality and dominance. - - - - - As legendary as the brutishness of red dragons is the magnificence of their hoards of gold. Their lairs are often situated in dangerous places, with volcanoes being a favorite spot, as they find them foreboding and the constant warmth is comfortable.

These exemplars of righteousness are ceaseless in their determination to help the weak, spread honor, and stamp out evil. - - - - - Silver dragons are sleek and sinuous. Their hides resemble nothing so much as a suit of gleaming armor, lending further credence to the popular myth that silver dragons are the paladins of dragonkind. The zeal with which they seek out, confront, and defeat evil is unsurpassed even among their metallic cousins, and they adhere to strict codes of honor usually passed down from parent to hatchling. On occasion, they instead learn these codes from trusted mentors, usually other silver dragons or gold dragons. As they age, they become even more dedicated to their codes, often adding new and even more restrictive clauses to the systems that guide their behavior. - - - - - Silver dragons are incredibly altruistic and regularly consort with the citizens of goodly societies, of which they consider themselves protectors and guides. In addition to responding to evil threats, silver dragons work to prevent evil from taking root in the first place, and they ensure mortals under their care are well fed, educated, and treated with dignity. Although silver dragons can seem overzealous or even eager to join the fight against evil, they know that the best way to rid the world of corruption is to stamp out strife and disillusionment at their source, not to passively sit back and watch it grow into an unsolvable problem. Silver dragons can be vindictive, but they can also be forgiving; for evildoers who seek to atone for their sins and turn over a new leaf, the support of a silver dragon is both unwavering and invaluable. - - - - - Many silver dragons are also drawn to religious endeavors, venerating deities such as Iomedae, Sarenrae, and other deities concerned with justice, virtue, and redemption. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 41 - level: 19 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: LG - size: Gargantuan - traits: - - Uncommon - - LG - - Gargantuan - - Cold - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +32 - - darkvision - - fog vision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Aquan - - Common - - Draconic - - Dwarven - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 27 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 38 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 34 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 37 - misc: - - name: 'Medicine ' - bonus: 33 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 32 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 30 - misc: - perception: 32 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 9 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 5 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 7 - sense_abilities: - - name: Fog Vision - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The silver dragon ignores the concealed condition from fog and clouds. - raw_description: '**Fog Vision** The silver dragon ignores the concealed condition from fog and clouds.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 45 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 34 - fort_misc: - ref: 31 - ref_misc: - will: 34 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 410 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - cold - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 15 - type: fire - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 40 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 40 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Their sleek black scales and serpentine grace allow them to strike from hiding, and they are known for playing with their prey before finally finishing it. These creatures of shadowy energy and unwholesome appetites prefer the necrotic flesh of undead creatures to any other meal. This strange hunger can be of accidental benefit to nearby humanoid societies, but ultimately they hunt and kill undead creatures for the taste, rather than out of any desire to protect others from the undead. The benefit is always short-lived, however. When umbral dragons exhaust their preferred prey, they turn on whatever living creatures happen to be nearby. Umbral dragons sometimes go to great lengths to obtain their favorite meals, even creating undead creatures that they then feast upon. - - - - - For all their power, umbral dragons are uninterested in fair battles. When faced with foes that pose any kind of actual danger to them, umbral dragons flee into the shadows and seek to strike back through pawns or minions rather than risk their own lives. Their treasure hoards are varied and diverse, often augmented by loot stolen from crypts the dragons have turned into feeding grounds. They have a strong respect for and interest in traditions and heirlooms, and they often seek to augment their hoards with items of great value that have been handed down through the generations of those whose corpses and ghosts they've fed upon. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 45 - level: 20 - rarity: Rare - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Gargantuan - traits: - - Rare - - NE - - Gargantuan - - Dragon - - Shadow - senses: - - Perception +36 - - greater darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - - tremorsense (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Common - - Daemonic - - Draconic - - Necril - - Shadowtongue - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 33 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 38 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 34 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 36 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 34 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 35 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 34 - misc: - perception: 36 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 10 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 7 - int_mod: 6 - wis_mod: 8 - cha_mod: 6 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 45 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 35 - fort_misc: - ref: 33 - ref_misc: - will: 38 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 375 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - negative - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 40 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 40 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Nearly all other dragons look down on white dragons as hopelessly hotheaded and dull, though this does not make them any less dangerous—in fact, it may mean the opposite. It's nearly impossible to treat with white dragons, not because they lack the capacity to do so, but because they just don't care to. They are as difficult to deal with as they are quick to anger, and they become incensed at almost anything. When a white dragon does speak, it spews threats, inane jokes, and incoherent babbling as a prelude to attacking—and when the attack comes, it's bloody and relentless. - - - - - Thankfully, white dragons prefer very cold, remote locations that are far from people. Dwelling on glacial mountaintops or in ice caverns beneath forbidding tundra, they treat the lands around them as their own personal hunting grounds. They fly out to feed or terrorize other creatures, especially those who trespass near the dragon's territory, then bring any treasure back to be displayed in icy niches in their lairs. They collect all kinds of valuables, with a slight preference for items with high utility—such as tools, trade goods, and fine food—over coins or jewels. The ability to shape ice lets white dragons rearrange their lairs exactly to their specifications, and they take great pride in how they've decorated their homes over the years. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 36 - level: 15 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Huge - traits: - - Uncommon - - CE - - Huge - - Cold - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +30 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - - snow vision - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Jotun - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 31 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 26 - misc: - perception: 30 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 8 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 7 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - - name: Snow Vision - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Snow doesn't impair a white dragon's vision; it ignores concealment from snowfall. - raw_description: "**Snow Vision** Snow doesn't impair a white dragon's vision; it ignores concealment from snowfall." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 36 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 30 - fort_misc: - ref: 26 - ref_misc: - will: 24 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 330 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - cold - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 15 - type: fire - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Blizzard - action_cost: None - traits: - - arcane - - aura - - cold - description: 50 feet.

In most cases, these fragments simply disperse on their own, but when dreamers flee from nightmares back to the waking world, these fragments can take on a supernatural life of their own. They have little reasoning and intent except to seek similar fragments, absorb them, and grow. When enough of them gather together, they merge into a horrific form as an animate dream. - - - - - Individually, animate dreams can hold a wide range of appearances, but most take on rudimentary shapes akin to the living forms of the minds that spawned them. Animate dreams that rise from slumbering humanoids, the most commonly encountered, thus appear humanoid, but with distorted, nightmarish shapes that incorporate additional twisted limbs and frightening features. In these forms, animate dreams find their way out of the Dreamlands and into the waking world, only to discover they have no way of returning and suffer a relentless hunger that only new nightmares can sate. - - - - - An animate dream thrives on the terror fueled by nightmares and fear and uses its supernatural abilities to invoke such feelings in the minds of its victims, cursing its prey by creating a permanent link to that individual's dreams. Thereafter, the victim is subjected to all manner of reoccurring nightmares. As the nightmares continue, the victim finds it more and more difficult to remain awake. In the end, the victim plunges into an accursed slumber from which it cannot return. These victims provide the animate dream with the purest form of fear and are its preferred sustenance. - - - - - An animate dream can subsist on the ambient fear generated by regular nightmares, but these lesser fears aren't as satisfying, often driving the animate dream to seek out new victims. Left without a source of fear, an animate dream won't starve to death, but it will grow increasingly violent and desperate. Famished animate dreams are the ones most often encountered, as they have been forced to abandon subtlety to pursue more blatant methods of harvesting fear.

Those who have grown metaphysically fat on fear have generally done so by adopting a specific nightmare theme, such as being buried alive, being swept away by ocean waves, or being consumed by wild beasts.

Rather than consuming creatures directly, it creates its own fertilizer by entangling prey and squeezing the life from it. Once the plant has killed a creature, it pulls the carcass over to its roots to feed from the decaying flesh. Although an assassin vine lacks eyes, it can detect and track prey through a combination of using its root systems to detect vibrations through topsoil and its leaves to detect heat changes in the vicinity. Although the assassin vine has no real intelligence, its learned behaviors mimic those of cunning ambush hunters. - - - - - As it is slow moving, the assassin vine typically remains rooted in a single area for as long as it has sufficient prey. Though most often found along woodland trails or swamps, these plants can also be encountered in more rural settlements, poorly tended fields, and vineyards. While assassin vines can't be trained in the classical sense, they can be used as defenses, and woodland-dwelling creatures like goblins and fey have been known to cultivate assassin vines as guardians for less-used routes into their lairs. In such cases, the tenders often seek to make the path more obvious than its disuse would otherwise suggest, while simultaneously working to ensure the bones of the vines' victims are removed to keep their presence a secret, resulting in what appears to be an easy approach to the den but is actually an organic ambush. - - - - - Mature assassin vines grow to 20 feet long and have smaller vines extending off the main trunk that reach from to 5 to 10 feet in length. The smallest of these vines sprout every 6 inches or so; they tend to grow clusters of full leaves and occasionally bear small berries. A recently fed assassin vine can have bunches of plump, blood-red berries that are juicy and tart but leave a slightly unpleasant iron aftertaste, as if from the faint taste of blood from a bitten lip. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Plant__ (__Nature__)**: DC 18 - level: 3 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - N - - Large - - Mindless - - Plant - senses: - - Perception +10 - - tremorsense 30 feet - - low-light vision - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 9 - misc: +11 in forests or grasslands - perception: 10 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 0 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: -5 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - - name: Camouflage - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The assassin vine can __Hide__ in natural environments even if it doesn't have cover. - raw_description: "**Camouflage** The assassin vine can __Hide__ in natural environments even if it doesn't have cover." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 18 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 10 - fort_misc: - ref: 7 - ref_misc: - will: 8 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 68 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - weaknesses: - - amount: 5 - type: fire - - amount: 5 - type: slashing - automatic_abilities: - - name: Grasping Foliage - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - - primal - - transmutation - description: - raw_description: '**Grasping Foliage [Reaction]** (__primal__, __transmutation__) **Trigger **The assassin vine detects a creature within 20 feet via __tremorsense__; **Effect **The assassin vine causes vegetation within a 20-foot emanation to writhe for 1 round, turning this area into difficult terrain.

After a few weeks of harassing, capturing, and torturing victims, the athach bores of their games. The giant then goes on a final rampage, destroying every dwelling and eating every creature they can find. Sometimes, the giant allows a survivor or two to escape, forcing these terrified victims to spend the rest of their lives spreading word of the athach's fearsomeness. - - - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Humanoid__ (__Society__)**: DC 30 - level: 12 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Huge - traits: - - CE - - Huge - - Giant - - Humanoid - senses: - - Perception +22 - - darkvision - languages: - - Jotun - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - perception: 22 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 7 - int_mod: -1 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 33 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 25 - fort_misc: - ref: 20 - ref_misc: - will: 21 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 250 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - weaknesses: - - amount: 10 - type: cold iron - automatic_abilities: - - name: Attack of Opportunity - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: An athach gains an extra reaction at the start of each of its turns that it can use only to make an Attack of Opportunity with its claw.

Standing at 14 feet in height, only the cruelest mortal souls—those who devoted entire lives to sins too numerous to count—can fuel the formation of a balor. More often, a balor forms from a mass of dozens of mortal souls who shared debased ideologies in life. \n\n## Balor Lords\n\n Those rare few balors who form from single souls are the ones most likely to eventually transcend the notable power they already wield, becoming a nascent demon lord.

Others spawn from elves whose treacherous deeds shortly before their deaths left a stain upon their souls. Regardless of their origin, banshees despise the living. This hatred of life is all too often a horrific inversion of their personalities in life. Some speculate that the more kind-hearted the elf (and the more wrenching the betrayal), the crueler the banshee. - - - - - Banshees rarely stray far from where they perished and typically haunt thick forests and canopied swamps where little light graces the ground. Many banshees can be found in the elven nation of Kyonin, specifically in Tanglebriar, the sinister domain of the demon Treerazer. Similarly, a large number of banshees can be found lurking about the edges of drow settlements in the Darklands, as plenty of cruelty and betrayal exists in drow culture. - - - - - Banshees' mere touch inflicts pain and primal fear, and those exposed to their wails of grief rarely survive the experience. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Spirit__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 38 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Undead__ (__Religion__)**: DC 38 - level: 17 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Medium - traits: - - Uncommon - - CE - - Medium - - Incorporeal - - Spirit - - Undead - senses: - - Perception +32 - - hears heartbeats (imprecise) 60 feet - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - - Elven - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 31 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 32 - misc: - - name: 'Occultism ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - perception: 32 - ability_mods: - str_mod: -5 - dex_mod: 6 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 0 - wis_mod: 7 - cha_mod: 7 - sense_abilities: - - name: Hears Heartbeats - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The banshee can hear heartbeats within 60 feet (imprecise). - raw_description: '**Hears Heartbeats** The banshee can hear heartbeats within 60 feet (imprecise).' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Sunlight Powerlessness - action_cost: None - traits: - description: If in direct sunlight, the banshee is slowed 1 and can't use actions that have the attack trait. - raw_description: "**Sunlight Powerlessness** If in direct sunlight, the banshee is slowed 1 and can't use actions that have the attack trait." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 39 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 25 - fort_misc: - ref: 29 - ref_misc: - will: 32 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 250 - hp_misc: negative healing - immunities: - - disease - - paralyzed - - poison - - precision - - unconscious - resistances: - - amount: 12 - type: all damage (except force - - amount: - type: ghost touch - - amount: - type: or positive - - amount: - type: double resistance vs. non-magical) - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Vengeful Spite - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - - evocation - - occult - description: - raw_description: "**Vengeful Spite** [Reaction] (__evocation__, __occult__); **Trigger** A foe critically hits the banshee, or the banshee critically fails their save against a foe's damaging effect. **Effect** The banshee lashes back at their tormentor, dealing 4d10+14 mental damage (DC 38 basic Will save) and applying the effects of terrifying touch based on the results of the same Will save." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: A foe critically hits the banshee, or the banshee critically fails their save against a foe's damaging effect. - effect: The banshee lashes back at their tormentor, dealing 4d10+14 mental damage (DC 38 basic Will save) and applying the effects of terrifying touch based on the results of the same Will save. - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - speed: - - amount: 60 - type: fly - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: hand - to_hit: 32 - traits: - - finesse - - magical - damage: - formula: 4d10+14 - type: negative - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: terrifying touch - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Spectral Ripple - action_cost: None - traits: - description: When a banshee Strides at least 10 feet, they're concealed until the start of their next turn. - raw_description: "**Spectral Ripple** When a banshee Strides at least 10 feet, they're concealed until the start of their next turn." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Terrifying Touch - action_cost: None - traits: - - emotion - - enchantment - - fear - - occult - description: A creature damaged by the banshee's touch that isn't already __frightened__ must attempt a DC 38 Will save (DC 43 if the attack was a critical hit).

Folklore holds that, much like for the cockatrice, the first basilisks hatched from leathery eggs laid by snakes and incubated by roosters, but little in the basilisk's physiology lends any credence to this claim. - - - - - A basilisk prefers to eat petrified flesh. Once a victim has been turned to stone, the basilisk crunches the fossilized corpse with its powerful jaws and lets its potent stomach acids do the rest. This digestive process is extremely slow and inefficient, causing the basilisk to move so lethargically that it appears as if in mid-petrification itself. This has even led to the saying "as slow as a well-fed basilisk." Certainly basilisks are well-known for their slow gait and slothful nature, but a predator that can turn its prey to stone with a glance hardly has much need for speed. - - - - - An adult basilisk is 13 feet long from head to tail and weighs roughly 300 pounds. These reptiles make hissing sounds when moving about that turns to a guttural gurgle when they're agitated. Though they are normally solitary creatures that come together only to mate and lay eggs, there are periodic reports of regions being infested with unusual numbers of basilisks. What causes these unusual congregations of basilisk activity is unknown. - - - - - For unknown reasons, weasels and ferrets are immune to the basilisk's stare, and they sometimes sneak into basilisk lairs while a parent is hunting in order to consume eggs or freshly hatched young. Some legends suggest that a basilisk's blood can transmute common stones into other material, but this is likely a case of witnesses misinterpreting the magical restoration of previously petrified creatures or body parts. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 20 - level: 5 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - N - - Medium - - Beast - senses: - - Perception +11 - - darkvision - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - perception: 11 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: -1 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: -3 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 1 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 22 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 14 - fort_misc: - ref: 8 - ref_misc: - will: 11 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 75 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Petrifying Glance - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - - arcane - - aura - - transmutation - - visual - description: - raw_description: "**Petrifying Glance** [Reaction] (__arcane__, __aura__, __transmutation__, __visual__); **Trigger** A creature within 30 feet that the basilisk can see starts its turn. **Effect** The target must attempt a DC 20 Fortitude save.

Over the course of weeks or months, it establishes itself as a key member of the village, and only after it has become invaluable to the community does it reveal the terrible price of its assistance: regular offerings of flesh and gold. From this point on, the bida dwells almost exclusively within its smoggy lair, growing fat off the blood of its sacrificial offerings. To hide its presence from the outside world, a bida conceals its enslaved settlement in a large-scale illusion, leaving only a stand of jungle trees where once a thriving village may have been and ordering the townsfolk to destroy any roads in and out of town. - - - - - Bidas begrudgingly tolerate others of their kind, instead preferring the company of their small, tasty thralls.

Their eyes emit a soft glow at all times, but a blindheim can draw back the heavy membrane that normally covers them to emit an intense light as bright as day. These simple creatures use their lights to draw in or disorient prey, mostly small animals like lizards, rodents, or fish. However, they might go after larger prey if trying to feed their young. When they encounter creatures their own size or larger they retreat, flashing their eyes to facilitate their escape if necessary. They often hunt in pairs or small packs. Using their lights to coordinate from a distance, they slowly close in on the creatures they hunt. One common hunting pattern involves one blindheim diving deep and using its light to chase fish to the surface, while another up above snatches them up and tosses them onto the land to eat later. - - - - - Blindheims make their nests in damp caverns, especially grottoes next to underground lakes or bogs. An ideal nest rests in a cozy cavern with plenty of fungus to eat, a few fish swimming in a lake, and the comforting drip of water from the ceiling. Blindheims prefer to lead quiet and serene lives, and even when first born they emit only the meekest of vocalizations. A blindheim is born shining, and its parents cuddle over it to dim the light so as to avoid attracting predators. - - - - - It's not just animals that endanger blindheims. Underground peoples find the creatures useful and attempt to capture them for specialized purposes. __Duergars__ use them as "raid frogs," placing heavy hoods over blindheims' heads and revealing them suddenly during raids to blind their foes. They sometimes send the creatures along with their slaves that lack darkvision into the mines as a source of light. __Drow__ use them for some of these same purposes, and some nobles have been known to treat the creatures as mere lanterns, having them hoisted to the ceilings of their halls. Neither duergars nor drow take good care of the captive creatures, so blindheims rarely last long in captivity. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 16 - level: 2 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Small - traits: - - N - - Small - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +9 - - darkvision - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 6 - misc: +9 to Leap or Swim - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - perception: 9 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 2 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: -2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 18 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 9 - fort_misc: - ref: 9 - ref_misc: - will: 5 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 27 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - blinded - - light - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - - amount: 15 - type: climb - - amount: 15 - type: swim - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws - to_hit: 10 - traits: - damage: - formula: 1d12+2 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: claw - to_hit: 11 - traits: - - agile - - finesse - damage: - formula: 1d8+2 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Spotlight - action_cost: One Action - traits: - - concentrate - - light - description: "Bright light shines from the blindheim's eyes in a 30-foot emanation (also creating dim light to 60 feet).

Yet their intelligent eyes and the blue nimbus of energy that dances across their fur hint at not only the blink dog's inherent intelligence, but also of their connection to the occult energies and mysteries that hide beyond the sight of the untrained eye. These honorable creatures are as intelligent as most humanoids. They live and hunt in large packs, roaming forests, plains, and the hidden places of the world in hunt for evil creatures—particularly those that dwell in the depths of the __Ethereal Plane__. - - - - - Unless acting in concert with specific allies who have proven that their goals are shared, blink dogs tend to avoid other creatures if at all possible. Their packs are constantly on the move and hidden from those that would seek them out. But in times of need, they have been known to come to the rescue of villages and lost travelers. While they have no innate ability to travel to the Ethereal Plane for extended periods of time, all blink dogs constantly shimmer and ripple between the __Material Plane__ and the Ethereal. They do their best to use their ability to blink to snatch glimpses into the Ethereal Plane and keep track of potential threats that might be building there, but in practice this tactic yields more of a constant stream of hunches and estimations of Ethereal-based threats. Of course, to a blink dog, this constant state of flux is as natural as breathing. - - - - - Pack leadership always falls to a pair—an elder blink dog (called an alpha) who relies upon the valued guidance of a trusted pack mate (the sage). Honor and tradition are keystones of blink dog society. They are fiercely loyal, defending the pack or creatures they befriend to the death and maintaining oaths handed down from litter to litter. Though different packs hold different traditions and oaths, their connection through the tales and stories told among their kind and the shared experience of the movement of stars above weave all blink dogs into an extended family, a great pack. Through their myths and folklore, blink dogs have names for celestial phenomena, note births under auspicious stars, and read omens from unusual stellar conjunctions. These celestial signs are woven into blink dogs' lifeways; their names contain a reference to the specific constellation under which they were born, and a pack's sage watches the heavens for signs to help them decide when a pup is old enough for their first hunt. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 18 - level: 2 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: LG - size: Medium - traits: - - Uncommon - - LG - - Medium - - Beast - senses: - - Perception +8 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - perception: 8 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 1 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 18 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 8 - fort_misc: - ref: 10 - ref_misc: - will: 11 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 30 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 35 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws (agile, finesse - to_hit: 11< - traits: - damage: - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - - name: Occult Innate Spells - dc: 18 - to_hit: - misc: - spell_groups: - - level: 4 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: dimension door - frequency: - requirement: - - level: -1 - heightened_level: 4 - spells: - - name: blink - frequency: - requirement: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Pack Attack - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The blink dog's Strikes deal an additional 1d4 damage to creatures within the reach of at least two of the blink dog's allies. - raw_description: "**Pack Attack** The blink dog's Strikes deal an additional 1d4 damage to creatures within the reach of at least two of the blink dog's allies." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: -- name: Blizzardborn - source: - - abbr: Bestiary 2 - page_start: 115 - page_stop: - description: >- - Freezing and thawing in a near-constant loop, blizzardborn resemble humanoid forms composed of a mixture of partially melted snow and sleet.

The species originated from a type of large feral boar native to Nidal's shadowy Uskwood, and blood boars retain their predecessors' gray fur, red eyes, and exceptional senses.

While from a distance, a blood boar might be mistaken for an ordinary pig, up close the differences are stark. Blood-red eyes, ashen fur, and unnaturally sharp tusks frame hundreds of pounds of raw muscle, the veins of which can be seen through the boar's ghastly pale flesh. Chains, manacles, and spikes are typical blood boar accessories, ensuring the boars are as fearsome as possible. - - - - - A blood boar's ability to track its quarry using only the scent of the target's blood has been the bane of many thieves, brigands, and the occasional illicit lover, but none have as much cause to fear the beasts as slaves in pursuit of freedom. Even washing off spilled blood does nothing to deter the blood boar's pursuit if it already has the scent.

Farmers curse the creatures for sucking their livestock dry. It is from such beleaguered people that the bloodseeker's regional name "stirge," possibly a corruption of the word "scourge," comes. Folk wisdom holds that the appearance of bloodseekers in a region signals a healthy herd of livestock, but more often it means bogs or old buildings that haven't been properly tended to. Certainly, no amount of folksy parable can assuage a farmer driven to destitution by a bloodseeker infestation. But despite their role as parasites, bloodseekers aren't hated by all villages. In some cases, the inhabitants of remote backwoods thorps even keep the things as pets or use them as doubtful medicinal "tools" to drain away unwanted humors or test for evil spirits possessing the blood. Worshippers of gods of pestilence and parasites often view bloodseekers as sacred to their faith and allow the creatures to feed freely from their bodies. In such societies, those who accidentally give too much are considered to have been "blessed" by the village's hungry god. - - - - - Bloodseekers seem to be constantly hungry, but they are not inherently malevolent. They can be scared away fairly easily and prefer to swiftly retreat rather than risk death. Some adventurers report that these creatures can be scared away by waving torches at the flying pests. However, bloodseekers are much bolder when encountered in larger numbers, as bringing down one victim lets an entire colony feed. Bloodseeker colonies are called clots, for obvious and disgusting reasons. If a lone bloodseeker finds a likely victim while its clot is nearby, it emits a high-pitched, keening noise to summon reinforcements. - - - - - Most humanoids avoid bloodseekers, but boggards sometimes cultivate bloodseeker nests around the perimeter of their territory. These colonies serve as a deterrent to intruders, and the boggards sometimes check for bloodseeker prey, collecting the hides or bodies of animals killed by the pests. Meals prepared from slain bloodseekers that have gorged on the blood of specific creatures are a staple among certain boggard communities. The boggards not only eat the actual bloodseekers, but they also make a gelled slurry from the drained blood. - - - - - A typical bloodseeker is about a foot long, with mottled, reddish-brown skin and a yellow underbelly. Its four wings resemble bat wings. When gorged with blood, the creature becomes bloated and pink, and it tends to wobble unsteadily in the air as it ies off to digest its meal. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 13 - level: -1 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Tiny - traits: - - N - - Tiny - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +6 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - perception: 6 - ability_mods: - str_mod: -4 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 0 - int_mod: -5 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: -2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 16 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 5 - fort_misc: - ref: 8 - ref_misc: - will: 4 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 6 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 10 - type: Land - - amount: 30 - type: fly - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: barbed leg - to_hit: 8 - traits: - - finesse - damage: - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Attach - action_cost: None - traits: - description: When a bloodseeker hits a target larger than itself, its barbed legs attach it to that creature.

Less powerful than their more notorious artificially preserved kin, bog mummies are preserved not by agents introduced during rituals but by the natural elements present in the airless, acidic morass of a peat bog or muddy swamp. While corpses preserved in this manner can certainly rise from the mire as bog mummies as the result of a curse by fell powers or the directed influence of a necromancer, the vast majority of them animate from a seething need for vengeance or to pursue some dire agenda left unfinished at the time of death—often because the creature was slain or otherwise betrayed. The nature of this emotional tie to life and the emotional power of the deceased compel unlife beyond death, while the preservative qualities of the bog within which the body was disposed of does the rest. - - - - - Although most bog mummies are motivated by vengeance, many fulfill their dark yearnings with general violence. Filled with wrath and hatred for the living, they mercilessly attack any living creatures that dare to venture into their dismal domains. Their agonized moans echo over their putrid homes, driving away most natural life dwelling therein and often alerting travelers to the potential danger that lies beneath the surface. - level: 5 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Medium - traits: - - Uncommon - - LE - - Medium - - Mummy - senses: - - Perception +12 - - darkvision - - tremorsense (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - - Common - - Necril - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 12 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 11 - misc: +13 while buried in a bog - perception: 12 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 0 - int_mod: 0 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 21 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 13 - fort_misc: - ref: 9 - ref_misc: - will: 14 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 85 - hp_misc: negative healing - immunities: - - death effects - - disease - - paralyzed - - poison - - unconscious - resistances: - - amount: 5 - type: fire - weaknesses: - - amount: 5 - type: cold - automatic_abilities: - - name: Breath of the Bog - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - divine - - enchantment - - mental - description: 30 feet.

In addition, each member of the community is expected to develop a skill that contributes to the community's prosperity, and by extension, the continued survival of the species.

They have little interest in worshipping gods or being worshipped themselves, yet they do practice strange forms of religion of their own, in which they consider the primordial forces of deep space as worthy of faith and fear. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 26 - level: 8 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Large - traits: - - Uncommon - - CE - - Large - - Aberration - senses: - - Perception +18 - - darkvision - languages: - - Abyssal - - Aklo - - Common - - Draconic - - Protean - - Undercommon - - telepathy 100 feet - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Lore ' - bonus: 18 - misc: all subcategories - - name: 'Occultism ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - perception: 18 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 4 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 26 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 15 - fort_misc: - ref: 13 - ref_misc: - will: 18 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 140 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - confused - resistances: - - amount: - type: brain loss - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Brain Blisters - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A brain collector has seven brain blisters on its back that it uses to house stolen brains.

Often attired in clothes that appear to be made of plants or leaves, brownies wear belts lined with pouches and tools. Whatever language they choose to speak is often is riddled with odd pronunciations and colloquialisms. Their manner of speaking might call upon turns of phrase that are decades or even centuries out of vogue, for example, or they might mix up their metaphors in strange ways. It almost seems as if brownies adopt these quirky ways of speaking intentionally—certainly they do not react favorably to corrections to their chatter. There's often no swifter way to annoy a brownie than to try to correct its grammar. Brownies stand barely 2 feet tall and weigh about 20 pounds. - - - - - When facing danger, brownies rarely engage in combat, preferring instead to confound and confuse their attackers in order to buy enough time for escape. Content with honest toil and the love of their kin, brownies maintain a pacifist nature, harassing creatures only to run them off or punish them for an insult. Despite this nature, all brownies carry a blade. They refer to their swords with a hint of disgust, and jokingly call their blades their "final trick," reserving their use for the direst of circumstances. - - - - - Honest to a fault, brownies take freely but always repay their debt through work or leave something behind as an offering. They may eat an apple from a farmer's orchard but harvest the entire tree as repayment. A brownie might eat an entire pie left on a windowsill, only to straighten up the kitchen or wash the dishes. A brownie can share a home with a family for years and years while avoiding detection. A family that is aware of a brownie in their midst usually finds this a beneficial relationship and leaves dishes of milk, pieces of fruit, trinkets, and sometimes even wine as gifts. In exchange, the resident brownie keeps the home clean, mends clothes, repairs tools, and shoos away vermin and small predators. Bragging about having a brownie in the house is the best way to lose one. Brownies distrust foxes and fear __wolves__, and they avoid farms with dogs. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fey__ (__Nature__)**: DC 15 - level: 1 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Tiny - traits: - - N - - Tiny - - Fey - senses: - - Perception +7 - - low-light vision - languages: - - Common - - Elven - - Gnomish - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Crafting ' - bonus: 5 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - perception: 7 - ability_mods: - str_mod: -2 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 1 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - - shortsword - ac: 16 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 4 - fort_misc: - ref: 9 - ref_misc: - will: 9 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 25 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - weaknesses: - - amount: 3 - type: cold iron - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 20 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: shortsword - to_hit: 7 - traits: - - agile - - finesse - damage: - formula: 1d6 - type: - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - - name: Primal Innate Spells - dc: 17 - to_hit: - misc: - spell_groups: - - level: 4 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: dimension door - frequency: self only - requirement: - - level: 3 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: mending - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 1 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: ventriloquism - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 0 - heightened_level: 4 - spells: - - name: dancing lights - frequency: - requirement: - - name: prestidigitation - frequency: - requirement: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Baffling Bluff - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - - emotion - - enchantment - - mental - - primal - description: "The brownie's antics can confuse and disorient a creature.

As they jaunt through the forest, the bugul noz sings an eerie tune to alert others to their presence and deter these creatures from looking upon them. The bugul noz does not, after all, want to harm anyone; they are inherently kind, if unpredictable, and if they accidentally kill a creature out of panic or confusion, they grieve. A bugul noz who roams the same road long enough compiles a long list of such accidental victims, and they might carry the corpses off to a single mass grave deep in the forest.

When they burrow through the ground, only the fin of their thickly armored backs protrudes above—at least until they are ready to leap out and strike their prey. Their appearance, appetite, and iconic dorsal fin have earned the nickname "landshark." - - - - - A typical bulette claims a territory of approximately 500 square miles. When it finds an area rich in food, such as a farming village, it adds that area to its regular patrol route. Over the course of a few months, it can wipe entire settlements off the map. Bulettes are fiercely competitive creatures that battle relentlessly with other predators in their territory. They actively avoid contact or conflict with other members of their kind unless seeking a mate. Bulette pairs share territory and mate for life—a mated pair of bulettes being the only known exception to the creature's penchant for solitude. They rear their young for a short period of time. The mated pair instruct the young bulette how to hunt, teaching their spawn which creatures are easiest to kill and which creatures to avoid. The mated pair drive off their young after its first successful hunt. - - - - - The first bulettes were magically created guardians, intended to serve as frightening pets for a power-hungry and sadistic wizard. The technique for their creation, as well as their original purpose, has since been lost to history, and multiple conflicting accounts of ancient texts exist with dozens of wizards claiming to have been the first inventor of the notorious beast. Some sages postulate that the original inventor may have been an elf—a theory born out of little more than the curious fact that bulettes, for all their ravenous nature, seem to find elf flesh unpalatable. Unfortunately for elves who stumble into a bulette's path, bulettes are no less likely to kill them than any other intruder, simply leaving the bodies unconsumed where they fall. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 24 - level: 8 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Huge - traits: - - N - - Huge - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +16 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - perception: 16 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: -2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 30 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 20 - fort_misc: - ref: 16 - ref_misc: - will: 14 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 120 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 40 - type: Land - - amount: 30 - type: burrow - - amount: - type: powerful jumper - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: Jaws - to_hit: 21 - traits: - damage: - formula: 2d10+10 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: Claw - to_hit: 21 - traits: - - agile - damage: - formula: 2d8+10 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Favored Prey - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A bulette gains a +1 circumstance bonus to attack and damage rolls with its jaws against a specific type of creature designated as its favorite food.

Found in freshwater inlets or saltwater coves worldwide, bunyips hunt where prey is plentiful, often to the consternation of coastal residents and fisherfolk. - - - - - Despite their outlandish appearance and tendency to defend their territory with loud, bellowing roars that echo for great distances, bunyips are very rarely sighted by humanoids, leaving many to question their existence. For hundreds of years, bunyips were widely regarded as nothing more than folk tales, and even now that their existence as a species has been proven, the existence of any particular bunyip in a local area is often met with heavy skepticism. While their limited shapechanging abilities are no doubt a significant part of the reason for this air of mystery, another major factor is that the aquatic creatures rarely hunt humanoids, preferring to eat smaller animals. Most bunyips avoid human contact, except when one wanders too close to their den or favorite hunting spot, at which point the territorial bunyip attacks with swift and terrible ferocity. Many scholars agree that a large number of unexplained disappearances near coastal areas are the result of unreported bunyip aggression. - - - - - In some ports, bunyips have learned that delicious prizes can be had from the chum and garbage discarded by fishing boats and merchant vessels. They lurk close to the shore and carefully choose their victims, plucking them off docks and small boats. These bunyips are particularly careful to keep their true forms hidden, but this does little to dull rumors of monster-infested waters. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 18 - level: 3 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - N - - Medium - - Animal - - Aquatic - senses: - - Perception +10 - - blood scent - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 100 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 10 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - perception: 10 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: -1 - sense_abilities: - - name: Blood Scent - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The bunyip can smell blood in the water from up to 1 mile away. - raw_description: '**Blood Scent** The bunyip can smell blood in the water from up to 1 mile away.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 19 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 9 - fort_misc: - ref: 12 - ref_misc: - will: 6 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 45 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Aquatic Opportunity - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: As Attack of Opportunity, but both the bunyip and the triggering creature must be in water. - raw_description: '**Aquatic Opportunity** [Reaction] As Attack of Opportunity, but both the bunyip and the triggering creature must be in water.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - speed: - - amount: 10 - type: Land - - amount: 40 - type: swim - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: Jaws - to_hit: 11 - traits: - damage: - formula: 1d10+4 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: 1d6 - type: persistent bleed damage - - action_cost: One Action - name: Tail - to_hit: 11 - traits: - - agile - damage: - formula: 1d8+4 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Blood Frenzy - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: '**Blood Frenzy** [Reaction] **Requirements** The bunyip is not __fatigued__ or already in a frenzy. **Trigger** The bunyip deals __bleed damage__ to a living creature. **Effect** The bunyip flies into a frenzy that lasts 1 minute.

Cauthoojs stalk the perimeter of remote settlements in hopes of finding a lone traveler they can feast upon. These patient creatures will wait in ambush as long as they must to sate their hunger. They can even understand a few rudimentary words in Sylvan, although they are incapable of clearly speaking themselves. This doesn't stop the cauthooj from attempting to mimic the sounds it hears, but when it does so, its eerie primal nature enhances the attempt, leading to the bird's signature ability to manipulate minds and encourage conflict, a trait the cauthooj is just barely smart enough to understand—and enjoy. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 30 - level: 12 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - N - - Medium - - Beast - senses: - - Perception +22 - - thoughtsense (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Sylvan - - (can't speak any language) - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - perception: 22 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 7 - int_mod: -3 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - - name: Thoughtsense - action_cost: None - traits: - - divination - - mental - - occult - description: The cauthooj senses a creatures mental essence at the listed ranged. - raw_description: '**Thoughtsense** (__divination__, __mental__, __occult__) The cauthooj senses a creatures mental essence at the listed ranged.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 33 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 25 - fort_misc: - ref: 20 - ref_misc: - will: 18 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 215 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: 15 - type: sonic - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Hop-Dodge - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - - move - description: - raw_description: '**Hop-Dodge** [Reaction] (__move__) **Trigger** The cauthooj is the target of a melee Strike and is adjacent to another enemy that is also within the reach of the melee Strike. **Effect** The cauthooj nimbly hops aside, redirecting the triggering Strike against the adjacent enemy.

They are typically reclusive but haughty, quick to assume that their handsome physiques and long history of cultural traditions make them superior to any two-legged folk they encounter. While stories of bloody clashes between centaurs and humanoid settlers are well known, centaurs are neither intrinsically bloodthirsty nor recklessly aggressive. Rather, they are proud and stubborn and do not take kindly to outsiders who encroach on their ancestral grounds, some of which have been ruled by centaurs for thousands of years. Against despoilers of nature who fail to heed their warnings, centaurs do not hesitate to use their finely honed hunting skills to inflict deadly wounds. - - - - - Centaurs train with weapons as well as their heavy hooves, and the thunder of centaurs charging across the plains is often mistaken for a stampede or even an earthquake. Despite their insular nature, some centaurs form close alliances with elves, fey, gnomes, and isolated human communities. Such allies are often surprised to learn the depths of centaurs' honor, pragmatism, and wilderness lore. Rarely, a centaur leaves its tribe to travel the wider world. Such lone centaur wanderers more easily integrate into humanoid societies, but other centaurs are quick to assume that some dishonor led to their exile and thus give such vagabonds a wide berth. - - - - - Centaurs have incredible variation in their individual size and coloration. Their upper bodies are fairly similar within a tribe and even region, but their lower bodies—like those of horses—can vary widely from parent to child. Most centaurs are at least 7 feet tall and weigh more than 2,000 pounds. - - - - - Centaurs live in groups of dozens of members, usually led by an old, powerful seer or battle-hardened warrior who has carried out many noble deeds and earned a lifetime of respect from their comrades. The revered leader guides the habits of their entire group; a wise seer might encourage the tribe to roam far from civilization to preserve the ways of its ancestors, while an aggressive warrior might foster skirmishes with nearby humanoid settlements and even rival centaur groups. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 18 - level: 3 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - N - - Large - - Beast - senses: - - Perception +9 - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - - Elven - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - perception: 9 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 1 - int_mod: 0 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 1 - sense_abilities: - items: - - breastplate - - longsword - - spear (3) - - steel shield (Hardness 5, HP 20, BT 10) - ac: 20 - ac_special: - - descr: 22 with shield raised - saves: - fort: 8 - fort_misc: - ref: 9 - ref_misc: - will: 9 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 40 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Shield Block - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: "**Shield Block** [Reaction] **Trigger** While you have your shield raised, you would take damage from a physical attack. **Effect** You snap your shield in place to ward off a blow.

The strange little aberrations prefer to pick off weak and solitary creatures, especially those that wander off from their packs or communities. A choker's long, spongy arms are flexible but deceptively strong. The fingers can tighten rapidly and are ridged with spiky, tooth-like structures that provide an incredible grip. A choker typically strangles its prey to death, then drags the body off or dismembers it using crude tools if the body is too big to carry. If confronted or outnumbered, a choker tries to escape, often compressing into a tight passage to get away. Chokers that encounter humanoids exhibit intense curiosity about their culture, society, and the products of art and industry. This interest isn't very deep—it just results in chokers that like killing people and collecting any of their items that seem sophisticated, such as jewelry, nice clothing, or written texts. - - - - - Chokers sometimes gather in settlements, usually sticking to slums or abandoned structures. These chokers stalk at night, flopping across rooftops, tapping at windows, and scuttling through sewers, gutters, and chimneys to get at prey. An urban choker that finds prey early on its hunt—a wandering pet, a person who is out alone—might spend the rest of the night indulging its curiosity about the products of society. A curious choker might abscond with all sorts of odd items, from tavern signs to library books to roof tiles. A choker usually pilfers only one item at a time, but as its collection grows, it might need to find a larger nest to accommodate its collection, then move its pieces one by one to the new home. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 16 - level: 2 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Small - traits: - - CE - - Small - - Aberration - senses: - - Perception +7 - - darkvision - languages: - - Aklo - - Undercommon - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 9 - misc: +11 to Grapple - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - perception: 7 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 3 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 1 - int_mod: -3 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: -2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 18 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 7 - fort_misc: - ref: 10 - ref_misc: - will: 7 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 28 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Yank - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - - manipulate - description: - raw_description: >- - **Yank [Reaction]** (__manipulate__) **Trigger **An enemy targets the choker with an attack; **Effect **The choker tries to pull a creature it has __grabbed__ or __restrained__ into the path of the attack.

Chupacabras prefer to prey upon the weak and slow, often hiding in wait and watching potential prey for long periods before attacking. Spry and stealthy, they most often make their homes in areas of high grass and protective rock, their slightly reflective scales allowing them to blend in well with such surroundings. - - - - - Chupacabras prefer to eat lone travelers and farm animals (particularly goats), and leave little evidence of their presence apart from the grisly, blood-drained husks of their meals. Their tendency to stay out of sight combined with their naturally nocturnal activity often leads superstitious locals to conclude the worst, imagining that a particularly reckless vampire lives in the area. - - - - - A typical chupacabra measures nearly 5-1/2 feet from its muzzle to the tip of its spiny tail, and it stands just under 4 feet tall. With their slight build and lightweight bones, most weigh close to 100 pounds. They mate rarely and only during the hottest months, with the females each producing a single egg that hatches into a tiny, dehydrated creature. The mother typically leaves helpless prey in her cave so the hatchling can immediately feed. - - - - - Although chupacabras are typically solitary creatures, they have been known to form small gangs in bountiful areas. Members of these groups work well together, growing bold enough to attack larger animals, small herds, and otherwise more dangerous prey. Stories of chupacabras attacking travelers or laying siege to farmhouses typically stem from the hunting practices of such gangs. Regions where chupacabra activity like this is more common often have complex and colorful myths and tall tales about chupacabra capabilities or motive —- and a few of the claims, such as that some chupacabras can fly, are all too true. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 18 - level: 3 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Small - traits: - - N - - Small - - Beast - senses: - - Perception +9 - - darkvision - languages: - - Aklo - - can't speak any language - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 9 - misc: +11 to Leap - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 9 - misc: +11 in undergrowth or rocky areas - perception: 9 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 3 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: -3 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: -2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 20 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 9 - fort_misc: - ref: 11 - ref_misc: - will: 7 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 45 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws - to_hit: 11 - traits: - - finesse - damage: - formula: 1d10+5 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: Grab - - action_cost: One Action - name: claw - to_hit: 11 - traits: - - agile - - finesse - damage: - formula: 1d6+5 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Chupar - action_cost: One Action - traits: - description: - raw_description: "**Chupar** **Requirements **The chupacabra has a creature __grabbed__; **Effect **The chupacabra sucks blood from the grabbed creature.

Before it begins consuming its prey, a chuul often speaks in a gurgling, nearly incomprehensible dialect about how it will enjoy feasting on the creature's esh. Perhaps chuuls believe that insults and degradation lead to more tender and tastier food, but the truth will likely never be known; almost all chuuls stubbornly refuse any meaningful conversation, even when imprisoned and compelled by treats or pain. - - - - - It is unknown if a chuul society exists beyond their frenzied mating season.

Upon the fall of the Azlanti empire, the alghollthus cast out their cloaker creations, who, in turn, fled to the lower reaches of the Darklands. Amid the vaults and twisted corridors of their new home, their attitudes—particularly regarding their apprehension toward their former masters—changed dramatically. Suspicion became paranoia, egotism, sadism, and much worse. Now, most cloakers lead solitary lives, stalking the Darklands for easy prey and delving deeper into internal horrors. Their paranoia is so great that they interact only rarely even with their own kind, encountering another cloaker only briefly to mate before flitting back to isolation. - - - - - But there are exceptions. Every so often, a charismatic cloaker priest can call together a dark cabal of these creatures and other Darklands denizens to worship unspeakable ancient gods.

Cockatrices resemble gaunt and sickly roosters with bat wings and serpentine tails, and they rarely grow more than 2 feet tall and twice as long. Their absentminded clucking gives smart prey ample warning of their presence, and when angered cockatrices let out a shrill crow like that of a rooster. Their peck releases a magical toxin that causes flesh to quickly calcify, and any creature pecked repeatedly by an irritable cockatrice eventually transforms into a stone statue of itself. - - - - - The first cockatrice is rumored to have hatched from a rooster's egg incubated on a dung hill by a toad. Whether or not the rumor is true, the cockatrice's monstrous appearance certainly doesn't contradict its strange and filthy origin story, and these creatures are more than capable of propagating on their own. Cockatrices are remarkably fecund and gather in flocks of up to a dozen members. Each flock contains only a few females. The males—which differ in appearance from the females by having warty wattles and gnarled combs— often fight with each other, with lower-ranking males eventually driven away to find their own lairs or compete among other flocks. Most creatures who run afoul of a solitary cockatrice do so with one of these surly outcasts. - - - - - Cockatrice lairs are often littered with fragments of statuary from past victims—although these are as likely to be remnants of frogs, lizards, and insects as people.

Deculis prefer to feed upon the warm blood of freshly killed prey, but they can subsist on carrion if they have to. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 30 - level: 12 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Large - traits: - - NE - - Large - - Beast - senses: - - Perception +23 - - infrared vision 60 feet - - no vision - languages: - - Undercommon - - can't speak any language - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 26 - misc: - perception: 23 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 7 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: -3 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - - name: Infrared Vision - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A deculi can detect infrared radiation as a precise sense. - raw_description: '** Infrared Vision** A deculi can detect infrared radiation as a precise sense.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 33 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 21 - fort_misc: - ref: 26 - ref_misc: - will: 18 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 215 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - visual - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 30 - type: Land - - amount: 30 - type: climb - - amount: 50 - type: fly - - amount: - type: walk in shadow - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: fangs - to_hit: 24 - traits: - damage: - formula: 3d12+11 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: wing - to_hit: 26 - traits: - - agile - - finesse - damage: - formula: 3d8+11 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - - name: Primal Innate Spells - dc: 32 - to_hit: - misc: - spell_groups: - - level: 6 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: darkness - frequency: at will - requirement: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Create Shadow Sanctuary - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - - conjuration - - darkness - - extradimensional - - occult - description: - raw_description: >- - **Create Shadow Sanctuary** [Two Actions] (__conjuration__, __darkness__, __extradimensional__, __occult__) **Frequency** once per day; **Effect** The deculi creates an extradimensional space adjacent to itself in any 10-foot-by-10-foot area of darkness and enters it.

As years pass, the lich's body crumbles to dust, leaving only the skull as the seat of its necromantic power. The lich enters a sort of torpor, its mind left wandering the planes in search of ever greater mysteries. The lich gradually loses the ability to cast spells and its magic items slowly subsume into its new form. Negative energy concentrates around the skull, causing some of its bones and teeth to petrify with power and turn into blight crystals. The resulting lich skull, embedded with arcane gemstones and suffused with palpably powerful magic, forms a creature called a demilich. - - - - - Despite its near-constant state of inactivity, a demilich grows restless from time to time, especially when living creatures draw near. Only then does the demilich's hunger for life stir once more, causing it to lash out with terrifying bursts of power in attempts to consume vital energy. Unlike an ordinary lich, should the demilich's skull be destroyed, its bond to the world is permanently severed, although some theorize that even then it is not truly slain. Rather, some think that once the demilich is destroyed, its foul and tormented mind is finally free to wander the planes and find new ways to enact its will. For the short-lived common folk of the Material Plane, this is good enough, though eons later a demilich may reappear in the region it once inhabited with a new—and even more insidious—agenda. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Undead__ (__Religion__)**: DC 39 - level: 15 - rarity: Rare - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Tiny - traits: - - Rare - - NE - - Tiny - - Undead - senses: - - Perception +19 - - darkvision - - true seeing - languages: - - Abyssal - - Aklo - - Common - - Draconic - - Elven - - Infernal - - Necril - - Undercommon - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 32 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 26 - misc: - - name: 'Occultism ' - bonus: 30 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - perception: 19 - ability_mods: - str_mod: -3 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 0 - int_mod: 7 - wis_mod: -2 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - - name: Torpor - action_cost: None - traits: - description: >+ - Typically, a demilich is inert when encountered and doesn't take actions until its __contingency__ reaction has been triggered (see below). - - raw_description: >+ - **Torpor** Typically, a demilich is inert when encountered and doesn't take actions until its __contingency__ reaction has been triggered (see below). - - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - - demilich eye gem (2) - ac: 38 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 23 - fort_misc: - ref: 27 - ref_misc: - will: 23 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. positive - hp: 220 - hp_misc: negative healing - immunities: - - disease - - paralyzed - - poison - - polymorph - - unconscious - resistances: - - amount: 5 - type: cold - - amount: 5 - type: electricity - - amount: 5 - type: fire - - amount: 5 - type: physical (except bludgeoning) - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Telekinetic Whirlwind - action_cost: None - traits: - - arcane - - aura - - evocation - description: 20 feet.

Dezullons are smart enough to notice that some creatures are attracted by shiny things, and sometimes use such objects to set up ambushes.

In addition, these dangerous plants are expert climbers, making their pursuit even more difficult to escape from. - - - - - A hungry dezullon keeps prey off-balance by spilling its putrid, psychoactive digestive juices from its central pitcher. In addition to being highly acidic, the enzymes in a dezullon's digestive tract, once expelled, inflict a victim with powerful hallucinations and amnesia. This secondary effect makes dezullons highly sought after in some circles, including avid drug users, experimental doctors, and criminals who deal in poisons. - - - - - Many varieties of dezullon exist, including lumbering giants of incredible size, those that have tiny, cup-shaped pitchers that proliferate along lengths of creeping ivy like suckers on a squid's tentacles, and others with hundreds of blood-red, razor-sharp leaves that protrude from the inside of their pitchers like a leech's teeth.

As masters of mimicry, they use their abilities to impersonate others in devious ways, often infiltrating settlements and residing within them for years without being detected. - - - - - Doppelgangers are incredibly secretive, with some nearing outright paranoia. They choose their targets carefully and go to great lengths not to reveal their intentions before their plans come to fruition. Doppelgangers usually infiltrate communities in order to gain some manner of wealth or power, and assume the guises of other (usually influential) persons to allow the creatures they're impersonating to take the fall for any negative consequences that may result from their actions. - - - - - Though most are not evil, doppelgangers are manipulative and self-serving. As they don't have their own society and aren't monolithic in their motivations, an individual doppelganger has its own unique interests and impulses, though many are over-indulgent. Some doppelgangers enjoy the thrill of subtlety, while others favor grander schemes, such as manipulating a nation's political infrastructure. Others seek to exploit merchant guilds to gain immense wealth, while others use their shape-changing ability to destroy relationships between close friends or families. - - - - - Doppelgangers are careful and patient creatures. They are willing to slowly construct elaborate schemes that may require extended periods of time—even decades—to yield results. - - - - - Doppelgangers often work alone, as they don't trust potential cohorts not to ruin their plans. There are rare times when doppelgangers might reveal secrets to high-ranking individuals to ensure a successful infiltration. When they do work with others, it's because they've taken the shape of a target group's leader, unbeknownst to the organization's members. - - - - - Doppelgangers can grow in power by learning skills and abilities, and often make excellent rogues, spellcasters, or fighters. A doppelganger that has class abilities can often effectively infiltrate and plague an adventuring group as a powerful antagonist—but using a doppelganger like this in your game should be handled with care (see the Infiltrating a Party sidebar above for more information). - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Humanoid__ (__Society__)**: DC 20 - level: 3 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - Uncommon - - N - - Medium - - Humanoid - senses: - - Perception +7 - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - - two other languages - skills: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - perception: 7 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 3 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 0 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 4 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 18 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 5 - fort_misc: - ref: 10 - ref_misc: - will: 11 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 50 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: End the Charade - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - - attack - description: - raw_description: '**End the Charade** [Reaction] (__attack__); **Trigger** The doppelganger is transformed with Change Shape and another creature moves adjacent to it or takes a hostile action against it. **Effect** The doppelganger reverts to its natural form and can make a Strike against the triggering creature.

These fearsome creatures enjoy being considered as dangerous as storms or natural disasters by seafaring folk. Dragon turtles delight in amassing treasure, although most prefer to receive tribute from passing sailors and often store their hoards in the shipwrecks of vessels once crewed by those unwilling to surrender their valuables. Dragon turtles are solitary creatures and hunt in regions encompassing a hundred square miles or more. Although they normally eat large fish, they are omnivorous and also eat seaweed or even foolhardy dragon hunters. Experienced sailors keep a keen eye out for dragon turtles, preparing to flee should one approach or offer it treasure in exchange for safe passage. - - - - - Most dragon turtles are at least 20 feet wide and 50 feet long, although some can grow substantially larger. These massive, ancient dragon turtles are somnolent, and resemble rocky islands from a distance; their prodigious hoards can be a source of truly ancient sea lore. Legends persist of truly immense dragon turtles who spend centuries drifting on the surface of the ocean, far from established shipping lanes or charted waters, with shells that serve as islands capable of supporting entire ecosystems and even, some claim, small settlements whose inhabitants know nothing of land that doesn't drift across the sea. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 26 - level: 9 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Huge - traits: - - N - - Huge - - Amphibious - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +18 - - darkvision - languages: - - Aquan - - Common - - Draconic - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - perception: 18 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 0 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 1 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 29 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 19 - fort_misc: - ref: 15 - ref_misc: - will: 16 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 140 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - fire - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Shell Block - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: '**Shell Block **[Reaction] **Trigger** A creature adjacent to the dragon turtle targets it with a melee attack. **Effect** The dragon turtle rolls its shell toward the triggering creature, gaining a +2 circumstance bonus to its AC against the triggering attack.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: A creature adjacent to the dragon turtle targets it with a melee attack. - effect: The dragon turtle rolls its shell toward the triggering creature, gaining a +2 circumstance bonus to its AC against the triggering attack. - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - speed: - - amount: 20 - type: Land - - amount: 30 - type: swim - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: Jaws - to_hit: 21 - traits: - - reach 10 feet - damage: - formula: 2d12+9 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: Claw - to_hit: 21 - traits: - - agile - damage: - formula: 2d8+9 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Breath Weapon - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - - air - - fire - - primal - description: The dragon turtle breathes a massive blast of steam that deals 10d6 fire damage to creatures within a 50-foot __cone__ (DC 27 basic Reflex save).

While a dragonscarred dead is often magically compelled to follow its reanimator's commands, some of these undead dragonslayers manage to escape their masters and pursue their own vile agendas—which may involve rallying allies to challenge their draconic creator once more and finish the dire mission they started in life. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Undead__ (__Religion__)**: DC 33 - level: 13 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Medium - traits: - - Uncommon - - NE - - Medium - - Fire - - Undead - senses: - - Perception +24 - - darkvision - - guardian sense - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Necril - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Dragon Lore ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - perception: 24 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: 2 - sense_abilities: - - name: Guardian Sense - action_cost: None - traits: - - arcane - - detection - - divination - description: >+ - The dragonscarred dead is immediately aware of any intruder that enters the lair of its creator dragon.

A voracious but slow-moving hunter, the drakauthix prefers to ambush meaty creatures from above, using its hooked appendages to pull its victims upward to feed. The drakauthix's digestive process is entirely external—it clings to victims, and its spore-laden surface slowly feeds on and grows through the flesh before the spore-infested carcass is discarded. As the infested body strikes the ground below, it bursts and releases a cloud of spores, unleashing a host of young called sporelings that immediately scuttle up the cavern walls to cling to its ceiling and grow. - - - - - The drakauthix behaves no more intelligently than most predatory animals, and often uses a sort of symbiotic scavenger method to secure prey by capitalizing on the hunting methods of oozes and vermin found in the large cave systems it frequents. When a relatively mindless creature kills a victim, the drakauthix drifts down, hooks the freshly slain carcass with its tendrils, and reels in its meal. The mindless ooze or other creature that just had its food stolen rarely holds a grudge and simply slithers off to find a new quarry, letting the drakauthix digest the corpse in peace. Of course, the drakauthix isn't above feasting on more active prey as well, and might attack an adventurer who neglects to look upward for danger when exploring a network of mysterious caves. - - - - - Some Darklands-dwelling creatures, such as duergars, hunt drakauthixes for their flesh, which has a unique flavor with a peppery aftertaste. Subterranean races also make ink from drakauthixes by burning their carcasses, then grinding and pressing the ashes for a long time until a silvery substance congeals. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fungus__ (__Nature__)**: DC 26 - level: 9 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Huge - traits: - - N - - Huge - - Fungus - senses: - - Perception +17 - - darkvision - - sporesight (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - perception: 17 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - - name: Sporesight - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The drakauthix exudes a cloud of spores that it uses to see.

Their eyes glow with ghastly green light, and rotting seaweed, barnacles, and dead sea creatures cling to their bodies. Draugr can't speak, but expresses their malicious emotions with gurgles, as though they were eternally drowning with lungs full of water. They desire little more than to attack living creatures, especially those who sail the sea. Even when they go upon land, draugrs often drag the corpses of those they strike down back to the water, populating the depths with even more dead. - - - - - Draugr rise in the haunted places of the sea, where restless spirits, swells of negative energy, or supernatural storms deliver death. A corpse might rest at the bottom of the sea for some time before awakening as a draugr. Collecting detritus and organisms, a corpse becomes increasingly disgusting before it finally rises. Proximity to intelligent life can expedite this process, and an underwater explorer who happens upon a shipwreck might cause a body to snap to unlife as a draugr suddenly. The creatures don't take intrusions lightly, especially upon their place of death. - - - - - Though steeped in evil, draugr are susceptible to reminders of their lives as mariners. In particular, a well-performed sea shanty or call-and-response work song might cause a draugr to become lost in reverie for a moment. The creatures have even been witnessed moaning along, unable to sing the words but providing haunting accompaniment. The lull rarely lasts long, though, as the beauty of the song quickly becomes a reminder of the tragedy that befell the draugr, reaffirming their desire for blood and death. - - - - - More powerful draugr with burning red eyes are called draugr captains.

Fusing the body of a drow with that of a giant spider, driders are a sexually dimorphic fleshwarp—the only fleshwarp known to be able to produce young. While female driders have the upper torsos of elegant drow women with mouths featuring sharp poisoned fangs, male driders have hideous, mutated countenances that further blend the humanoid form with that of a spider; the difference in appearance is perhaps a reflection on the matriarchal nature of drow society. In combat, all driders are equally dangerous. - - - - - Although the fleshwarping process was originally intended to be a punishment for drow who fell from grace, the significant powers and strengths gained from the horrifying transformation are attractive to some drow, and an increasing number of lower-ranking citizens in drow cities volunteer themselves for the painful procedure. In return for mandatory time (typically measured in decades) serving as a guardian, soldier, or other public servant, such volunteer driders are later allowed to lead their own lives, typically in caverns located in a city's periphery. The painful truth is that for most driders, they do not live long enough to see this reward, for the drow have a penchant for working their fleshwarped slaves to death or deploying them in deadly war missions in which survival is a only a remote possibility. - - - - - Most driders use arcane magic, but driders who use divine magic are well known, while a rare few use occult or primal magic. A drider's innate spells remain the same regardless of the magical tradition, but those who use different types of magic as prepared spells may well have entirely different spells prepared than the drider presented below. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 22 - level: 6 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Large - traits: - - CE - - Large - - Aberration - senses: - - Perception +13 - - darkvision - languages: - - Elven - - Undercommon - skills: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 12 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - perception: 13 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 4 - sense_abilities: - items: - - +1 composite longbow (20 arrows) - - glaive - ac: 24 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 13 - fort_misc: - ref: 13 - ref_misc: - will: 15 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 95 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 30 - type: Land - - amount: 20 - type: climb - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: glaive - to_hit: 16 - traits: - - deadly 1d8 - - forceful - - reach 10 feet - damage: - formula: 1d8+10 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: fangs - to_hit: 16 - traits: - damage: - formula: 1d6+10 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: drider venom - ranged: - - action_cost: One Action - name: composite longbow - to_hit: 16 - traits: - - deadly d10 - - magical - - propulsive - - range increment 100 feet - - reload 0 - - volley 50 feet - damage: - formula: 1d8+8 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: web - to_hit: 15 - traits: - - range increment 30 feet - damage: - plus_damage: - spell_lists: - - name: Arcane Innate Spells - dc: 20 - to_hit: - misc: - spell_groups: - - level: 4 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: clairvoyance - frequency: - requirement: - - name: suggestion - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 3 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: clairaudience - frequency: - requirement: - - name: dispel magic - frequency: - requirement: - - name: levitate - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 2 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: darkness - frequency: at will - requirement: - - name: faerie fire - frequency: at will - requirement: - - level: 0 - heightened_level: 3 - spells: - - name: dancing lights - frequency: - requirement: - - name: detect magic - frequency: - requirement: - - name: Arcane Prepared Spells - dc: 24 - to_hit: 17 - misc: '' - spell_groups: - - level: 3 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: fireball - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 2 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: acid arrow - frequency: - requirement: - - name: invisibility - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 1 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: magic missile - frequency: x2 - requirement: - - name: ray of enfeeblement - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 0 - heightened_level: 3 - spells: - - name: ghost sound - frequency: - requirement: - - name: mage hand - frequency: - requirement: - - name: ray of frost - frequency: - requirement: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Drider Venom - action_cost: None - traits: - - poison - description: '**Saving Throw** DC 23 Fortitude;

Most dullahans return to their former homelands, where they can exact vengeance those they feel wronged them in life (or their living descendants). A dullahan's concept of justice is swift and merciless, and once it has selected a target, it is unwavering in its cause. - - - - - Perhaps even more than revenge on the living, a dullahan desires its own rotted head. An individual who wields the head of a dullahan is powerful indeed, for a dullahan will grudgingly serve such a master in the hopes of reclaiming its missing skull. Mighty fiends such as devils command dullahans to harvest souls or lead armies for them, while a mortal might use such an undead warrior to fulfill a personal vendetta. No matter its master's rank or station, however, a dullahan won't hesitate to kill its liege and reclaim its head when the opportunity presents itself. - - - - - Most dullahan lairs are abandoned, overgrown ruins or other dilapidated places where severed heads and other trophies line the walls. Some dullahans, on the other hand, are content to simply commit their foul deeds and leave the remains of their decapitated victims in the streets, strewn among a copse of dead trees, or unceremoniously tossed in a bog hole. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Undead__ (__Religion__)**: DC 25 - level: 7 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Medium - traits: - - Uncommon - - LE - - Medium - - Undead - senses: - - Perception +14 - - lifesense 60 feet - languages: - - Common - - Necril - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - perception: 14 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 4 - sense_abilities: - items: - - +1 hatchet - - +1 longsword - - full plate - ac: 28 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 13 - fort_misc: - ref: 15 - ref_misc: - will: 17 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 95 - hp_misc: fast healing 5 - immunities: - - fear - - death effects - - disease - - poison - - paralyzed - - unconscious - resistances: - - amount: 5 - type: good - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 30 feet, DC 23 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 30 feet, DC 23 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Their forms ripple and billow with heat, and their eyes glow from within as if they contain tiny, flickering flames. The pungent scent of rotting leaves smoldering in a bonfire clings to their fur. Yet those who have the chance to watch elananxes hunt or attack prey witness the greatest indication that these creatures are something more than mere predators, for they act with cruel and savvy instincts, reveling in the pain they infiict. - - - - - Elananxes typically hunt alone, but sometimes these cunning and malicious hunters of the First World roam in packs called "billows" to take down large prey. Like many house cats, elananxes are not content to merely track and devour prey, but prefer to toy with their victims, drawing joy and excitement from the fear and pain of those they capture. To this end, elananxes rarely use their cinder dispersal ability to evade their targets, instead opting to foil their quarry just before the end of the hunt—though, as selfish creatures who wish to live to hunt again, elananxes often reserve one use of this ability, just in case. - - - - - Because of their clever and malicious ways, elananxes are favored as hunting companions by __redcaps__, who go out of their way to befriend or make deals with these creatures. Redcaps also flnd great sport in hunts where competing elananxes chase a single creature.

Because they are immune to the damage caused by flickering flames, they enjoy capering and caterwauling through the smoky, burning ruins of forest infernos. Some have even been known to use their burning bites to deliberately light undergrowth on fire, simply so they might experience the beauty of the flames combined with the inevitable pain such disasters inflict on other creatures. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fey__ (__Nature__)**: DC 22 - level: 6 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Medium - traits: - - NE - - Medium - - Fey - - Fire - senses: - - Perception +14 - - darkvision - languages: - - Sylvan - - (can't speak any language) - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 14 - misc: +17 to Track - perception: 14 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: -3 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: -2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 24 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 12 - fort_misc: - ref: 16 - ref_misc: - will: 12 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 95 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - fire - resistances: - - amount: 5 - type: cold iron - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Cinder Dispersal - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - - fire - - primal - - transmutation - description: - raw_description: "**Cinder Dispersal** [Reaction] (__fire__, __primal__, __transmutation__); **Frequency** once per day. **Trigger** The elananx takes damage from a hostile source. **Effect** The elananx disperses into a cloud of smoke and cinders, filling its space and a 20-foot emanation.

As a result, it's theorized that a typical water orm is more than happy to lead a group of spectators to a lost elasmosaurus, both to throw its pursuers off its tail and for the hilarity that will inevitably ensue. - - - - - While elasmosauruses are often found in lost worlds and unsettled regions, those who dwell in the oceans of the world do not contain their hunting grounds to specific regions. As a result, it's not unheard of for a wandering specimen to find its way to coastal waters. Those that do often find the ports of small towns or even large cities to be wondrous banquets and are usually hunted down by coastal guards or adventurers. When a wayward elasmosaurus like this finds its way into a city's sewer system or reservoirs, though, it can become the stuff of urban legends. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 23 - level: 7 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Huge - traits: - - N - - Huge - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +16 - - low-light vision - - scent (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - perception: 16 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: -1 - sense_abilities: - - name: Deep Breath - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The elasmosaurus can hold its breath for 2 hours. - raw_description: '**Deep Breath** The elasmosaurus can hold its breath for 2 hours.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 25 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 17 - fort_misc: - ref: 13 - ref_misc: - will: 16 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 125 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Long Neck - action_cost: None - traits: - description: An elasmosaurus's long neck allows it to interact with the surface while its body remains submerged underwater.

While it usually feeds on lizards, big insects, and other small creatures, the emperor bird is highly territorial and not afraid to attack larger prey. Its beak, resembling that of the much smaller peafowl, is exceptionally sharp, but its deadliest weapon is its tail—the long, whiplike blades of bone hidden among its tail feathers are a nasty surprise for any predator trying to sneak up on the bird. - - - - - The emperor bird was given its current name 2,000 years ago when Taldor's Sixth Army of Exploration ventured into the Mwangi Expanse. When the legion spotted this 6-foot-long bird with its spectacular multicolored feathers trailing from its tail, wings, and crest, the soldiers thought the bird regal enough to suit their emperor, disregarding the name the Mwangi had given to the bird generations before, bebaki. - - - - - Keeping an emperor bird was, for many years, a sign of prestige among the nobility of Taldor. That was long ago, however, and emperor birds eventually fell out of fashion. Inevitably their former owners forgot about their colorful pets, and hundreds of neglected emperor birds were released back into the wild by weary servants. While many such freed birds perished quickly in the unfamiliar woodlands of Avistan, some managed to hold out, and emperor birds can still be encountered in the Verduran Forest. - - - - - The emperor bird uses its brilliant, iridescent plumage for mating displays as well as for intimidating rival suitors and potential predators. Not only are the feathers beautiful, but they are actually magical—a fact that has piqued the interest of alchemists and wizards alike, many of whom have spent decades capturing and breeding emperor birds in the hope of unlocking their arcane secrets. Mages stationed in the Mwangi Expanse will pay a pretty penny for intact feathers from these majestic creatures—or better yet, live specimens. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 18 - level: 2 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - Uncommon - - N - - Medium - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +8 - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - perception: 8 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 2 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 0 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 18 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 6 - fort_misc: - ref: 9 - ref_misc: - will: 7 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 27 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 15 - type: Land - - amount: 20 - type: fly - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: beak - to_hit: 11 - traits: - damage: - formula: 1d10+2 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: tail - to_hit: 11 - traits: - - agile - - reach 10 feet - damage: - formula: 1d8+3 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Dazzling Display - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - - enchantment - - mental - - primal - - visual - description: >+ - The emperor bird flaps its mesmerizing wings.

Rather than building webs of silk, ether spiders shape the raw essence of the Ethereal Plane, weaving it in complex patterns that drift through the misty void. From these ethereal nests, whole families of ether spiders can scout the adjacent Material Plane, watching for easy prey in dark or remote corners of the land of mortals. Once an ether spider has spotted a meal, it anchors its nest and waits on the Ethereal Plane for its prey to draw near. As soon as its victim is within reach, the ether spider shifts to the Material Plane, clamps its fangs onto its prey, then shifts back to the Ethereal Plane to wait as its venom works through the creature's system. Ether spiders move between the planes with ease, making them extremely dangerous to those who cannot see or attack ethereal enemies. - - - - - Ether spiders are not mindless or evil—they are simply hungry. If a prospective meal can sate an ether spider's incredible appetite through other means, they might be able to bargain for their life. Ether spiders are especially interested in items, information, or allies who can help them against their enemies. - - - - - As many as half a dozen ether spiders might dwell in the same ether web. Although ether spiders enjoy one another's company, they don't form the same bonds as most humanoids, and they are more likely to feast on the corpse of a fallen sibling than save one from certain doom. - - - - - Ether spiders dwell in vast nests adrift in the Ghost World, where they are more likely to let down their guard. Travelers who find a floating ether spider commune should have an easier time of making peaceful contact to trade with or even befriend these strange arachnids. The nests drift on metaphysical currents and are rarely seen in the same vicinity twice. Sometimes a point of interest on the neighboring Material Plane compels them to tether their nest to an area, creating a semipermanent home, and those who learn its location can return to it repeatedly. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 20 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Ethereal__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 20 - level: 5 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - N - - Large - - Beast - - Ethereal - senses: - - Perception +12 - - darkvision - languages: - - Aklo - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 12 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - perception: 12 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: -2 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: 7 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 21 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 12 - fort_misc: - ref: 15 - ref_misc: - will: 10 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 75 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 40 - type: Land - - amount: 20 - type: climb - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: fangs - to_hit: 15 - traits: - - magical - damage: - formula: 1d10+7 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: ether spider venom and Grab - ranged: - - action_cost: One Action - name: web - to_hit: 14 - traits: - - magical - - range increment 30 feet - damage: - plus_damage: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Ether Spider Venom - action_cost: None - traits: - - poison - description: '**Saving Throw** DC 22 Fortitude; **Maximum Duration** 6 rounds; **Stage 1** 1d6 poison damage and __clumsy 1__ (1 round); **Stage 2** 2d6 poison damage, __clumsy 2__ and __slowed 1__ (1 round); **Stage 3** 3d6 poison damage, __clumsy 3__ and __slowed 2__ (1 round)' - raw_description: '**Ether Spider Venom** (__poison__) **Saving Throw** DC 22 Fortitude; **Maximum Duration** 6 rounds; **Stage 1** 1d6 poison damage and __clumsy 1__ (1 round); **Stage 2** 2d6 poison damage, __clumsy 2__ and __slowed 1__ (1 round); **Stage 3** 3d6 poison damage, __clumsy 3__ and __slowed 2__ (1 round)' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Ethereal Step - action_cost: One Action - traits: - description: The ether spider shifts to either the Ethereal Plane or the Material Plane.

The slovenly, violent giants known as ettins are proof enough of that. - - - - - The origin of these two-headed brutes is unknown, but few who encounter ettins ponder their beginnings for long. Rather, the first priority for most creatures during such a confrontation is escape, which is not easy to accomplish given the ettins' notorious vigilance. In this way, two heads are better than one—ettins regularly find employ in the ranks of giant or orc armies as sentries and guards. The benefits of an ettin security detail are obvious: because it has a shared stomach, an ettin requires only the same amount of food as one typical ogre, yet its two sets of eyes make it twice as observant. An ettin never complains for lack of company, either. The ettin's two heads are uniquely content to squabble and converse between themselves, and though they bicker incessantly, most couldn't dream of life without the other. Much like some twins, an ettin has two individual minds who nonetheless consider the other as much a part of their life as their own self. - - - - - Ettins do not resemble a single giant heritage so much as an amalgamation of several. Their tusks are thought to stem from orc ancestry, though their size and dimness suggest hill giant blood. Though they tower over goblins and hobgoblins, ettins are more than at home among tribes of these creatures and enjoy their comfortable stations as camp lookouts or troop rearguards. Their exposure to a wide variety of goblinoids and giants is evident in their language; ettins speak a pidgin tongue of Goblin, Jotun, and Orcish, and their diction is mostly good enough to get across the general meaning of their short sentences and bumbled sayings—although most interlocutors simply nod their heads while conversing with an ettin anyway. The monsters are notoriously short tempered and, despite their heightened visual perception, short sighted in matters of keeping their allies alive. - - - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Humanoid__ (__Society__)**: DC 22 - level: 6 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Large - traits: - - CE - - Large - - Giant - - Humanoid - senses: - - Perception +16 - - low-light vision - languages: - - pidgin of Goblin - - Jotun - - and Orcish - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 10 - misc: - perception: 16 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: -1 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: -2 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - - name: Independent Brains - action_cost: None - traits: - description: >+ - Each of an ettin's heads rolls its own initiative and has its own turn.

These twisted beings used shapeshifting to infiltrate settlements and assassinate key targets. They sowed discord and replaced leaders, causing unwanted organizations to implode and bothersome people to lose face and eventually disappear. Entirely terrestrial in nature, ugothols can easily extend alghollthu plots above the waves for extended periods of time, giving their aquatic masters enhanced reach into these unpleasantly dry realms. Today, most faceless stalkers—like the less dangerous ulat-kinis—pursue programmed goals without the guidance of alghollthu rule. Faceless stalkers prefer to live as close to the sea coast as possible, although they are not aquatic creatures themselves. Most dwell in tiny tribes in marshlands. Others live in the sewers of coastal towns. - - - - - By instinct, faceless stalkers seek to sow discord. They replace leaders in humanoid societies, then guide infiltrated settlements down paths of destruction. Among humanoids who have wicked tendencies, a faceless stalker can become a prominent trailblazer, leading a group to new heights of depravity and violence. Inevitably, however, faceless stalker infiltrators lead their followers to ruin. The ugothol eventually moves on—either because its true nature is about to be discovered, or because it has despoiled or devastated all local resources. - - - - - An ugothol gains nourishment only through its long, bloodsucking tongue.

They flit about on iridescent butterfly wings, the coloring of which changes based on where they live, giving them a natural camouflage. Unlike their larger kin, an adult faerie dragon remains the same size throughout its lifespan. The only visual clue to the age of a faerie dragon is the sheen on its scales, a glimmer that becomes more lustrous the older it gets. - - - - - Faerie dragons usually exhibit pleasant and good-natured temperaments, though they have a mischievous streak that leads them to play tricks on those around them. In search of an amusement, they prefer harmless annoyances to wounding malice. While often spontaneous, they may also spend months if not years planning the perfect prank. Especially responsive targets endear themselves to faerie dragons and may create a lifelong bond. A faerie dragon's reputation as a trickster leads many to associate them with fey, with whom the tiny dragons have cordial relationships. - - - - - Peaceful by nature, faerie dragons do not enjoy confrontation. If faced with hostility, they prefer to remain at a distance and breathe euphoric gas at their foes, diffusing the skirmish by creating an atmosphere of bliss. If conflict escalates, they target their opponents with spells, using their renowned trickery to escape. If their companions are in danger, however, their desire to remain out of combat changes. Faerie dragons protect their friends by any means available, including physical combat. - - - - - Sometimes as faerie dragons grow older, their connection to the First World grows stronger. In addition to growing more lustrous and vibrant in appearance, these faerie dragons gain an increasing amount of magical primal power. Such faerie dragons increase in strength as appropriate—a faerie dragon of 20th level or even higher is possible, but it is exceptionally unusual to encounter a faerie dragon of 9th level or higher beyond the most remote regions of the First World. When creating a more powerful faerie dragon, change its tradition to primal and grant it a number of primal spells known appropriate for a druid of its level. Faerie dragons don't grow much larger, regardless of how powerful they become. Those who would seek to torment or vex a faerie dragon would do well to consider this, as it's often difficult to tell how powerful one of these tiny dragons truly is at a simple glance! - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 18 - level: 2 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: CG - size: Tiny - traits: - - Uncommon - - CG - - Tiny - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +16 - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Sylvan - - telepathy 100 feet - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 4 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 10 - misc: - perception: 16 - ability_mods: - str_mod: -2 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 0 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 0 - cha_mod: 2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 18 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 5 - fort_misc: - ref: 12 - ref_misc: - will: 11 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 30 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 15 - type: Land - - amount: 40 - type: fly - - amount: 20 - type: swim - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws - to_hit: 10 - traits: - - magical - - finesse - damage: - formula: 1d4 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - - name: Arcane Innate Spells - dc: 21 - to_hit: - misc: - spell_groups: - - level: 4 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: invisibility - frequency: self only - requirement: - - name: Arcane Spontaneous Spells - dc: 18 - to_hit: 10 - misc: '' - spell_groups: - - level: 1 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: grease - frequency: - requirement: - - name: illusory object - frequency: - requirement: - - name: sleep - frequency: 4 slots - requirement: - - level: 0 - heightened_level: 1 - spells: - - name: dancing lights - frequency: - requirement: - - name: ghost sound - frequency: - requirement: - - name: prestidigitation - frequency: - requirement: - - name: tanglefoot - frequency: - requirement: - - name: telekinetic projectile - frequency: - requirement: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Breath Weapon - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - - arcane - - evocation - - poison - description: The dragon breathes euphoric gas in a 10-foot cone.

No longer human at all, these people, who call themselves kayals, have become monochromatic in coloration, with flesh tones and hair colors varying between white, black, and all shades of gray. Their limbs are lithe and willowy, and their eyes are generally solid yellow, yellow-green, or white, though a rare few have a purple or blue glow. - - - - - Fetchlings have developed their own complex societies in the Shadow Plane, often under the tolerance of or in servitude to the strange, malignant creatures there, such as the sinister velstracs or the enigmatic d'ziriaks. While individual fetchlings can be any alignment, they are all survivors in a harsh environment, which leads to a tendency toward pragmatism. Fetchling clothing mimics the regions they dwell in, with drab colors tending toward darker shades. When they trade with humans or other societies on the Material Plane, they often wear masks or concealing clothing to hide their appearance. - - - - - Typical fetchling communities are insular and swiftly close ranks in the event of an intruder. Though individual fetchlings don't mind traveling to and blending in with other societies to facilitate trade, they often hide or even react defensively if they have their own visitors. When one considers the nature of the other denizens of the Shadow Plane, however, this tendency to assume the worst of interlopers might make sense to some. - - - - - Fetchlings are not as common on the Material Plane; most of those who dwell there are loners by choice who have left their home to seek out adventure elsewhere, exiles who were banished from their homelands, or planar castaways with no ability to return to the Shadow Plane. This last category, the lost and stranded, are the most likely to be found in larger groups. In cities of significant size, one can sometimes even find a small community of a few dozen or more fetchlings living among humans, although they often do so subtly by dyeing their hair, wearing brightly colored clothing, and utilizing layers of makeup to hide their pallid complexions. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Humanoid__ (__Society__)**: DC 15 - level: 1 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - N - - Medium - - Fetchling - - Humanoid - - Shadow - senses: - - Perception +5 - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - - Shadowtongue - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 4 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 5 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 5 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 3 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Thievery ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - perception: 5 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 1 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 0 - wis_mod: 0 - cha_mod: 2 - sense_abilities: - items: - - chain shirt - - dagger - ac: 18 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 5 - fort_misc: - ref: 9 - ref_misc: - will: 5 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 18 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Shadow Blending - action_cost: None - traits: - description: When the fetchling scout is __concealed__ as a result of dim light, the flat check to target them has a DC of 7, not 5. - raw_description: '**Shadow Blending** When the fetchling scout is __concealed__ as a result of dim light, the flat check to target them has a DC of 7, not 5.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: dagger - to_hit: 9 - traits: - - agile - - finesse - - versatile S - damage: - formula: 1d4+1 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - ranged: - - action_cost: One Action - name: dagger - to_hit: 9 - traits: - - agile - - finesse - - thrown 10 feet - - versatile S - damage: - formula: 1d4+1 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - spell_lists: - - name: Occult Innate Spells - dc: 15 - to_hit: - misc: - spell_groups: - - level: 1 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: illusory disguise - frequency: - requirement: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Shadow Stride - action_cost: One Action - traits: - - illusion - - occult - - shadow - description: - raw_description: '**Shadow Stride** (__illusion__, __occult__, __shadow__) **Requirement **The fetchling is in dim light; **Effect **The fetchling Strides.

As soon as a fire giant can walk, they are fitted with their first suit of forged armor. This armor is constantly remolded and replaced as the fire giant matures, both to ensure they are comfortable with steel against their skin and also to teach the giant as early as possible that they bear the burden of fighting to protect their traditions and way of life.

Related as they are to white dragons, these drakes share many habits and facets of their disposition with their draconic cousins. Indeed, just as white dragons are among the most bestial and craven of dragonkind, frost drakes are among the most depraved and openly malicious of the drakes. They are also especially insolent, and are less likely to back down from a flight compared to other drakes. Many frost drakes have met their ends trying to enact cruelties beyond their means, such as singly taking on an entire castle or well-fortified township. Although a frost drake can wreak much destruction on its own, tales of village-dwelling northerners banding together to defend their homes from these rogue menaces are fairly common. - - - - - A frost drake's hunting grounds are quite large. Those frost drakes that live upon the permanently frozen peaks of high mountains have been known to swoop down to snatch up prey from the lowlands, leaving frozen swaths of earth from their breath as the only sign of their passing. Their frost-covered scales range from deep royal blue to crisp cyan and sometimes feature sporadic patches of violet. Their hides are thinner than most drakes'; when a frost drake is inhaling in preparation to launch its signature frozen breath, the monster's ice-blue blood can be seen beneath its scales. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 23 - level: 7 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Large - traits: - - CE - - Large - - Cold - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +14 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 30 feet - - snow vision - languages: - - Draconic - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - perception: 14 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: -1 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 1 - sense_abilities: - - name: Snow Vision - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Snow doesn't impair a frost drake's vision; it ignores concealment from snowfall. - raw_description: "**Snow Vision** Snow doesn't impair a frost drake's vision; it ignores concealment from snowfall." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 25 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 17 - fort_misc: - ref: 15 - ref_misc: - will: 14 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 115 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - cold - - paralyzed - - unconscious - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: fire - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Retaliatory Strike - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: "**Retaliatory Strike** [Reaction] **Trigger** A creature within reach of the frost drake's tail successfully damages the frost drake with a Strike. **Effect** The frost drake attempts to Strike with its tail.

Frost giant clans are ruled by those who exhibit the greatest ferocity and prowess in battle—massive brutes who proclaim themselves jarl and demand absolute obedience from their followers.

Embodiments of free love, they eagerly throw themselves into courting targets for brief but earnest flings until their quicksilver passions change their desires. They serve Cayden Cailean as well as other bacchanalian deities and empyreal lords of Elysium who understand their desires for love and parties. Gancanaghs hate evil beings that profane the spirit of romance and passion, as such creatures (especially the demonic tempters known as succubi) reinforce stigmas against open and free love. One can give no greater insult to a gancanagh than to mistake him for such a creature, and more than one hotheaded gancanagh has challenged a misinformed paladin or other champion of good to a duel over such a slight. While they enjoy drinking and carousing, gancanaghs can't stand smoke. Nonetheless, many gancanaghs carry whimsical-looking smoking pipes because they think it makes them look dapper. They cherish their silver flutes, for they enjoy the beauty of flutes' music and its ability to sway the heart. - - - - - The majority of gancanaghs present themselves as male, but the concept of gender to a creature like a gancanagh, which can change its shape freely, is much more fluid and open to interpretation than for many mortals. Gancanaghs enjoy using this flexibility to confront and test mortals' convictions when faced with fear or prejudice, but when encountering mortals who themselves are open-minded about sexuality or gender identity, they can become lifelong allies. For those who are persecuted for such reasons, gancanaghs are tireless defenders and eager supporters, quick to provide safety and to punish those who would attempt to impose narrower beliefs upon a world that deserves more diversity than it often gets. If possible, a gancanagh seeks to educate and redeem those who hold destructive beliefs or prejudices, resorting to combat only to defend themself or an endangered mortal, or when no other option seems tenable—yet even then, they fight with sadness. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Celestial__ (__Religion__)**: DC 19 - level: 4 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CG - size: Medium - traits: - - CG - - Medium - - Azata - - Celestial - senses: - - Perception +11 - - darkvision - languages: - - Celestial - - Draconic - - Infernal - - tongues - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Performance ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - perception: 11 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 1 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - items: - - silver rapier - - silver virtuoso flute - ac: 21 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 9 - fort_misc: - ref: 13 - ref_misc: - will: 11 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 75 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - weaknesses: - - amount: 5 - type: cold iron - - amount: 5 - type: evil - automatic_abilities: - - name: Vulnerable to Smoke - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A gancanagh's lungs can't tolerate smoke.

They use their resemblance to decorative statues to hide in plain sight in cities during the day and descend upon unlucky pedestrians at night. Their most common form is that of a horned humanoid with bat-like wings, but individual gargoyles show a great deal of variation, with some appearing more or less humanoid and others resembling no known creature. A gargoyle's features are not flxed; city-dwelling gargoyles who remain in the same locale long enough slowly morph, day by day, to match the style of the local architecture. These patient monsters can stay disguised for long stretches of time as they patiently await an opportunity to strike.\n\n\n\nGargoyles tend to be lone hunters, though sometimes they band into fearsome tribes called \"wings\" for protection or sport. On rare occasions, wings become relatively stable communities, and gargoyles in wings may even ally with other creatures such as demons and intelligent aberrations, though these alliances exist on a razor's edge. The majority of gargoyles are treacherous, vindictive, and petty—traits that preclude lasting partnerships. Many tend to be obsessive and compulsive. Some are collectors, focusing on anything from books to grim trophies, while others are ritualistic or overly passionate about niche intellectual subjects or certain artistic motifs. These tendencies often contribute to the dissolution of wings as individuals' obsessions and compulsions clash. \n\n## Kapoacinth\n\n Kapoacinths dwell not amid cliffs or rooftops, but beneath the sea, using their wings to swim. These water-dwelling gargoyles often dwell in shallow coastal regions and shamble forth from the sea to attack prey. Kapoacinths are less individualistic and tend to create more stable wings for longer periods of time. Kapoacinths have the same abilities as the gargoyle presented below, but with the following adjustments: they have the aquatic trait, they have a swim Speed of 40 feet instead of a fly Speed, and their Clawed Feat reaction triggers when they are Swimming instead of Flying.\n\n\n\n**__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 19" - level: 4 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Medium - traits: - - CE - - Medium - - Beast - - Earth - senses: - - Perception +10 - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - - Terran - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 10 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 12 - misc: - perception: 10 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 3 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: -2 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: -2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 21 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 13 - fort_misc: - ref: 10 - ref_misc: - will: 10 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 40 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: 5 - type: physical (except adamantine) - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Clawed Feet - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - - attack - description: - raw_description: '**Clawed Feet** [Reaction] (__attack__) ; **Trigger** The gargoyle is Flying, and a creature moves into an adjacent square below it. **Effect** The gargoyle makes a claw Strike against the triggering creature.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: The gargoyle is Flying, and a creature moves into an adjacent square below it. - effect: The gargoyle makes a claw Strike against the triggering creature. - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - - amount: 40 - type: fly - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws - to_hit: 13 - traits: - damage: - formula: 2d8+3 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: claw - to_hit: 13 - traits: - - agile - damage: - formula: 2d6+3 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Statue - action_cost: One Action - traits: - - concentrate - description: Until the next time it acts, the gargoyle appears to be a statue.

An ice devil rarely breaks their solitary contemplation of strategy save to pursue a plan they have devised. They can be enticed otherwise only by an exchange of services to be determined at a later time, adding to the pieces they can play on the board. Occasionally, a mortal strategist of outstanding skill might amuse an ice devil enough for the gelugon to agree to a contest of strategy, typically a strategic board game like chess, to decide a dispute. In the unlikely event the devil loses such a contest, they inevitably go to great lengths to later obtain that mortal's services for their own infernal ends. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fiend__ (__Religion__)**: DC 31 - level: 13 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Large - traits: - - LE - - Large - - Devil - - Fiend - senses: - - Perception +26 - - greater darkvision - languages: - - Celestial - - Common - - Draconic - - Infernal - - telepathy 100 feet - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 26 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Warfare Lore ' - bonus: 30 - misc: - perception: 26 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 8 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 4 - sense_abilities: - items: - - +1 striking longspear - ac: 34 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 24 - fort_misc: - ref: 24 - ref_misc: - will: 26 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 215 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - cold - - fire - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: physical (except silver) - - amount: 10 - type: poison - weaknesses: - - amount: 10 - type: good - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - divine - - emotion - - enchantment - - fear - - mental - description: 10 feet, DC 31 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 10 feet, DC 31 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

More than one logging camp has attracted a cluster of giant stag beetles and had to be completely abandoned, yielding all its lumber to the hunger of the giant insects. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 19 - level: 4 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - N - - Large - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +10 - - darkvision - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - perception: 10 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 1 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: -5 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: -1 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 22 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 13 - fort_misc: - ref: 9 - ref_misc: - will: 8 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 55 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 20 - type: Land - - amount: 20 - type: fly - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: mandibles - to_hit: 13 - traits: - damage: - formula: 2d8+5 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: foot - to_hit: 11 - traits: - damage: - formula: 1d10+5 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Trample - action_cost: Three Actions - traits: - description: Medium or smaller, foot, DC 21 - raw_description: '**Trample** [Three Actions] Medium or smaller, foot, DC 21' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: -- name: Giant Tarantula - source: - - abbr: Bestiary - page_start: 307 - page_stop: - description: >- - Tarantulas are ambush predators, but will attack prey in the open. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 22 - level: 6 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - N - - Large - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +14 - - darkvision - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - perception: 14 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 1 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: -5 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: -4 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 21 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 15 - fort_misc: - ref: 13 - ref_misc: - will: 10 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 135 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 30 - type: Land - - amount: 30 - type: climb - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: fangs - to_hit: 17 - traits: - damage: - formula: 2d8+8 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: giant tarantula venom - - action_cost: One Action - name: leg - to_hit: 17 - traits: - - reach 10 feet - damage: - formula: 1d12+8 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: Knockdown - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Giant Tarantula Venom - action_cost: None - traits: - - poison - description: '**Saving Throw** Fortitude DC 23; **Maximum Duration** 8 rounds; **Stage 1** 1d6 poison (1 round); **Stage 2** 1d6 poison, flat-footed, and clumsy 1 (1 round); **Stage 3** 1d6 poison, flat-footed, and clumsy 2; **Stage 4** 1d6 poison and paralyzed (1 round).' - raw_description: '**Giant Tarantula Venom** (__poison__) **Saving Throw** Fortitude DC 23; **Maximum Duration** 8 rounds; **Stage 1** 1d6 poison (1 round); **Stage 2** 1d6 poison, flat-footed, and clumsy 1 (1 round); **Stage 3** 1d6 poison, flat-footed, and clumsy 2; **Stage 4** 1d6 poison and paralyzed (1 round).' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Hair Barrage - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - description: The tarantula flicks its legs, flinging spiky hairs in a 15-foot cone.

Instead, their innumerable mouths constantly jabber and babble in a stream of sound that disrupts the thought patterns of other creatures in the area. - - - - - Where, how, and why gibbering mouthers originated are questions without answers. They share certain similarities with the much more powerful shoggoths, leading to theories that the two creatures share an origin; less charitable scholars have suggested that the gibbering mouther is instead a mortal's attempt to create something akin to a shoggoth—though the question of why remains unanswered. Still others believe gibbering mouthers were sent to the world by the gods as a punishment for some forgotten but surely terrible transgression. Gibbering mouthers themselves have little to say on the matter—at least, not in any sort of sense. Scholars have wasted countless hours in attempts to make sense of gibbering mouthers' noises—studies that put researchers into danger and give results that are contradictory and confusing at best. - - - - - Whatever their origin, gibbering mouthers range the entirety of Golarion. Sightings have been recorded in dungeons below ancient cities and ruins as well as many regions of the deeper Darklands layers of Sekamina and Orv. They are somewhat less common in the upper region of Nar-Voth, perhaps due to the prevalence of settlements that don't tolerate gibbering mouthers' presence. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 20 - level: 5 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - N - - Medium - - Aberration - senses: - - Perception +15 - - darkvision - languages: - - Aklo - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 12 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - perception: 15 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 2 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: -3 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 21 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 15 - fort_misc: - ref: 12 - ref_misc: - will: 10 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 120 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - weaknesses: - - amount: 5 - type: bludgeoning - automatic_abilities: - - name: Gibbering - action_cost: None - traits: - - auditory - - aura - - emotion - - enchantment - - incapacitation - - mental - - occult - description: Each creature that begins its turn within 60 feet of a gibbering mouther must attempt a DC 19 Will save.

As cowardly as they are ugly, goblin dogs prefer to lurk behind bushes or in deep shadows, pouncing upon lone or wounded prey. Goblin dogs frequently lair and roam in packs, but they are likely to flee from a fight if injured, even if it means abandoning their pack-mates. - - - - - Goblin dogs take their name from their long association with goblins, who breed the beasts as guard animals and mounts. Most goblins take issue with the name, as the average goblin is appalled at the suggestion that these, their favored mounts, have anything at all to do with actual dogs. Of course, being goblins, they haven't bothered to come up with their own, unique name for goblin dogs. - - - - - Even the most pampered goblin dogs have itchy mange and prolific dander that tenaciously affects those who come in contact with them. This "goblin pox" causes itchy hives and festering sores that are as unsightly as they are irritating and distracting. Goblin dog dander causes allergic reactions in nearly all other creatures that don't share the goblin dogs' terrible hygiene—with the notable exception, of course, of goblins, who remain entirely immune to the disease regardless of cleanliness. - - - - - Hunger can drive goblin dogs to bouts of uncharacteristic violence; many goblins purposefully starve their pets to make them more aggressive in battle. Goblin dogs subsist on whatever organic material they can scavenge, and they particularly enjoy fresh carrion. Although goblins are far from picky eaters, they value goblin dogs as pets because the noisome animals will consume food that even goblins won't dare to eat. "Will it eat?" is one of several games goblins enjoy playing with their goblin dog pets, where a wide range of mouth-sized morsels (not always edible or safe to consume) are dangled before a goblin dog's snout. "Will it die?" is often a game played after "Will it eat?" Goblin dogs who survive the second game earn renown for their digestive prowess and often become favored tribal pets treated better than most of the rank-and-file goblins. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 15 - level: 1 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - N - - Medium - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +6 - - low-light vision - - scent (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - perception: 6 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 3 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: -1 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 17 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 8 - fort_misc: - ref: 8 - ref_misc: - will: 5 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 17 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Buck - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: DC 17 - raw_description: '**Buck** [Reaction] DC 17' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Irritating Dander - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A creature that hits the goblin dog with an unarmed attack, tries to Grapple it, or otherwise touches it is exposed to goblin pox. - raw_description: '**Irritating Dander** A creature that hits the goblin dog with an unarmed attack, tries to Grapple it, or otherwise touches it is exposed to goblin pox.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Juke - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: '**Juke** [Reaction] **Requirement** A creature must be mounted on the goblin dog. **Trigger** The rider issues a command to the goblin dog. **Effect** The goblin dog Steps before following the command.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: A creature must be mounted on the goblin dog. - effect: The rider issues a command to the goblin dog. - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - speed: - - amount: 40 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws - to_hit: 9 - traits: - damage: - formula: 1d6+3 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: goblin pox - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Goblin Pox - action_cost: None - traits: - - disease - description: Goblins and goblin dogs are immune to goblin pox. **Saving Throw** DC 17 Fortitude; **Stage 1** __sickened__ 1 (1 round); **Stage 2** sickened 1 and __slowed__ 1 (1 round); **Stage 3** sickened 2 and can't reduce its sickened value below 1 (1 day). - raw_description: "**Goblin Pox** (__disease__) Goblins and goblin dogs are immune to goblin pox. **Saving Throw** DC 17 Fortitude; **Stage 1** __sickened__ 1 (1 round); **Stage 2** sickened 1 and __slowed__ 1 (1 round); **Stage 3** sickened 2 and can't reduce its sickened value below 1 (1 day)." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Scratch - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - - manipulate - description: The goblin dog vigorously scratches itself, exposing all adjacent creatures to goblin pox. - raw_description: '**Scratch** [Two Actions] (__manipulate__) The goblin dog vigorously scratches itself, exposing all adjacent creatures to goblin pox.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: -- name: Goblin Pyro - source: - - abbr: Bestiary - page_start: 181 - page_stop: - description: >- - Some goblins take their people's admiration of fire fully into the realm of deadly obsession.

Hives of these skittering monsters haunt the lowest reaches of the Darklands, competing with cave worms and other subterranean horrors for food and resources. A gogiteth is rarely seen alone, as these oversized vermin learned long ago that the best means of survival is sticking close to others of their own kind. Even the haughty drow know to seek cover when a gogiteth is spotted, for where there is one, a swarm is sure to follow. - - - - - Gogiteths make a clacking sound as they move about. The joints in their many legs pop and crack with each movement, though they can suppress this sound voluntarily so that they can hunt without giving away their presence. The odd creatures can also make a high-pitched whistling sound that echoes throughout the caverns where they live. Some Darklands natives report that groups of gogiteths sometimes join together in eerie, discordant songs. - - - - - Gogiteths' alien anatomies have inspired no shortage of speculative origin stories. Some believe they are the result of a fleshwarping experiment gone horribly wrong. Others think they may be related in some way to the Dominion of the Black—possibly the distant cousins or some strange exile of that alien entity; according to this mythos, once they made their way to this planet, the gogiteths crawled into the depths of the earth, shying away from the blazing sun above. - - - - - Gogiteths are a menace to every other denizen of the Darklands. Drow and duergars in gogiteth-infested regions of Sekamina or Orv frequently organize hunting parties to eradicate the terrors, even calling for temporary truces with unlikely allies in times when a gogiteth presence must be addressed.

These ill-tempered beasts greet interlopers with a charge or trample accompanied with belches of petrifying breath. Gorgons are dangerous on their own, and when they band together in herds, they become especially deadly. - - - - - Gorgons typically subsist on petrified flesh or fossils. These supernatural beasts can gain sustenance from natural stone if they must, though they find raw stone flavorless, so it's not a preferred food source. In battle, gorgons use their petrifying breath to turn their prey into stone. They break up the resulting statues with their hooves or horns and swallow the stony chunks with loud chewing bites. Gorgons cannot digest unpetrified organic material, and if they try, they experience sickness and great gastrointestinal peril. Such discomforts are not life threatening to gorgons, but they do make the creatures even more ill tempered than usual—much to the chagrin of anyone they subsequently encounter. - - - - - Gorgon flesh tastes vaguely like beef, but with a gritty, earthy texture and aftertaste that most meat connoisseurs find off-putting. Creatures with a close association to earth and stone are more likely to find the flavor appetizing; stone giants in particular consider gorgon steaks to be delicacies. Some cultures, notably dwarven cultures, consider the preparation of gorgon for meals as both a physical and a culinary challenge. Chefs who work with gorgon flesh can find renown for their skill in creating palatable dishes from such naturally unpalatable meat. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 26 - level: 8 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - Uncommon - - N - - Large - - Beast - senses: - - Perception +19 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - perception: 19 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 28 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 18 - fort_misc: - ref: 13 - ref_misc: - will: 17 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 135 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - petrification - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: horn - to_hit: 20 - traits: - damage: - formula: 2d12+10 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: hoof - to_hit: 18 - traits: - damage: - formula: 2d6+10 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Breath Weapon - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - - earth - - incapacitation - - primal - - transmutation - description: "The gorgon breathes a 60-foot cone of green gas.

They make their dens in the shallows of fetid ponds or isolated corners of larger bodies of water, usually in rural swamps or woodlands. Driven almost entirely by their base desire to feed, grauladons spend most of their time swimming leisurely underwater looking for prey such as fish or waterfowl. Possessed of a greed befitting their more majestic dragon cousins, grauladons often take down prey larger than they need, jealously guarding the corpses to keep scavengers away even as the meat rots. A typical grauladon is 16 feet long from its snout to the tip of its tail and weighs 1,500 pounds. - - - - - A grauladon's stench may seem supernaturally disgusting, but it is simply the result of the creature's fetid habitat and diet of rotting, waterlogged meat. As grauladons' exhalations bear a passing resemblance to dragons' breath, they have earned the nickname "mud drakes" from rural folk. - - - - - Grauladons can be found in both fresh and brackish water in most temperate climates. They prefer to lair in shallow waters, particularly where reeds or other foliage conceal their bulk from unsuspecting prey. Grauladons are highly territorial and won't tolerate other predators living or hunting near their homes. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 18 - level: 2 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - Uncommon - - N - - Large - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +7 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - - Draconic - - can't speak any language - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 10 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 5 - misc: - perception: 7 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 0 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: -3 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: -2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 17 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 12 - fort_misc: - ref: 6 - ref_misc: - will: 7 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 35 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Reactive Breath - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: '**Reactive Breath** [Reaction] **Trigger** The grauladon takes damage from an adjacent creature. **Effect** The grauladon uses Noxious Breath, including the triggering creature in the area.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: The grauladon takes damage from an adjacent creature. - effect: The grauladon uses Noxious Breath, including the triggering creature in the area. - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - speed: - - amount: 20 - type: Land - - amount: 30 - type: swim - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws - to_hit: 10 - traits: - damage: - formula: 1d12+4 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: tail - to_hit: 10 - traits: - - agile - damage: - formula: 1d8+4 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Body Slam - action_cost: One Action - traits: - description: - raw_description: '**Body Slam** **Requirements** More than one enemy is adjacent to the grauladon. **Effect** The grauladon swings its tail at each adjacent enemy and attempts to Trip each creature adjacent to it.

As barghests have no innate ability to travel the planes, though, the time it takes for most greater barghests to engineer such a return can usually be measured in years, if not decades. During that time, greater barghests continue to play the roles of gluttons, hunters of humanity, and tyrants of goblinoid tribes. More than a few grow accustomed to such lives on the Material Plane and wholly abandon the end goal of returning to the Abyss, despite the fact that those who do make such a return home often grow even more powerful over time, gaining eerie new abilities and qualities absorbed from the raw chaos of the Abyss itself. - - - - - In addition to greater barghests being more powerful than typical barghests, the process of transforming into a greater barghest results in hideous mutations that often grant deadly abilities. Some barghests grow large bat-like wings upon their transformation. Others develop toxic breath or vestigial limbs.

They are physically striking, with the hindquarters of a lion and the head, wings, and forelimbs of a great bird of prey—typically an eagle, but some instead bear the features of a hawk, falcon, or even osprey or vulture. In rare cases, the griffon's hindquarters may resemble those of a different great cat, such as a leopard or tiger. The variations seem to conform to the environment in which the griffon lives—for instance, the especially rare griffons of northern Avistan have the hindquarters of a Grungir lynx and the upper body of a snowy owl—though this is not always the case. Some griffons lack wings altogether. These wingless griffons, known as alces, result from a rare mutation. Among a clutch of other griffons, the alce is typically considered the runt, so few of these offshoots survive their fledgling stage. Those alces that do make it to adulthood tend to be tougher, more violent, and more aloof than most griffons. - - - - - Wild griffons rely on their powerful wings to hold them aloft and their keen eyesight to spy out prey. The speed with which they plunge toward the ground and grab up their victims is shocking. They may tear open victim's flesh with their razor-sharp beaks, but usually just take their prey to a high, secluded location where they can enjoy their feast without interruptions. On the ground, they take cover and leap out to ambush prey, then fly off with their prize. The exception to this is when a griffon is hunting to feed its offspring, in which case it will almost never purposefully bring a living creature back to its nest for fear of endangering its chicks. - - - - - Skilled animal trainers long ago learned how to raise griffons as mounts for military forces or powerful individuals. Such mounts are known for their strength, bravery, and unfailing loyalty. They are among the smartest of animals and possess a wisdom not normally afforded most animals; it is thought that a griffon chooses its rider as much as a rider chooses the griffon. The process of training a griffon to accept and carry a rider in flight is a long and expensive ordeal. Griffon trainers charge rich sums for their services, and a ruler who can boast of owning a stable of griffons is the subject of great respect and envy. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 19 - level: 4 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - N - - Large - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +11 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 12 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - perception: 11 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: -1 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 21 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 13 - fort_misc: - ref: 13 - ref_misc: - will: 7 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 60 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - - amount: 60 - type: fly - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: beak - to_hit: 14 - traits: - - deadly 1d10 - damage: - formula: 2d8+4 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: talon - to_hit: 14 - traits: - - agile - damage: - formula: 2d6+4 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: wing - to_hit: 14 - traits: - - reach 10 feet - damage: - formula: 2d6+4 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Flying Strafe - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - description: The griffon Flies up to its fly Speed and makes two talon Strikes at any point during that movement.

It is instead compelled by sinister agendas arising within the nighted realm of Abaddon, where the Horsemen of the Apocalypse rule. Indeed there are many similarities in shape and form between the Grim Reaper and Charon, the Horseman of Death, but no recorded instance exists of these two powerful entities working together. Instead, the Grim Reaper serves as something of a manifestation of Abaddon itself, and in this regard is believed by some to be an incarnation of the mysterious First Horseman. When the Grim Reaper comes to a world, it does so not as an angel of mercy, but as a relentless harvester of life. Those who fall to the Grim Reaper were not destined to die as much as they were selected, hunted, and murdered. - - - - - Perhaps the most frightening legends surrounding the Grim Reaper concern its nature as a singular entity, for some believe that more than one grim reaper exists in the Great Beyond. These whispers tell of a cabal of at least nine of these creatures that stalk reality, culling the living as inexplicable servants of true entropy. According to the teaching of some death cults, the final goal of the Grim Reaper is to end the entire cycle of life and death and serve as a silent lord of an empty universe. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Undead__ (__Religion__)**: DC 52 - level: 21 - rarity: Rare - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Medium - traits: - - Rare - - NE - - Medium - - Undead - senses: - - Perception +41 - - darkvision - - see invisibility - - status sight - - true seeing - languages: - - Common - - Necril - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 43 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 38 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 40 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 43 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 39 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 36 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 43 - misc: - perception: 41 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 8 - dex_mod: 10 - con_mod: 8 - int_mod: 5 - wis_mod: 7 - cha_mod: 8 - sense_abilities: - - name: Death's Grace - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The grim reaper can choose whether or not it counts as undead for effects that affect undead differently.

Though they prefer to hunt from the shadows, grimstalkers do not fear taking their grisly work to the very edges of civilization. This boldness serves as a reminder that nature can be cruel, capricious, and owes no debt to humanity. Grimstalkers are happy to perform nature's dirty work and particularly enjoy targeting loggers, hunters, and explorers, regardless of whether they respect the natural setting they work or travel within. - - - - - Grimstalkers are gaunt and hairless, and their mottled, green and brown flesh gives them the appearance of moss-draped bark. When damaged, they bleed a thick, sap-like blood. They mark their territories by lopping off the heads of their victims and stringing them up in the surrounding trees, a practice that often lures dangerous scavengers into their lands. Carnivorous and thorny plants are often found in wilds where grimstalkers dwell, filling roles that pets might in human society, though grimstalkers tend to treat these "pets" poorly at best. - - - - - There are few accounts of grimstalkers working with other fey—for the most part, grimstalkers see their kin from the First World as cowards or weaklings, or perhaps both. Even notoriously violent fey such as redcaps shy from them, as grimstalkers consider their own kind the only company worth keeping. - - - - - Grimstalkers hunt in small bands, using stealth to approach their targets. They surround enemies first, then work to unnerve them by knocking on trees or howling out threats in Aklo to distract and panic their quarry. Of course, a band of grimstalkers won't stay together for long, quickly succumbing to bickering and infighting. These violent arguments are common pastimes among grimstalkers, often ending with each grimstalker going its own way. Not even the presence of more powerful fey or commanding creatures can keep grimstalkers from their predisposed bickering. Some scholars theorize that this quality speaks to an ancient curse that once afflicted fey who were judged too cantankerous, but in truth, it's just part of what makes a grimstalker what it is: ill-tempered, confrontational, and bitter. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fey__ (__Nature__)**: DC 20 - level: 5 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Medium - traits: - - CE - - Medium - - Fey - senses: - - Perception +12 - - low-light vision - languages: - - Aklo - - Common - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 12 - misc: - perception: 12 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 2 - sense_abilities: - - name: Camouflage - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A grimstalker can __Hide__ in natural environments, even if it doesn't have cover. - raw_description: "**Camouflage** A grimstalker can __Hide__ in natural environments, even if it doesn't have cover." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 22 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 9 - fort_misc: - ref: 15 - ref_misc: - will: 12 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 60 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - weaknesses: - - amount: 5 - type: cold iron - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 40 - type: Land - - amount: 20 - type: climb - - amount: - type: woodland stride - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: claw - to_hit: 15 - traits: - - agile - damage: - formula: 2d6+7 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: grimstalker sap - ranged: - spell_lists: - - name: Primal Innate Spells - dc: 22 - to_hit: 14 - misc: '' - spell_groups: - - level: 3 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: earthbind - frequency: - requirement: - - name: wall of thorns - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 2 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: entangle - frequency: - requirement: - - name: pass without trace - frequency: - requirement: - - name: tree shape - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 0 - heightened_level: 3 - spells: - - name: tanglefoot - frequency: - requirement: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Grimstalker Sap - action_cost: None - traits: - - poison - description: '**Saving Throw** DC 22 Fortitude; **Maximum Duration** 6 rounds; **Stage 1** 1d6 poison damage (1 round); **Stage 2** 1d6 poison damage and __clumsy 1__ (1 round), **Stage 3** 2d6 poison damage and clumsy 2 (1 round)' - raw_description: '**Grimstalker Sap** (__poison__) **Saving Throw** DC 22 Fortitude; **Maximum Duration** 6 rounds; **Stage 1** 1d6 poison damage (1 round); **Stage 2** 1d6 poison damage and __clumsy 1__ (1 round), **Stage 3** 2d6 poison damage and clumsy 2 (1 round)' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Woodland Stride - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A grimstalker can always find a path, almost as if foliage parts before it.

They dwell mostly in shallow waters both fresh and briny, including lakes, rivers, coastal regions, and near coral reefs. Grindylows generally organize into schools ranging from a few individuals to a few hundred. Smaller schools can sometimes be brought under the leadership of a powerful aquatic creature, though such alliances last only until the school faces a major setback, at which point the surviving grindylows scatter and form smaller schools of their own. - - - - - Grindylows aren't territorial, but they are pragmatic; while they rarely build permanent structures, they will adopt a good hunting ground for generations until driven away by predators. They often lair in mobile shelters, such as a sargasso of seaweed or the hull of an abandoned ship. They are skilled scavengers and hunters that eat anything they can sink their teeth into. - - - - - Grindylows respect the power of bigger sea predators but have a special hatred for squids (or anything they believe looks like a squid). Sailors plying grindylow-infested waters often paint the images of squids on the bottoms of their hulls in hopes of warding the little terrors off. While this can keep smaller schools at bay, it can also backfire, potentially inciting larger groups to gather for a coordinated attack; this becomes especially more likely if the ship's route becomes predictable. This hatred of squids does not extend to other tentacled creatures; grindylows consider octopuses to be the epitome of grace and power. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 14 - level: 0 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Small - traits: - - CE - - Small - - Aberration - - Amphibious - senses: - - Perception +5 - - darkvision - languages: - - Aquan - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 5 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 5 - misc: - perception: 5 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 1 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: -1 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - items: - - spear - ac: 15 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 6 - fort_misc: - ref: 7 - ref_misc: - will: 5 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 14 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Attack of Opportunity - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: A grindylow gains 1 extra reaction at the start of each of its turns that it can use only to make an Attack of Opportunity with a tentacle.

These frog-like humanoids are uniquely adapted to their environment, with oversized eyes that give them keen vision in both light and dark and large toes that allow them to easily scale trees. Gripplis vary widely in physical appearance, with their physiologies influenced by their surrounding environment. Those who live in verdant forests, for example, typically have bright green skin and red eyes. In contrast, gripplis who live in regions of rot and decay have mottled-brown coloration, and those who dwell near lakes or streams may bear bright blue and orange stripes. Typical gripplis stand just over 2 feet tall and weigh approximately 30 pounds. - - - - - Whatever region they come from, gripplis tend to be peaceful hunter-gatherers. Due to their modest understanding of agriculture, gripplis don't maintain typical farms like other humanoids do. Rather, they cultivate mushroom patches and gather a wide array of fruits from the surrounding wilderness. While most gripplis hunt insects, some societies also capture and breed them, nurturing herds of giant dragonflies or beetles that they eventually slaughter for food. Particularly enterprising gripplis might even seek out and tame larger flying insects to use as mounts during their hunts.

When grodairs wish to leave for a new location, they simply suck up all the water back up. When necessary, grodairs can also travel on land by walking upon the tangle of long, fleshy tentacles that dangle from their bellies. - - - - - Grodairs have two sets of eyes that function independently. While this makes the creatures difficult to surprise, it also makes them easy to distract. During conversations, they have a tendency to lose focus quickly and have difficulty remembering things. Still, they are avid conversationalists and enjoy hearing tales about the world. While this quality makes grodairs quite likable, they aren't reliable. They have difficulty following plans or schedules, and they can keep a secret only if they happen to forget it first. For these reasons, grodairs don't always make the best allies. - - - - - Grodairs are voracious and curious omnivores who love trying new foods—in fact, the pursuit of new and interesting food is the most common reason that they venture out of First World.

Victims are taken to rancid lairs marked with strange runes and sacrificed to the gugs' wicked gods of blood, darkness, and nightmares.

These monsters are known as savants, are never less than 12th level in power, and gain several occult innate spells.

Although harpies will eat goblins if sufficiently hungry, they dislike their flavor and avoid eating them if possible. This doesn't comfort goblins, of course, who have a particularly strong fear of harpies.

Many who perish in service to a Hellknight order are glad to rest after having served their masters so faithfully, but others seek to continue their work even in death. When a Hellknight is decapitated, the ghostly undead known as a hellcrown is an occasional result. Consumed by the desire to bring about order by inflicting cruelty, hellcrowns haunt battlefields and abandoned castles, slaying all they encounter. A strange fusion of spirit and steel, a hellcrown has no corporeal form by itself, but instead inhabits the helmet it so proudly wore in life. Dangling from the helmet like a shroud is a shadow of the former Hellknight's spine, adding to the creature's terrifyingly gruesome appearance. Hellknights regard hellcrowns with a mixture of disgust and respect, considering the individuals who transform into these floating undead to have been resolute in purpose but weak in body. - - - - - A hellcrown usually manifests hours or longer after its body's death, and only when its body is unattended; this might even take days if the Hellknight perished in a major battle. Typically, no recognizable fragment of the Hellknight's former personality survives the grisly transformation into a hellcrown, but in rare and particularly tragic cases a hellcrown might remember its life and hold grudges against those it views as the cause of its death. Regardless of whether they retain memories of their lives or have lost all former sense of self, hellcrowns linger around the site of their death, reminding all they encounter of the merciless principles of their order. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Undead__ (__Religion__)**: DC 17 - level: 1 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Tiny - traits: - - Uncommon - - LE - - Tiny - - Undead - senses: - - Perception +10 - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - skills: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - perception: 10 - ability_mods: - str_mod: -2 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: -1 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: 1 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 16 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 4 - fort_misc: - ref: 6 - ref_misc: - will: 10 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 20 - hp_misc: negative healing - immunities: - - death effects - - disease - - paralyzed - - poison - - unconscious - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: fly - melee: - ranged: - - action_cost: One Action - name: nail - to_hit: 9 - traits: - - range increment 20 feet - damage: - formula: 1d4+2 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: bleeding nail - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Bleeding Nail - action_cost: None - traits: - description: If the hellcrown hits with a nail Strike, the target must attempt a DC 16 Fortitude save.

These monsters, stripped of personal will or desire, are born into the service of an evil god whom they worship unerringly and untiringly, often in spite of any opposing religious leanings they may have had in life. Every herecite harbors an unquenchable self-hatred because it was defiled by such a foul resurrection—a rage it turns outward in an attempt to rob others of their faith and lives. - - - - - Herecites often outlast the cults that create them. Stranded herecites are drawn to others of their kind, even if they are dedicated to different evil deities, and when brought together they perform rites to magically bind themselves in a group known as a cabal. While cabal members share enhanced magic and defenses, induction into a cabal appears to hold even deeper significance for herecites. The presence of others of their kind with whom they can pray—in verses warped to venerate wicked gods—seems the only solace these tormented beings can find in undeath. Such a fellowship of sorrow is nigh unbreakable, as many an overzealous crusader has discovered far too late. - - - - - Customarily found within heavily modified temples to the pantheon of gods they collectively worship, herecites act in service to their creators or as protectors of unholy ground. High priests of different evil gods may even trade herecites among themselves, allowing their minions to form cabals strengthened by their varied faiths. A lone herecite cut off from its creators—often because it is the sole remnant of a destroyed temple or its master has perished—may wander far and wide in search of a cabal to join. Other times, the herecite seeks out a place sacred to the deity it worshipped in life. Whether motivated by a desire for contrition or vengeance, the end result of this baleful pilgrimage is always the desecration of the holy site and the slaughter of its congregants, who may in turn rise as lesser forms of undead. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Undead__ (__Religion__)**: DC 29 - level: 10 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Medium - traits: - - Uncommon - - CE - - Medium - - Undead - senses: - - Perception +20 - - darkvision - - detect alignment (good only) - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Infernal - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Zevgavizeb Lore ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - perception: 20 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 7 - sense_abilities: - - name: Cabal - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Multiple herecites can form a cabal to gain increased magical abilities and defenses.

Regardless of their original source, these animals are now a common sight in the skies above their favored plains or hill country. - - - - - Hippogriffs bear the wings, forelegs, and head of a bird of prey, with feather coloration similar to that of a hawk or eagle, though some breeders have managed to produce specimens with stark-white or coal-black feathers. Their torso, hindquarters, and tail resemble those of a horse and usually are colored bay, chestnut, or gray, with some coats bearing black, pinto, or even palomino coloration. - - - - - Hippogriffs are similar in size to large horses. Much like their equine cousins, hippogriffs often have to keep wary eyes on the skies above them, as both are preferred meals for hungry griffons and wyverns. Only hippogriffs' superior speed helps protect them from these predators. - - - - - Hippogriffs are exceptionally territorial and fiercely protect the lands under their domain. They typically favor sweeping grasslands, rolling hills, and prairies. Exceptionally hardy hippogriffs make their homes nestled into niches on canyon walls, from which they comb the rocky deserts for coyotes, deer, and the occasional humanoid. Hippogriffs prefer mammalian prey, but they graze after every meal to aid in digestion. - - - - - Since hippogriff hunting habits can be dangerous to both ranchers and their livestock, such communities often set bounties on hippogriffs. As a result, preserved hippogriffs frequently decorate frontier taverns and remote outposts alongside the taxidermic remains of deer, elk, and bears. - - - - - However, other communities train hippogriffs from hatching to be ridden by elite soldiers in combat— the most notable among these groups in the Inner Sea region is the Sable Company Mercenaries in the city-state of Korvosa. Attempts are sometimes made to train adult hippogriffs in the same manner, but this often proves far more difficult. Hippogriff riders must use special saddles and combat techniques that allow them to act in concert with their mount, fighting effectively while avoiding interfering with the movement of their companion's wings. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 16 - level: 2 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - N - - Large - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +8 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - perception: 8 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 3 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 18 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 8 - fort_misc: - ref: 9 - ref_misc: - will: 6 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 32 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Buck - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: DC 17 - raw_description: '**__Buck__ [Reaction]** DC 17' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - speed: - - amount: 30 - type: Land - - amount: 65 - type: fly - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: beak - to_hit: 9 - traits: - damage: - formula: 1d10+3 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: talon - to_hit: 9 - traits: - - agile - damage: - formula: 1d6+3 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: wing - to_hit: 9 - traits: - - reach 10 feet - damage: - formula: 1d6+3 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Flying Strafe - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - description: The hippogriff __Flies__ up to its fly speed and makes two talon Strikes at any point during that movement.

These vicious predators' long claws can tear creatures apart in seconds. Their backs sport dozens of long spines that run from their snouts all the way down the length of their powerful tails. Their wide mouths are full of sharp and twisted rows of teeth not unlike those of a shark. The hodags' rough, scaly hides carry hues of green and brown, allowing them to blend into their forest surroundings where they ambush prey.

When a crafter first begins to study the art of creating constructs, she often crafts a homunculus first, since the creation process is simple and inexpensive due to a magical shortcut: the use of the creator's own blood. This forges a link between the homunculus and its master, causing the homunculus to gain a spark of the creator's intellect, as well as the same moral values and some of the creator's basic personality traits. Homunculi left to their own devices never stray far from their masters. - - - - - In most cases, a homunculus doesn't survive the death of its master for long. Deprived of its creator, a homunculus loses focus and grows increasingly self-destructive, and some even end up battering themselves to destruction. Rarely, a homunculus with a slain master survives the trauma with its mind intact, often seeing itself as its deceased creator's child or successor and attempting to further its creator's legacy as best it can. In such cases, and if the homunculus was in close proximity to its master upon that creature's death, a portion of the dead master's soul "infects" the surviving homunculus as it passes on to the afterlife. This doesn't result in a truly soulbound homunculus (see sidebar), since only a fragment of the soul is left behind, but this is still enough to grant the homunculus a greater personality, free will of its own, and perhaps most importantly, the ability to speak. Over time, a few of these "awakened" homunculi even go so far as to become convinced that they are the reincarnation of their prior masters, although their actual personalities never quite reach the depth and complexity of a truly living creature. They are, at best, caricatures of the master, and at worst they become awful, bitter-minded parodies of life itself.

Interlocutors average 9 feet tall and weigh approximately 800 pounds. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fiend__ (__Religion__)**: DC 30 - level: 12 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Large - traits: - - LE - - Large - - Fiend - - Velstrac - senses: - - Perception +24 - - greater darkvision - - painsight - languages: - - Common - - Infernal - - Shadowtongue - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Crafting ' - bonus: 22 - misc: +24 sculpting flesh - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Medicine ' - bonus: 26 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - - name: 'Torture Lore ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - perception: 24 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 6 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - - name: Painsight - action_cost: None - traits: - - divination - - divine - description: A velstrac automatically knows whether a creature it sees has any of the __doomed__, __dying__, and __wounded__ conditions, as well as the value of those conditions. - raw_description: '**Painsight** (divination, divine) A velstrac automatically knows whether a creature it sees has any of the __doomed__, __dying__, and __wounded__ conditions, as well as the value of those conditions.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 33 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 23 - fort_misc: - ref: 21 - ref_misc: - will: 26 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 215 - hp_misc: regeneration 20 (deactivated by good or silver - immunities: - - cold - resistances: - - amount: 15 - type: good - - amount: 15 - type: silver - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Glimpse of Stolen Flesh - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - divine - - enchantment - - fear - - mental - - visual - description: >- - 30 feet.

This effect is desirable for some—particularly the circuses, menageries, and royal courts that typically purchase these glowing beasts—but never for the animal itself. Because the effects of the transformation are so deleterious, the act of creating an iridescent animal is strongly frowned upon by druids and other naturalists, some of whom dedicate their lives to rescuing and fostering these maltreated creatures. The procedure cannot be reversed, and few iridescent animals are fit to live in the wild after the transformation, cementing their lot in life to serve as showy beasts of burden or objects of entertainment and ridicule. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 25 - level: 7 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Huge - traits: - - Uncommon - - N - - Huge - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +11 - - scent (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - perception: 11 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 0 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 21 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 16 - fort_misc: - ref: 9 - ref_misc: - will: 14 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 110 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Glowing Bones - action_cost: None - traits: - description: An iridescent animal emits phosphorescent bright light in a 15-foot aura.

Their jagged gray shells allow them to blend into the rocky walls of the high mountain passes and deep ravines that serve as their hunting grounds. Despite their size, they move with incredible alacrity, bounding across chasms and skittering up sheer mountain cliffs without pause. Though they are formidable in melee, irlgaunts have an even more powerful ranged attack. These creatures can pelt their opponents by forcefully regurgitating gastroliths—melon-sized clusters of rocks enveloped in coagulated digestive enzymes strong enough to break down flesh and bone. Gastroliths are fragile and explode on contact, spraying the area with shards of rock and caustic acid. - - - - - While one might easily mistake an irlgaunt for a simple brutish beast, they have a keen intelligence and use devious hunting strategies. They set traps for travelers and are fond of using gems and magical items taken from previous victims as bait.

They also use their gastroliths to direct the movements of their prey, forcing victims into dead ends at the edge of chasms or cliffs. - - - - - For the most part, irlgaunts live solitary lives, likely because finding enough food to sustain a community tends to be difficult. However, they still maintain a sense of extended, regional community, actively gathering when organizing for war or to discuss other issues that affect their species or shared territories. They have been known to occasionally ally with giants, but these truces are usually nebulous. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 31 - level: 13 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Large - traits: - - NE - - Large - - Aberration - - Earth - senses: - - Perception +24 - - darkvision - languages: - - Aklo - - Common - - Jotun - - Terran - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 26 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 27 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - perception: 24 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 8 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 4 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 4 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 34 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 22 - fort_misc: - ref: 25 - ref_misc: - will: 24 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 265 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - weaknesses: - - amount: 10 - type: bludgeoning - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 30 - type: Land - - amount: 30 - type: climb - - amount: - type: stone step - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws - to_hit: 26 - traits: - damage: - formula: 3d8+13 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: 2d6 - type: acid - - action_cost: One Action - name: legs - to_hit: 26 - traits: - - agile - damage: - formula: 3d10+13 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - - name: Primal Innate Spells - dc: 31 - to_hit: - misc: - spell_groups: - - level: 6 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: stone tell - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 4 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: meld into stone - frequency: at will - requirement: - - name: shape stone - frequency: at will - requirement: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Regurgitate Gastrolith - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - - acid - - evocation - - primal - description: The irlgaunt violently regurgitates a melonsized clot of brittle stone supernaturally infused with digestive enzymes.

The jabberwock hails from the fey realm of the First World and is part of a group of powerful __First World__ creatures known collectively as the Tane.\n\n\n\nLike all members of the Tane, jabberwocks are living creatures that age, eat, drink, and sleep, but do not reproduce normally. Instead, they are created directly by the godlike Eldest who rule the First World, and they serve at the pleasure (or frustration) of these capricious and mysterious entities. Believed to be the most powerful of all the Tane, jabberwocks are typically only ever created with one purpose: to wreak destruction and havoc upon the Material Plane. One of the Eldest might send a jabberwock to devastate a country, continent, or even entire world in order to get revenge for some slight made against them by a single mortal. Sometimes, no specific insult or injury is required, as some of the Eldest resent the very existence of the Material Plane and periodically create jabberwocks simply to express the wrath of the First World against its younger and less chaotic sibling.\n\n\n\nOnce a jabberwock arrives on the Material Plane, its first order of business is to seek out a lair. It prefers dwelling in remote forest locations about a day's flight from civilization—the more dangerous the woodland is to those who might eventually come hunting it, the better! \n\n\n\nThe relationship between jabberwocks and __vorpal__ weapons is the subject of much debate and speculation among scholars, and the various poems, songs, and legends about the jabberwock do little to clarify the issue, conflicting and diverging on this point. Some believe that vorpal weapons were first created specifically to combat jabberwocks, but others take the story one step further. They cite evidence in certain ancient myths that there may once have been only a single, unique jabberwock, so powerful that nothing could so much as scratch it—nothing, that is, except for the first vorpal sword, crafted for that very purpose. So epic was the resulting battle that it created strange echoes throughout reality, and as a result, these echoes, in the form of vorpal weapons, can now be found on many worlds. Those who subscribe to this belief claim that the jabberwocks seen today are but pale imitations of this proto-jabberwock, and they speculate that only the combined efforts of several Eldest would be sufficient to create such a creature again.\n\n\n\n\n\n## Variant Jabberwocks\n\nThe Eldest have sometimes altered certain aspects of the jabberwocks they create. Some of the more notorious or legendary variant jabberwocks include the following.\n\n\n\n**Frumious Jabberwock**: Frumious jabberwocks have two heads. They are level 24 and gain an extra action on each of their turns they can use only to make a jaws Strike.\n\n\n\n**Mimsy Jabberwock**: Typically hailing from wintry regions of the First World, mimsy jabberwocks have glowing blue-white scales, resist cold instead of fire, and have eyes that burn with blue flames that deal cold damage instead of fire damage.\n\n\n\n**Slithy Jabberwock**: Wreaking destruction beneath the waves, these sinuous and slimy jabberwocks are amphibious, have a swim Speed of 80 feet instead of the normal fly Speed, and do not have a wing Strike. A slithy jabberwock's whiffling aura is activated whenever it swims, makes a tail Strike, or Burbles.\n\n\n\n**__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 51" - level: 23 - rarity: Rare - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Huge - traits: - - Rare - - CE - - Huge - - Dragon - - Tane - senses: - - Perception +40 - - darkvision - - scent 120 feet - - true seeing - languages: - - Aklo - - Common - - Draconic - - Gnomish - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 40 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 44 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 41 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 38 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 40 - misc: - perception: 40 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 11 - dex_mod: 7 - con_mod: 10 - int_mod: 4 - wis_mod: 9 - cha_mod: 8 - sense_abilities: - - name: Planar Acclimation - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The jabberwock always treats the plane it is currently located on as its home plane. - raw_description: '**Planar Acclimation** The jabberwock always treats the plane it is currently located on as its home plane.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 49 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 39 - fort_misc: - ref: 37 - ref_misc: - will: 40 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 500 - hp_misc: regeneration 25 (deactivated by vorpal weapons - immunities: - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 20 - type: fire - weaknesses: - - amount: 20 - type: vorpal weapons - - amount: - type: vorpal fear - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 100 feet, DC 43 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 100 feet, DC 43 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

A keketar's actual appearance is in constant flux, but they generally stay about 18 feet long with a weight of around 1,500 pounds. While their physical forms can vary, two things remain constant: First, a keketar's eyes are always a piercing shade of amber or violet. Second, the keketar's mark of office—a crown of shifting symbols that hovers above its head—never changes. A keketar cannot remove its crown but can suppress it, although most are loath to do so and consider such an act one of cowardice or shame. - - - - - Keketars fill a role in protean society of a sort of priesthood, operating as intermediaries between the other proteans and the Speakers of the Depths. All other proteans defer to keketars, treating them in a way similar to how citizens of a mortal city would treat respected nobles; even more powerful proteans defer to the will of the keketars. As with many religions, dogma and theology are prone to interpretation and change, and among the proteans the situation is perhaps even more pronounced. Whatever the nature of and desires held by the mysterious Speakers of the Depths, individual keketars may come to dramatically different conclusions as to their will and intent. To the proteans, though, this inherent dissonance is a strength rather than a weakness. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Monitor__ (__Religion__)**: DC 36 - level: 17 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CN - size: Large - traits: - - CN - - Large - - Monitor - - Protean - senses: - - Perception +30 - - entropy sense (imprecise) 60 feet - - darkvision - languages: - - Abyssal - - Celestial - - Protean - - telepathy 100 feet - - tongues - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 26 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 30 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 33 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 35 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 35 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 30 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - perception: 30 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 9 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 7 - int_mod: 5 - wis_mod: 7 - cha_mod: 7 - sense_abilities: - - name: Entropy Sense - action_cost: None - traits: - - divination - - divine - - prediction - description: A keketar can anticipate the most likely presence of a creature through a supernatural insight into chaotic probabilities and chance.

At first glance, kishi appear to be attractive humans, usually of a local ethnicity, but their full heads of thick hair conceal a second face, that of a snarling hyena. When a kishi lures their prey into a vulnerable situation, their head swivels around, revealing this fearsome visage. In this form, a kishi's powerful jaws are almost impossible to pry loose and can crush a victim's bones in a matter of moments. Kishi are highly varied in their physical features, and their height and weight are as variable as the people whose communities they infiltrate. - - - - - Like most fey, a kishi's motives are inscrutable, though to its victims, the kishi's goal seems simple—to revel in the expression of shock, betrayal, and terror on a victim's face. Although kishi can cast charm to make unwitting companions complacent, most of these sinister creatures prefer to trick their prey using guile, gifts, and their dashing good looks. Kishi are the ultimate sociopaths, deriving pleasure from the thrill of the hunt as well as the delicious reward at the end. The more uptight, prudish, or haughty a target, the better, for nothing satisfies kishi as much as earning (and destroying) the trust of someone who rarely grants it. - - - - - When kishi get their new friends or lovers alone, they choose the most dramatic moments to reveal their true, monstrous forms and clamp their jaws down on their victim. Kishi have no desire to share their true nature with the entire village, so they typically aim for the throats of their victims, who, cut off from air, are unable to cry out for help. Kishi consume every part of their victims' bodies, leaving no trace of the crime—even lapping up any spilled blood and cleaning the murder scene as much as they are able. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fey__ (__Nature__)**: DC 24 - level: 8 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Medium - traits: - - NE - - Medium - - Fey - senses: - - Perception +14 - - low-light vision - languages: - - Common - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - perception: 14 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 1 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 25 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 13 - fort_misc: - ref: 18 - ref_misc: - will: 17 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 138 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: piercing - weaknesses: - - amount: 10 - type: cold iron - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws - to_hit: 20 - traits: - damage: - formula: 2d10+9 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: Grab - - action_cost: One Action - name: claw - to_hit: 20 - traits: - - agile - damage: - formula: 2d8+9 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - - name: Arcane Innate Spells - dc: 27 - to_hit: - misc: - spell_groups: - - level: 1 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: charm - frequency: at will - requirement: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Constrict - action_cost: One Action - traits: - description: 1d10+9 piercing, DC 26 (grabbed by jaws only) - raw_description: '**Constrict** 1d10+9 piercing, DC 26 (grabbed by jaws only)' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Head Spin - action_cost: Free Action - traits: - description: The kishi switches between showing its attractive human face and its snarling hyena face.

While they are known to hunt and eat crocodiles, alligators, and virtually any creature with flesh, their favorite prey are lizardfolk, boggards, and dinosaurs. - - - - - Krooths are found alone or in packs. Male krooths are solitary and territorial creatures—fierce, bold, and bloodthirsty. Female krooths, on the other hand, are likely to shy away from potential predators but swiftly turn violent when their brood is threatened. Because their offspring are so vulnerable, female krooths gather in packs to raise their young, sending smaller groups to hunt for food while the rest of the pack watches the brood. Krooths mate only once every 4 or 5 years, and the mating process is a curiously gruesome spectacle. An entire pack of females will hunt as a group for a lone male krooth, claiming their prize in an orgiastic frenzy that can last for an entire day and night. After the mating has finished, the females slay their mate and devour his nutrient-rich flesh, and his organs in particular. These organs contain a unique chemical compound vital to gestation. Many naturalists will pay handsomely for the fresh remains of a male krooth so they can study the strange properties of the creature's blood and organs. In addition, krooths have poisonous, hollow teeth. When these creatures bite their prey, a tooth breaks off and causes the victim to bleed profusely as their blood pours through the hollow tooth. - - - - - Whether male or female, krooths seem to be repelled by goblinoid flesh, especially that of bugbears. This doesn't mean krooths won't kill goblinoids, especially those threatening their young, but they typically do so using only their claws and tails, and they take great care to clean themselves thoroughly after such a killing. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 24 - level: 8 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - N - - Large - - Amphibious - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +16 - - low-light vision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 18 - misc: +20 in water - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 17 - misc: +20 to Track a bleeding creature - perception: 16 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 26 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 20 - fort_misc: - ref: 17 - ref_misc: - will: 14 - will_misc: - misc: +4 status to all saves vs. fear - hp: 150 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Attack of Opportunity - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: Tail only. - raw_description: "**Attack of Opportunity** [Reaction] **Trigger** A creature within your reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. **Effect** You lash out at a foe that leaves an opening.

Creatures affected by this curse grow reckless, becoming unaware of the consequences of their own actions and unable to think clearly. This makes the hapless victim all the more susceptible to the lamia's cunning illusions and insidious charms. The lamia's animalistic nature and the effect of their cursed touch has led some scholars to theorize that the original lamias must have, millennia ago, turned away from their own reason and intellect and embraced the life of simple beasts. Whether this change was rewarded as a monstrous gift from Lamashtu or inflicted as a curse for abandoning their responsibilities by Pharasma remains the subject of debate to this day. - - - - - Whatever the source of this ancient transformation, lamias themselves have grown to enjoy the strengths it has granted them. Regardless, they continue to cling to a hatred of the gods, seeing them as the cause of their monstrous forms and, thus, their eternal exile from the societies they watch with jealous eyes from their lairs amid the ruins of lost civilizations. Because lamias blame divine powers for their curse, they take special delight in the downfall of temples, the suffering and death of champions and clerics, and the spread of dissension within organized religions. - - - - - While they can brie y assume humanoid form with magic, lamias are usually forced to hide from civilization, making their homes in the barren wilderness. There, they attract cults of their own, gathering up chaotic and evil humanoids. With the help of these cultists, lamias strive to bring down popular faiths, introduce schisms into flourishing churches, and humiliate or defame high-profile religious leaders. Most lamias themselves have no true religious faith in anything, hearing instead a mystical calling that manifests as sighs on the desert wind or murmurs from the dark places between the stars. - - - - - Lamias are traditionally matriarchal, revering the eldest female among them as leader, mother, and shaman. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 22 - level: 6 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Large - traits: - - CE - - Large - - Beast - senses: - - Perception +13 - - darkvision - languages: - - Abyssal - - Common - skills: - - name: 'Cult Lore ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - perception: 13 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - - +1 spear - - javelin (2) - ac: 24 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 12 - fort_misc: - ref: 15 - ref_misc: - will: 15 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 95 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 40 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: spear - to_hit: 17 - traits: - damage: - formula: 1d6+8 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: claw - to_hit: 17 - traits: - - agile - damage: - formula: 1d6+8 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: Grab - ranged: - - action_cost: One Action - name: spear - to_hit: 14 - traits: - - thrown 20 feet - - versatile S - damage: - formula: 1d4+8 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: javelin - to_hit: 15 - traits: - - thrown 30 feet - damage: - formula: 1d6+8 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - spell_lists: - - name: Occult Innate Spells - dc: 25 - to_hit: - misc: - spell_groups: - - level: 4 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: charm - frequency: x3 - requirement: - - name: suggestion - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 3 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: sleep - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 2 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: humanoid form - frequency: at will - requirement: - - name: mirror image - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 1 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: illusory disguise - frequency: at will - requirement: - - name: illusory object - frequency: at will - requirement: - - name: ventriloquism - frequency: at will - requirement: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Lamia's Caress - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - - curse - - enchantment - - mental - - occult - description: The lamia touches a creature, who must succeed at a DC 23 Will save or become __stupefied 1__.

They fill their days with as much fun, wine, and food as possible. Mostly found in forested regions, leprechauns respect nature and those who protect it. - - - - - Leprechauns do not attack on sight. Rather, they engage in conversation and try to charm, cajole, or trick those they meet into doing favors for them or freely giving over a treasured item, usually in return for illusory wealth or false promises of wealth and success. These small tricksters are masters at discerning the desires of those they meet—a knack that puts them in a powerful position when bargaining for goods or favors. They aren't above turning people against each other for their own benefit but generally not to an extent that causes harm. - - - - - In most cases, a leprechaun doesn't keep a purloined possession for long. The leprechaun most often returns such stolen prizes just in time to defuse tensions, often as they point out the humor of the situation, hoping to share their amusement and mirth with the victim. In cases where a leprechaun's trick goes too far and results in an incensed victim, the leprechaun quickly flees the conflict rather than engage in combat. This willingness to return stolen goods or to flee from battles fades as leprechauns grow older. Ancient leprechauns who have lived for thousands of years often spiral into dark bitterness and increasingly use their powers and illusions to lure those who offend them or fail to appreciate a joke into danger... or even death. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fey__ (__Nature__)**: DC 16 - level: 2 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CN - size: Small - traits: - - CN - - Small - - Fey - senses: - - Perception +11 - - low-light vision - languages: - - Common - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Gold Lore ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Performance ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Thievery ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - perception: 11 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 1 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 1 - int_mod: 3 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 4 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 18 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 8 - fort_misc: - ref: 11 - ref_misc: - will: 10 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 25 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 30 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: club - to_hit: 7 - traits: - damage: - formula: 1d6+3 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - - name: Primal Innate Spells - dc: 18 - to_hit: 10 - misc: '' - spell_groups: - - level: 2 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: illusory creature - frequency: - requirement: - - name: illusory object - frequency: - requirement: - - name: invisibility - frequency: self only - requirement: - - level: 1 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: color spray - frequency: - requirement: - - name: shillelagh - frequency: - requirement: - - name: ventriloquism - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 0 - heightened_level: 2 - spells: - - name: dancing lights - frequency: - requirement: - - name: ghost sound - frequency: - requirement: - - name: mage hand - frequency: - requirement: - - name: prestidigitation - frequency: - requirement: - - name: telekinetic projectile - frequency: - requirement: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Create Object - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - - conjuration - - manipulate - - primal - description: - raw_description: "**Create Object** [Two Actions] (__conjuration__, __manipulate__, __primal__) **Frequency** three times per day; **Effect** The leprechaun produces an item out of their hat, from behind their jacket, from within a hole in a tree stump, or from any other unexpected location.

They are generally peaceful, but are quick to act if a masterful piece of art is threatened or free speech is suppressed. They pride themselves on inspiring mortals to greater heights of expression and creativity, and more than one bard looks to a lillend as their personal inspiration. Lillends sometimes secretly follow the adventures of mortal heroes to record their stories as epic poems and songs, which they then perform in the packed mead halls of Elysium. When pursuing such goals, lillends take pains to use their innate spells to remain in hiding, as they would rather observe and record events without "polluting" them with their own intervention. Nevertheless, a lillend who sees their charge faced with certain death often cannot resist the urge to intervene and save the day. Inevitably, this brings a close to the lillend's chronicles, as their relationship with their subject invariably shifts from one of detached observation to friendship or more. Yet lillends remain hesitant to involve themselves for overlong in a mortal's life, in part because they fear what sort of fiendish attention their presence might attract, but mostly out of respect for the mortal's own destiny. A lillend would, all things being equal, prefer to let mortals choose their own fate rather than run the risk of sending someone down a path to which their heart is not set. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Celestial__ (__Religion__)**: DC 23 - level: 7 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CG - size: Large - traits: - - CG - - Large - - Azata - - Celestial - senses: - - Perception +16 - - darkvision - languages: - - Celestial - - Draconic - - Infernal - - speak with animals - - speak with plants - - tongues - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Performance ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 12 - misc: - perception: 16 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - items: - - +1 longsword - - virtuoso harp - ac: 25 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 14 - fort_misc: - ref: 16 - ref_misc: - will: 16 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 145 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - weaknesses: - - amount: 10 - type: cold iron - - amount: 10 - type: evil - automatic_abilities: - - name: Free Expression - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A lillend's auditory and sonic effects attempt to counteract any effect that would directly control, manipulate, or prevent them from expressing themself freely, such as silence.

It typically looks like a cartoonish humanoid made of wet oil paint. These two-dimensional beings are unbound from the canvases on which they were originally drawn and can move along any flat surface they touch, including walls, floors, furniture, doors, and even bodies of still water. They cannot exist apart from the surfaces they traverse except in brief bursts, which they typically use to harass or attack nearby creatures. Although they are not incredibly intelligent, living graffiti exhibit a mischievous spitefulness and seeming desire to make the real world as much of a caricature as their own two-dimensional domain. \n\n## Variant Living Graffiti\n\n The living graffiti below is but one type of this strange creature. Other living graffiti exist, made from media like chalk, pastels, ink, or tempera, or even more archaic materials like mud, beeswax, or blood. The following are a few examples of the kinds of abilities such a variant living graffiti might have. \n\n\n\n**Blood**: The living graffiti gains the following ability.\n\n**Absorb Blood** Anytime a creature within 5 feet of the living graffiti takes slashing, piercing, or __persistent bleed__ damage, the graffiti gains a number of temporary HP equal to half the damage dealt to the adjacent creature. \n\n\n\n**Chalk**: The living graffiti gains the following ability. \n\n**Cone of Chalk** [Two Actions] The living graffiti expels a 15-foot cone of chalk. Creatures in the area must succeed at a DC 20 Reflex save or be blinded for 1 round. The living graffiti can't use Cone of Chalk again for 1d4 rounds. \n\n\n\n**Ink**: The living graffiti's HP increases to 60 and its splatter Strike deals 2d6 damage (in addition to blinding for 1 round), but it gains the following weakness.\n\n**Water Weakness** When the living graffiti is doused with water or starts its turn in water (either through a spell or some other effect, such as pouring a bucket of water over it), it takes 2d6 damage.\n\n\n\n**__Recall Knowledge - Construct__ (__Arcana__, __Crafting__)**: DC 18" - level: 3 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CN - size: Medium - traits: - - CN - - Medium - - Construct - senses: - - Perception +9 - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - - (can't speak any language) - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Crafting ' - bonus: 5 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 10 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - perception: 9 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 2 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 1 - int_mod: -2 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 1 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 19 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 8 - fort_misc: - ref: 11 - ref_misc: - will: 7 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 50 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - bleed - - death effects - - disease - - doomed - - drained - - fatigued - - healing - - necromancy - - nonlethal - - paralyzed - - poison - - sickened - - unconscious - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Backdrop - action_cost: None - traits: - description: When a creature attempts to Strike a living graffiti and critically misses, the attacker hits the surface (a wall, canvas, or so on) behind the living graffiti.

The toxic resin, which has a bitter taste, protects the tree from herbivorous insects and other animals, but in rare cases—usually in areas awash in positive energy or the influence of the First World—the sap gains a life of its own. Such "living sap" is a mindless ooze that attempts to smother and engulf just about anything that moves, from the bugs and small beasts that feed on its sharinga tree to larger creatures unlucky enough to stumble upon it. Due to its immunities to most forms of physical damage and its protectiveness of its mother tree, a living ooze is a nuisance to communities that rely on the sap of sharinga trees to make resin, rubber, and glue. - - - - - Jungle-dwelling alchemists such as __gripplis__ cherish the sap of the sharinga tree for its unique adhesive properties. The sap has been used for centuries to create tanglefoot bags, glue, and hard resin. Residue collected from a living sap is even more fascinating from an alchemical standpoint. Though harvesting a living sap is very dangerous, some alchemists will risk death (if not their own, then that of hearty adventurers for hire) in order to procure these easily worked ingredients. To increase the odds of a successful harvest, such employers are often willing to supply offensive aids such as lesser frost vials; living sap hunters learned long ago that cold energy is effective against these creatures and luckily doesn't harm the harvestable reagents. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Ooze__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 24 - level: 6 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - Uncommon - - N - - Medium - - Mindless - - Ooze - senses: - - Perception +7 - - motion sense 60 feet - - no vision - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 10 - misc: - perception: 7 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: -3 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: -5 - wis_mod: -5 - cha_mod: -5 - sense_abilities: - - name: Motion Sense - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Living sap can sense nearby motion through vibration and air movement. - raw_description: '**Motion Sense** Living sap can sense nearby motion through vibration and air movement.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 13 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 18 - fort_misc: - ref: 7 - ref_misc: - will: 5 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 175 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - critical hits - - mental - - piercing - - precision - - slashing - - unconscious - - visual - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: cold - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Adhesive Body - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A creature that Strikes a living sap with a melee weapon must succeed at a DC 24 Reflex save or be disarmed of that weapon.

At their worst, after too much exposure to the unfathomable entities that dwell in the darkness between the stars, they become dark prophets who drive others to commit terrible deeds in the name of abominable masters. - - - - - On Golarion, the lunar nagas of the nation of Nagajor use their abilities to serve many communities as soothsayers. A few have founded observatories in which they and their followers explore the night sky. Some nagas even use their knowledge of the stars as navigators on ships or overland caravans. In the broader world, where people do not give nagas deference as nearly divine rulers, lunar nagas try to avoid contact with outsiders or use their magical powers of disguise to hide their true forms from all but their most worthy allies. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 24 - level: 6 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - Uncommon - - N - - Large - - Aberration - senses: - - Perception +16 - - darkvision - languages: - - Aklo - - Celestial - - Common - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Astronomy Lore ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - perception: 16 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 2 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 24 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 15 - fort_misc: - ref: 16 - ref_misc: - will: 17 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 100 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: fangs - to_hit: 16 - traits: - - agile - - finesse - damage: - formula: 2d6+8 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: lunar naga venom - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Primal Spontaneous Spells - action_cost: None - traits: - description: >+ - DC 24, attack +16; **3rd** __heal__, __lightning bolt__, __slow__ (4 slots); **2nd** __glitterdust__, __humanoid form__, __invisibility__, __web__ (4 slots); **1st** __charm__, __fleet step__, __heal__, __spider sting__ (4 slots); **Cantrips** **(3rd)** __dancing lights__, __daze__, __detect magic__, __mage hand__, __read aura__ - - raw_description: >+ - **Primal Spontaneous Spells** DC 24, attack +16; **3rd** __heal__, __lightning bolt__, __slow__ (4 slots); **2nd** __glitterdust__, __humanoid form__, __invisibility__, __web__ (4 slots); **1st** __charm__, __fleet step__, __heal__, __spider sting__ (4 slots); **Cantrips** **(3rd)** __dancing lights__, __daze__, __detect magic__, __mage hand__, __read aura__ - - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Hypnosis - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - - concentrate - - enchantment - - incapacitation - - mental - - primal - - visual - description: - raw_description: "**Hypnosis** [Two Actions] (__concentrate__, __enchantment__, __incapacitation__, __mental__, __primal__, __visual__) **Frequency** once per day; **Effect** The lunar naga twists the coils of their serpentine body, causing the starlike motes on their scales to shift and move as they glow brighter, creating a mesmerizing swirl of light and darkness.

A manticore discovered by uneducated humanoids (especially those who are both lawful and evil) can sometimes become the center of adoration and even worship; a manticore in this situation swiftly gives in to its laziness and allows its acolytes to bring it tribute in the form of food and treasure, feasting upon its own followers when offerings become scarce. Stronger humanoids who encounter a manticore can cow it through intimidation and violence, sometimes even forcing it into service as a mount.

When a wildfire devastates a wilderness region on the Material Plane and results in the death of other fey, marrmoras can be drawn across the planar boundary to revel in the resulting destruction. They seek to reignite the fires that beckoned them, to gather up and feed upon the charred remains of those who perished within (particularly the bodies of dead fey), though they do grow homesick if they spend too much time away from the First World. They are burdened by a capricious but persistent rage and are unfailingly cruel. While they are capable of negotiation and intelligent interaction, they almost never bargain in good faith and typically interact with others only as a means to more efficiently spread their fiery devastation. - - - - - A marmorra's twisted appearance evokes the look of an __arboreal__ whose bark has been burnt down to charcoal. They have nearly featureless faces and hands ending in long, sharp claws. Their broken flesh looks like charcoal-burnt wood, riddled with cracks that still glow with an unwholesome heat. They trail ash wherever they walk, and wisps of smoke curl off of their bodies. Though marrmoras enjoy the sight of any woodland and its inhabitants roasting in the flames of their carefully curated fires, there is little that brings more pleasure to a marrmora than the sight of good-aligned plant creatures cooking to a crisp. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fey__ (__Nature__)**: DC 34 - level: 15 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Medium - traits: - - NE - - Medium - - Fey - - Fire - senses: - - Perception +27 - - low-light vision - languages: - - Common - - Elven - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 30 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 30 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 30 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 27 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 27 - misc: - perception: 27 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 8 - int_mod: 4 - wis_mod: 6 - cha_mod: 8 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 37 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 29 - fort_misc: - ref: 25 - ref_misc: - will: 27 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 280 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - fire - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: physical (except slashing) - weaknesses: - - amount: 15 - type: cold iron - automatic_abilities: - - name: Fascination of Flame - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - enchantment - - mental - - primal - description: 30 feet.

Medusas are shrewd and manipulative adversaries who collect and covet secrets, and who use threats and guile to exploit the fears of weaker creatures. A medusa may seek out powerful magic items, use divination magic to discover secret knowledge and unlock forbidden power, or infiltrate a society to beguile influential politicians. Their ability to worm their way into powerful organizations makes them natural leaders of criminal out ts and thieves' guilds, and their interest in magical phenomena leads some to pursue careers as oracles who offer to help adventurers find what they seek—for a price. Of course, if wit and deception proves insufficient, a medusa can always simply turn rivals into ornate stone decorations with little more than a glare. - - - - - Exceptionally agile and surprisingly hardy, a medusa rarely backs down from a conflict even when cornered. Many adventurers who thought themselves readied to resist the effects of a medusa's gaze have nevertheless fallen to a medusa, as these creatures are also often deadly archers able to riddle their foes with venom-coated arrows from a distance. Still, a medusa may barter for their life if no alternatives remain, and the secrets carried by these powerful villains often make it more than worth sparing the monster's life. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Humanoid__ (__Society__)**: DC 23 - level: 7 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Medium - traits: - - LE - - Medium - - Humanoid - senses: - - Perception +16 - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - skills: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - perception: 16 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 2 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: 2 - sense_abilities: - items: - - +1 composite shortbow (60 arrows) - - shortsword - ac: 25 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 15 - fort_misc: - ref: 16 - ref_misc: - will: 14 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 105 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Petrifying Gaze - action_cost: None - traits: - - arcane - - aura - - transmutation - - visual - description: 30 feet.

With souls marked by a lifetime of dealing death, these killers, whether mass murderers, bloodthirsty soldiers, or sadistic executioners, sometimes do not let judgment and lawful execution stanch their slaying sprees. When such individuals are brought to justice, they may rise after death as mohrgs to continue their ruinous work. - - - - - Drawn to others of their kind, mohrgs prefer to hunt in small groups, occasionally in partnership with weaker free-willed undead such as shadows and wights. They seek out weak prey and revel in causing drawn-out suffering. Some mohrgs haunt locations they favored in life, reenacting old crimes on new victims. They may even skulk about in public, wearing rags, cloaks, or freshly harvested skins to hide their nature. The most dangerous mohrgs are those who grow powerful enough to no longer fear being struck down again and openly assault settlements in an attempt to turn living towns into mass graves. - - - - - Since those slain by a mohrg rise soon thereafter as mohrg spawn, the murders of a mohrg rarely go unnoticed for long, even when they take extra care to prey only on a society's dregs. Since mohrg spawn remain under a mohrg's control, a canny mohrg might order its spawn to remain in hiding to keep its presence secret until a point where it feels confident unleashing its undead army upon a doomed settlement. Mohrgs retain a twisted sentimentality for the crimes of their mortal life, seeking out trinkets that remind them of favorite murders. When not out hunting, mohrgs arrange their mementos into disturbing shrines. Often, these trinkets are valuable objects, and might even provide important clues to ongoing mysteries. - - - - - - - ## Mohrg Spawn - - When a creature returns after death as a mohrg spawn, its flesh decays away save for its entrails, and it grows a long, awful tongue. The creature gains the undead trait and becomes chaotic evil, and it loses any abilities that come from it being a living creature.

The traditional method of creating a mummy guardian is a laborious and sadistic process that begins well before the poor soul to be transformed is dead, during which the victim is ritualistically starved of nourishing food and instead fed strange spices, preservative agents, and toxins intended to quicken the desiccation of the flesh. The victim remains immobile but painfully aware during the final stages, where its now-useless entrails are extracted before it's shrouded in funerary wrappings and entombed within a necromantically ensorcelled sarcophagus to await intrusions in the potentially distant future. While it's certainly possible to use other methods to create a mummy guardian from an already-deceased body, those who seek to create these foul undead as their guardians in the afterlife often feel that such methods result in inferior undead—the pain and agony of death by mummification being an essential step in the process. - - - - - Regardless of the method of their creation, mummy guardians are more than just physical shells of flesh and bone—they retain fragmented, distorted versions of their minds, with only enough memories of their living personality remaining to fuel their undead anger and jealousy of those who yet live.

Rusalkas are the primary source for the legends of fey preying upon sailors, and nereids loathe them for that, as they prefer to live apart from humanity and enjoy the beauty of the natural world in peace. - - - - - When a nereid learns of a rusalka's increased activity, it often seeks out the rusalka to route them—not so much out of an urge to protect humanoids (in whom nereids traditionally have little interest), but to prevent the rusalka from inadvertently riling up violent responses from humanoids who can't be bothered to note the difference between a murderous fey and one who just wants to be left alone. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fey__ (__Nature__)**: DC 27 - level: 10 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CN - size: Medium - traits: - - CN - - Medium - - Aquatic - - Fey - - Water - senses: - - Perception +20 - - low-light vision - languages: - - Aquan - - Common - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 12 - misc: +18 to Swim - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - perception: 20 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 0 - dex_mod: 7 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 3 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 7 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 30 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 16 - fort_misc: - ref: 22 - ref_misc: - will: 18 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 175 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - poison - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: cold iron - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Watery Transparency - action_cost: None - traits: - - primal - - transmutation - - water - description: When underwater, the nereid's body is __invisible__.

Niliths draw intense joy from tormenting sapient creatures, often focusing their predations on the pious and the just, from whom they draw forth their most basic fears and worst thoughts and revel in their victims' subsequent terror. More often than not, these despicable manipulators wish to drive their victims into madness and even to suicide.

Nixies tend to be reclusive and try to keep their presence hidden from humanoids, hoping trespassers won't give them cause to act. Stories of minor miracles granted by nixies to those they befriend encourage humanoids to seek out these reclusive fey, and ironically make it even more unlikely for a nixie to grant such a boon. On the other hand, if someone approaches a nixie with respect, or even better, a positive attitude that displays just the right amount of humility and easygoing openness, a nixie is far more likely to respond positively to any requests for aid. Often a nixie will ask those who seek their assistance to perform a task for them first; such requests can be minor acts of entertainment (such as telling a rousing story or performing a requested song), but in other cases the nixie might need more significant aid, such as driving off an unwanted local predator or investigating the source of pollution near their home. - - - - - Nixies resort to violence only if no other tactic works. They much prefer solutions that rely upon primal magic to defuse conflicts before they can escalate to bloodshed. In pursuit of such resolutions, nixies rely on their ability to charm individuals and, when they can establish magical influence, encourage intruders to leave peacefully. While some nixies try to confuse intruders and subtly guide them from the area, others use local animals and beasts to scare off trespassers. Occasionally, nixies recruit charmed humanoids to act as protectors or help with a task that is simply too big for them to deal with. If this task is underwater, nixies use their magic to temporarily grant the ability to breathe water to the charmed creature. Only those who manage to befriend a nixie are given invitations to return to swim or dine with the fey, and only the most trusted of allies are granted a minor wish. - - - - - Nixies appear as aquatic humanoids the size of a child, with large eyes, catfish-like whiskers, and webbed fingers and toes. They have scaly skin, pointed ears, and long hair the color of seaweed. Nixies often form small communities, even building underwater societies if their numbers are great enough. In many cultures' folklore, there are stories of nixie nations hidden at the bottom of particularly large lakes. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fey__ (__Nature__)**: DC 15 - level: 1 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Small - traits: - - N - - Small - - Aquatic - - Fey - senses: - - Perception +6 - - low-light vision - languages: - - Aquan - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 5 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - perception: 6 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 0 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 1 - int_mod: 0 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: 4 - sense_abilities: - - name: Wild Empathy - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The nixie can use __Diplomacy__ to __Make an Impression__ on and make very simple Requests of __aquatic__ or __amphibious__ animals. - raw_description: '**Wild Empathy** The nixie can use __Diplomacy__ to __Make an Impression__ on and make very simple Requests of __aquatic__ or __amphibious__ animals.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 16 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 6 - fort_misc: - ref: 10 - ref_misc: - will: 6 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 25 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - weaknesses: - - amount: 3 - type: cold iron - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 20 - type: Land - - amount: 30 - type: swim - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: claw - to_hit: 7 - traits: - - agile - - finesse - damage: - formula: 1d6 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - - name: Primal Innate Spells - dc: 17 - to_hit: 9 - misc: '' - spell_groups: - - level: 2 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: water breathing - frequency: - requirement: - - level: 1 - heightened_level: - spells: - - name: charm - frequency: ×3 - requirement: - - name: hydraulic push - frequency: - requirement: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Grant Desire - action_cost: Three Actions - traits: - - divination - - primal - description: - raw_description: "**Grant Desire** [Three Actions] (__divination__, __primal__) **Frequency** once per day; **Effect** The nixie can duplicate any 1st-level spell or produce any effect with a power level in line with a 1st-level spell, but only in response to the request or desire of a non-fey creature.

They watch over all life, intervening with reluctance when called upon—or with a vengeance when the strands of fate are twisted and abused by lesser beings. - - - - - Norns' relationship with the Eldest of the First World is complex. Many among norns serve __Magdh__ the Three, the triune Eldest who some norns believe to be the first norn triumvirate bound together into one entity, as Magdh has three bodies: a Maiden, a Mother, and a Matriarch. Magdh claims to be watching the threads of fate for some ominous prophesied cataclysm, and in addition to assisting in her divinations, Magdh expects the norns who serve her to follow her cryptic commands to help nudge the future away from the brink. However, norns are powerful beings in their own right, themselves capable of granting divine power, and many balk at serving the enigmatic demigod. These norns find the other Eldest even more alien and challenging to interact with, for they believe that while the Eldest wield great power, even these powerful beings should not be granted leave to meddle with fate as much as they desire. - - - - - While even the weakest of the Eldest could destroy an unaffiliated norn with ease, they tend to obey the proclamations and judgments of norns when they are spoken. These norns, for their part, use their perceived neutrality judiciously. They know better than to issue too many demands to the Eldest, lest the capricious demigods grow frustrated and tired of norns' interference. And so the balance of power remains tenuous between unaffiliated norns and the Eldest, as it has for eons. However, norns know that it's merely a matter of time before the Eldest lose their respect for this tradition and start acting entirely as they please, despite norns' best efforts to rein in their most disruptive actions. - - - - - A norn stands 14 feet tall and weighs 800 pounds. - - - - - - - ## Worshipping Norns - - On the Material Plane, some mortals worship norns as deities, while others, especially witches and bards, admire them as patrons or muses. Those who uphold norns as deities are known as __Followers of Fate__. Norns do little to discourage this veneration, but neither do they go out of their way to support such worship. Clerics who venerate norns might worship a specific norn or norn triumvirate, or all norns as a whole, but they gain the same benefits regardless of their choice. The religious symbol of Followers of Fate is a pair of shears cutting a golden thread, and their areas of concern are destiny, fate, and the aging process. - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fey__ (__Nature__)**: DC 45 - level: 20 - rarity: Rare - type: Creature - alignment: LN - size: Large - traits: - - Rare - - LN - - Large - - Fey - senses: - - Perception +41 - - detect magic - - greater darkvision - - lifesense 120 feet - - true seeing - languages: - - Common - - Jotun - - Sylvan - - tongues - skills: - - name: 'Crafting ' - bonus: 36 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 35 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 37 - misc: - - name: ' ' - bonus: 28 - misc: all - - name: 'Medicine ' - bonus: 38 - misc: - - name: 'Occultism ' - bonus: 34 - misc: - - name: 'Performance ' - bonus: 31 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 34 - misc: - perception: 41 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 6 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: 6 - wis_mod: 10 - cha_mod: 7 - sense_abilities: - - name: Sense Fate - action_cost: None - traits: - - fortune - description: A norn automatically rolls a 20 when she rolls initiative. - raw_description: '**Sense Fate** (__fortune__) A norn automatically rolls a 20 when she rolls initiative.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Triumvirate - action_cost: None - traits: - description: 'This functions as the __coven__ ability, except only norns can join a triumvirate, and it functions only as long as exactly three norns are part of the triumvirate.

Indeed, they spend long hours preparing ambushes for unwary travelers or plotting the murders of sleeping villagers. Though less technically inclined than their kin, nuglubs do enjoy building traps. They delight in stealthily constructing traps in places their victims consider familiar, such as front doors and the floors around beds. If someone else gets blamed for the mayhem the nuglub creates, all the better. - - - - - In combat, nuglubs focus on targets wearing metal armor. Some attribute this to envy on the part of the nuglubs, who find it difficult to fit armor on their twisted bodies. Nuglubs are particularly talented at causing those nearby to stumble over them and fall prone. Once an enemy falls to the ground, all the nuglubs descend upon the target, biting and scratching until nothing remains. - - - - - Nuglubs rarely gather in groups larger than half a dozen, as quarrels often lead to violence and cannibalism.

Unfortunately for those who desire a saddle-trained pegasus, pegasi are wild creatures and do not readily accept even well-intentioned riders. Pegasi actively resist being mounted or controlled by evil creatures, attempting to buck an unwanted rider at every opportunity. A typical pegasus stands 6 feet high at the shoulder, weighs 1,500 pounds, and has a wingspan of 20 feet. - - - - - Pegasi are highly intelligent beasts and have a strong sense of pride and honor. The best way to entreat a pegasus is by speaking to it with grace and offering gifts appropriate to a creature of such majesty. Prospective riders who seek the mount for a worthy cause or virtuous quest have a much easier time coaxing a pegasus into granting its favor. Regardless, a pegasus never accepts a bit or saddle, for reasons both practical (a standard horse saddle interferes with its wings) and purely egotistical. - - - - - In the wild, pegasi live in small herds and establish territories on remote mountains where they are relatively safe from hunters and slavers. They mature at the same rate as horses and can even breed with other equines, though the outcome of such unions is typically a foal with the traits of its least magical parent. On rare occasions, the interbreeding of a pegasus and a unicorn may result in a winged unicorn with characteristics of both parents and an unrivaled sense of righteousness. - - - - - Some pegasi carry in them the blood of a mighty and heroic ancestor. These champions of pegasus-kind dedicate their long lives to the pursuit of justice.

Peludas will try anything to become stronger, including ingesting shiny coins, gems, and jewelry, which old folk tales claim will strengthen their quills and fire breath. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 27 - level: 10 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Large - traits: - - LE - - Large - - Dragon - - Fire - senses: - - Perception +21 - - darkvision - languages: - - Draconic - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - perception: 21 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: -2 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 30 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 21 - fort_misc: - ref: 17 - ref_misc: - will: 19 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 170 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - fire - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Vulnerable Tail - action_cost: None - traits: - description: If the peluda takes 30 or more slashing damage from a critical hit, the attacker severs the peluda's tail.

These feelings extend to other perytons as well, and adult males attack each other on sight as surely as they attack anything else. - - - - - Once per year, perytons mate. The males offer up hearts they have collected from humanoids to attract females. Those that manage to secure a mate rarely survive long though, as their mating ritual is short and violent. Female perytons generally abandon their eggs after laying them, so newly hatched perytons must fend for themselves from the moment they emerge. - - - - - A lone peryton typically builds a nest in a rocky overhang or an exceptionally tall and strong tree where they can observe nearby lands. Although they aren't particularly interested in wealth, perytons do like to collect small objects from their victims. During those times between hunts, they sometimes study these trophies in order to relive the memories of victims' last moments and the taste of victims' hearts. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 19 - level: 4 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Medium - traits: - - CE - - Medium - - Beast - senses: - - Perception +13 - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - perception: 13 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 0 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 21 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 8 - fort_misc: - ref: 11 - ref_misc: - will: 13 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 60 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - - amount: 50 - type: fly - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: antler - to_hit: 14 - traits: - - deadly d8 - damage: - formula: 1d12+7 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: fangs - to_hit: 14 - traits: - - agile - damage: - formula: 1d8+7 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Heart Ripper - action_cost: One Action - traits: - - attack - - emotion - - fear - - visual - description: The peryton rips out the heart of an adjacent corpse with their jaws.

Once they have been judged, their soul is sent on to their final reward or punishment in the afterlife, and in the process is transformed into a creature known as a petitioner. This process grants the soul a new body, one whose shape is the result of the prevailing philosophical forces of the plane to which it is sent. The petitioner's memories from their life are typically wiped nearly clean, allowing them to retain only a few hazy fragments akin to half-remembered dreams. Regardless of the petitioner's size, power, or nature in life, they're a Medium creature in their afterlife. - - - - - Existence as a petitioner can last for eons, but this state is not necessarily eternal. Deities, powerful denizens of the Great Beyond, or even the outer planes themselves can further change the petitioner's nature by transforming them into raw quintessence, spiritual essence that is then used to expand a plane's physical manifestation, or by transforming the petitioner into a new form of supernatural life such as a __celestial__, __monitor__, or __fiend__. Should a petitioner die, their body breaks down in a process akin to decay, their nature reverting back to the quintessence or elements that make up their plane. This represents the true end of a soul's journey: their associated life essence travels back to the heart of the Great Beyond to be recycled into the __Positive Energy plane__, fueling the creation of entirely new souls. - level: 1 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: Any - size: Medium - traits: - - Any - - Medium - - Petitioner - senses: - - Perception +7 - - darkvision - languages: - - see Planar Incarnation - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Planar Lore ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - perception: 7 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 2 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 15 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 7 - fort_misc: - ref: 7 - ref_misc: - will: 7 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 22 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - melee: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Planar Incarnation - action_cost: One Action - traits: - description: "All petitioners are formed from and personify the nature of the plane on which they manifest, and their statistics are adjusted as summarized below.

Cunning, powerful, and ruthless, pit fiends often serve the archdevils directly. They rule infernal duchies, subjugate mortal worlds, and usurp infernal rivals using unparalleled despotism and calculated ferocity. To realize their tyrannical machinations, pit fiends claim mortal souls that they corrupt into lemure servants, which can then be shaped and transformed through infernal manipulation into the terrifying devils that form Hell's formidable legions. They often select the most wicked and vicious lemures for their armies, drawing upon these lesser devils' depravity during powerful magical ceremonies to create hideous and terrifying abominations that can cow and eviscerate the pit fiend's enemies.\n\n\n\nPit fiends themselves are crafted deep within the nightmarish bowels of Nessus, the ninth layer of Hell, to serve the whims of archdevils and infernal dukes. Those pit fiends that don't leave Nessus to command infernal legions in the upper layers of Hell often form the courts of Hell's elite, gathering cabals and sects that shape Hell's political landscape through subterfuge and manipulation. But many pit fiends see themselves as living embodiments of hellfire, the all-encompassing wrath of Hell, and thus prefer to dwell in realms consumed by fire. In Avernus, Dis, Malebolge, Nessus, and Phlegethon, pit fiends build vast citadels of brimstone wreathed in flame to lord over.\n\n\n\nPit fiends tower over other devils, standing at least 16 feet tall, weighing over 1,000 pounds, and brandishing wingspans in excess of 20 feet. \n\n## Infernal Dukes\n\n Elite members of Hell's political infrastructure and leadership hierarchy, the dukes of Hell are chosen from among the most tyrannical, oppressive, and conniving devils. While not all infernal dukes are pit fiends, a pit fiend's natural disposition toward conquest and oppression often make it an ideal candidate for this position. To create an infernal duke, adjust the pit fiend to be between 21st and 25th level. Because of their physical prowess, manipulative nature, and powerful spellcasting abilities, infernal dukes make excellent villains for long-running campaigns.\n\n\n\n**__Recall Knowledge - Fiend__ (__Religion__)**: DC 40" - level: 20 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Large - traits: - - LE - - Large - - Devil - - Fiend - senses: - - Perception +37 - - greater darkvision - - true seeing - languages: - - Celestial - - Common - - Draconic - - Infernal - - telepathy 100 feet - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 34 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 32 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 33 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 39 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 34 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 39 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 37 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 36 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 34 - misc: - perception: 37 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 9 - dex_mod: 8 - con_mod: 9 - int_mod: 8 - wis_mod: 9 - cha_mod: 8 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 46 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 37 - fort_misc: - ref: 32 - ref_misc: - will: 35 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 335 - hp_misc: regeneration 30 (deactivated by good) - immunities: - - fire - resistances: - - amount: 15 - type: physical (except silver) - - amount: 15 - type: poison - weaknesses: - - amount: 15 - type: good - automatic_abilities: - - name: Commander's Aura - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - divine - - enchantment - description: 100 feet.

In their natural form, these graceful eight-legged creatures sport a gray tabby coat of fur streaked with lines of olive green, but they are rarely seen this way. Even the youngest porachas are capable of hiding within objects, making them incredibly elusive and rarely seen except on their own terms. Because porachas can so effortlessly blend in with the forest and emerge from its dark corners in an instant, superstitious locals believe these beasts are related to kami—nature spirits who embody individual trees, stones, or other elements of nature in the Forest of Spirits. The truth is that while porachas frequently associate with kami, they are their own breed of mysterious monster with powers over time and space that set them apart from nature spirits. - - - - - The poracha's most iconic feature is its ability to bend reality to teleport, or jaunt, short distances. But a poracha can also rest within objects, allowing it to safely sleep inside. Given that a poracha experiences time very slowly while hiding within objects, it can sleep inside of one for an extended period. Once it wakes, a poracha departs to play in the living world. Porachas especially enjoy resting inside roadside milestones, to maximize their chances of coming across travelers. - - - - - Porachas rarely tread humanoid-occupied lands, preferring the company of the kami and their natural habitat in the Forest of Spirits. Though they enjoy occasional conversation, they're extremely sensitive to sound; they speak softly and request the same from those they speak with. Their territories span vast swaths of the wood, making them ideal allies for hunters or treasure seekers who would otherwise become lost in the dense trees. But porachas are nothing if not flckle, and typically demand inscrutable favors in return for their aid, such as the planting of a rare sapling in a particular grotto or the clearing of an invasive monster species around a treasured spring. Any attempt to coerce or trick a poracha into service is ill advised, for these sacred beasts have many friends among the kami as well as others of their kind. Though they generally don't travel in groups, porachas know where to find more of their kind in times of need, and an organized pack of porachas is a disorienting threat. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 21 - level: 4 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - Uncommon - - N - - Medium - - Beast - senses: - - Perception +10 - - tremorsense (imprecise) 10 feet - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 10 - misc: - perception: 10 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 3 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: 0 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 23 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 9 - fort_misc: - ref: 13 - ref_misc: - will: 10 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 50 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - weaknesses: - - amount: 5 - type: sonic - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 40 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws - to_hit: 13 - traits: - - finesse - - magical - damage: - formula: 2d6+7 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: claw - to_hit: 13 - traits: - - agile - - finesse - - magical - damage: - formula: 2d4+7 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Jaunt - action_cost: One Action - traits: - - conjuration - - move - - primal - - teleportation - description: The poracha teleports up to 40 feet.

This monstrosity not only delights in the negative emotions of its prey, but feeds on them, gaining strength and sustenance from their dismay. For the quelaunt, no act is too terrible or cruel to inflict on its victims, since the more a creature suffers, the more the quelaunt feasts. - - - - - Quelaunts are known to associate with other aberrant horrors, including brain collectors and other creatures associated with the Dominion of the Black. However, the more prevalent theory paints them as more alien—perhaps invasive beings from another dimension of pure thought and feeling—and claims that in their natural state they have no physical bodies at all. Few dare speculate further; the only known autopsy of a quelaunt resulted in the researcher's suicide just days afterward and all the notes were mysteriously destroyed.

Their bodies consist of an oval abdomen, eight hollow tentacles, and a thick, tail-like limb ending in a ventral tube, which resembles a lamprey's mouth and is capable of intaking fluids at an astounding rate. While quoppopaks can clumsily maneuver on land, they prefer to move on water; quoppopaks glide along the surface of lakes or the ocean by thrusting their ventral tubes into the water, cycling liquid up through their bodies, then spraying the water back out in a high-pressure stream through their hollow, spear-like tentacles. Though the ventral tube can't expel fluids, it still poses a substantial threat to other creatures. Quoppopaks have gills, but they are located inside the creatures' abdomens, allowing them to draw their air from the water they siphon through their ventral tubes. Quoppopaks can hold some water in their abdomens for quick forays on land, but this is akin to humans holding their breath to go underwater, and the monsters' water reserves quickly deplete. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 28 - level: 11 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Large - traits: - - NE - - Large - - Aberration - - Aquatic - senses: - - Perception +22 - - low-light vision - languages: - - Aquan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - perception: 22 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 6 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: -2 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 31 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 22 - fort_misc: - ref: 23 - ref_misc: - will: 18 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 195 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Attack of Opportunity - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: Tentacle only. - raw_description: "**Attack of Opportunity** [Reaction] **Trigger** A creature within your reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. **Effect** You lash out at a foe that leaves an opening.

While they are most famous for appearing as wizened, bearded men, redcap women are no less fearsome or cruel. Redcaps are ultimately craven bullies, cowed by anything more powerful than themselves, a trait that leads them to fear and despise the symbols of good deities. Many fairy tales explain how the redcaps draw power from dipping the hats for which they are named in fresh blood. Just as iconic to these cruel little fey are their iron-clad boots, and the clanging sound of their metal soles clanking on stone floors is both discordant and disconcerting— especially to those who recognize the sound for what it is. Redcaps typically stand only 3 feet tall, with hunched frames, pointed ears, crooked teeth, and long, white, tangled hair. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fey__ (__Nature__)**: DC 20 - level: 5 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Small - traits: - - CE - - Small - - Fey - senses: - - Perception +12 - - low-light vision - languages: - - Common - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 10 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - perception: 12 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: 2 - sense_abilities: - - name: Red Cap - action_cost: None - traits: - - necromancy - - primal - description: >+ - A redcap's woolen hat is dyed with the blood of its victims.

As one might expect from its name, a reefclaw's oversized claws are powerful weapons with their vicelike grip and the ability to inject potent venom into unfortunate prey. - - - - - While reefclaws can't speak, they are intelligent enough to understand the local language of humanoids near their hunting grounds. The creatures sometimes listen to conversations, either to gain intelligence on the best place to ambush aquatic or land-dwelling prey, or merely for entertainment value—reefclaws are particularly fond of listening to people with high-pitched voices. Reefclaws are usually solitary hunters, but small swarms of female reefclaws have been known to gather around a single male for mating purposes or together for the communal raising of their broods. In the latter case, the females will perform widespread hunts in order to bring back a large enough bounty to feed their young. Such hunting parties are extremely dangerous—they've been known to tip over small flshing boats and attack those who fall overboard. - - - - - Once a reefclaw has decided upon a course of action, it follows through even if doing so spells its own end. More than one reefclaw survivor has said that the creature released its bone-crushing grasp only after its brains were leaking from its broken skull, and even then the reefclaw was able to perform a terrible last slash as part of its dying breath. During mating season, female reefclaws are often a little more pragmatic and release their prey before endangering themselves and their offspring. - - - - - Despite their intelligence and the accompanying moral quandaries, reefclaws frequently find their way onto the dinner plates of land-dwelling hunters such as humans and hobgoblins. According to those who have a taste for reefclaw flesh, the meat is either delectably sweet (for reefclaws raised in colder waters) or slightly tangy (in the case of warm-water reefclaws). Most civilized people who know of reefclaws' intellect find the act of eating them distasteful, but this does not dissuade unscrupulous nobles in coastal regions, for whom reefclaw meat is a delicacy well worth the expense. Likewise, fisherfolk whose focus is on the bottom line of their ledgers are more than willing to hunt the dangerous creatures—or, even better, hire out the task to naive adventurers. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 15 - level: 1 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CN - size: Small - traits: - - CN - - Small - - Aberration - - Aquatic - senses: - - Perception +8 - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - - (can't speak any language) - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 4 - misc: +8 to Swim - perception: 8 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 1 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: -3 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: 1 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 20 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 7 - fort_misc: - ref: 9 - ref_misc: - will: 4 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 17 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Death Frenzy - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: '**Death Frenzy** [Reaction] **Trigger** The reefclaw is reduced to 0 Hit Points. **Effect** The reefclaw makes a claw Strike before dying.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: The reefclaw is reduced to 0 Hit Points. - effect: The reefclaw makes a claw Strike before dying. - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - speed: - - amount: 5 - type: Land - - amount: 30 - type: swim - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: claw - to_hit: 9 - traits: - - finesse - damage: - formula: 1d6+1 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: reefclaw venom and Grab - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Constrict - action_cost: One Action - traits: - description: 1d6 bludgeoning, DC 17 - raw_description: '**__Constrict__** 1d6 bludgeoning, DC 17' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Reefclaw Venom - action_cost: None - traits: - - poison - description: '**Saving Throw** DC 17 Fortitude; **Maximum Duration** 4 rounds; **Stage 1** 1d6 poison damage and __enfeebled 1__ (1 round), **Stage 2** 1d6 poison damage and __enfeebled 2__ (1 round).' - raw_description: '**Reefclaw Venom** (__poison__) **Saving Throw** DC 17 Fortitude; **Maximum Duration** 4 rounds; **Stage 1** 1d6 poison damage and __enfeebled 1__ (1 round), **Stage 2** 1d6 poison damage and __enfeebled 2__ (1 round).' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: -- name: Remnant of Barzillai - source: - - abbr: 'Pathfinder #147: Tomorrow Must Burn' - page_start: 80 - page_stop: - description: >- - Though the Silver Ravens defeated the evil tyrant Barzillai Thrune before he could fully realize his goal of becoming a genius loci, remnants of his spirit remain throughout the Ravounel region. On occasion, these scraps of sentience form a vague, Barzillai-shaped body from bits of the nearby terrain, but when near haunted locations, the spectral force can coalesce into a more precise body using ectoplasm siphoned from these haunts. In either form, the remnant carries a form of Barzillai's own burning mace, which dissolves into a thin mist 1 hour after the remnant is destroyed. - - - - - Remnants of Barzillai can manifest anywhere throughout Ravounel, and even after one remnant is defeated, another might arise later on. The undead inquisitor can be put to rest permanently only by retrieving his mace before it disappears, then burying it in a location consecrated by good clerics, where it must remain for at least a year undisturbed. - - - - - While a remnant of Barzillai can draw power from any haunt it is associated with, remnants tend to do so with specific haunts. The haunts presented on pages 27-28 are commonly associated with remnants of Barzillai. These are far from the only haunts Barzillai can create, however; the Silver Ravens' records mention many phenomena associated with the undead being, some of which deal with themes of various birds, the scents of mint and tea, and ghostly figures in heavy armor. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Undead__ (__Religion__)**: DC 32 - level: 10 - rarity: Rare - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Medium - traits: - - Rare - - LE - - Medium - - Incorporeal - - Undead - senses: - - Perception +22 - - darkvision - languages: - - Aklo - - Azlanti - - Common - - Draconic - - Elven - - Gnomish - - Halfling - - Infernal - - Jotun - - Shadowtongue - - Strix - - Varisian - skills: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - - name: 'Torture Lore ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - perception: 22 - ability_mods: - str_mod: -5 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 0 - int_mod: 3 - wis_mod: 7 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 29 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 14 - fort_misc: - ref: 21 - ref_misc: - will: 23 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 135 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - death effects - - disease - - paralyzed - - poison - - precision - - unconscious - resistances: - - amount: 8 - type: all damage (except force - - amount: - type: ghost touch - - amount: - type: or positive - - amount: - type: double resistance vs. non-magical) - - amount: - type: haunted form - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Haunted Form - action_cost: None - traits: - - divine - - necromancy - description: The remnant of Barzillai draws on the power of haunts, reinforcing his form when they are nearby.

This monster has chitinous plates and more than a score segmented legs, a multipartite maw, and winglike growths fianking its head. The most unusual aspect of the creature, however, is its internal heat, which burns with such intensity that it causes the armored plates on the creature's back to become superheated whenever the beast is agitated. - - - - - Remorhazes are carnivores. Their diet includes arctic animals such as elk, but a hungry remorhaz readily devours anything it can catch and kill. It commonly lurks beneath ice or snow and ambushes prey with a sudden upward strike. Many victims die before even knowing what attacked them. - - - - - Those who survive the worm's initial onslaught must face not only its deadly jaws, but also its hideously hot body. This heat can melt weapons, scorch armor, and burn flesh—all tactics the remorhaz uses to disable and defeat its foes. A remorhaz's internal fire allows it to burrow through ice and snow with ease. It leaves smooth tunnels in its wake as melted ice refreezes to leave the telltale signs of its passage. Most people underestimate a remorhaz's intelligence, assuming it to be a mere animal. However, remorhazes are capable of learning languages. Frost giants in particular use this trait to form alliances with them. The giants provide food, protection, and shelter for the worm, and in return the remorhaz acts as a guard beast and helps the giants build fortresses and forge metal weapons. The giants also employ the worms as war beasts, using them to undermine enemy positions. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 25 - level: 7 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Huge - traits: - - Uncommon - - N - - Huge - - Beast - senses: - - Perception +14 - - darkvision - - tremorsense (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Jotun - - (can't speak any language) - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - perception: 14 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: -3 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: -2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 25 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 18 - fort_misc: - ref: 15 - ref_misc: - will: 10 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 120 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - cold - - fire - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Heat - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - evocation - - fire - - primal - description: 5 feet.

In other cases, revenants might even rise from what might legitimately be considered an accident if the revenant doesn't understand the full circumstances of their demise.

While their beaks are hooked to rip flesh from bone, their hunting strategy involves grabbing their prey in their powerful talons and then dropping it from great heights before feeding. This method creates a massive amount of carrion, which guarantees that rocs are followed by flocks of opportunistic scavengers, such as ravens and buzzards, who find it easy to steal bits of the larger birds' meals. Rocs, for the most part, don't mind these creatures, which sometimes get gobbled up along with the rest of the roc's food. - - - - - Rocs usually nest among mountaintops and cliffs inaccessible to all but the bravest of terrestrial dwellers. They are long-range predators that hunt both land and sea in search for massive prey to sustain them and their young. Rocs are antisocial and lone hunters who compete with each other in fierce aerial battles to protect territory. But about once a decade, a mating couple pairs up to raise their chicks. Once the chicks are old enough to hunt on their own, the parents separate to once again engage in lone hunting. - - - - - Particularly skilled druids or rangers might capture and train a roc to serve as a flying mount or hunting companion, though examples of such an incredible feat of domestication are few and far between. The easiest way to rear a roc is to do so from the moment it hatches, since the chick imprints on the first creature it sees. Acquiring a roc egg is by no means an easy feat, though, and is often a death sentence for the would-be egg-snatcher. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 26 - level: 9 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Gargantuan - traits: - - N - - Gargantuan - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +18 - - low-light vision - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - perception: 18 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 8 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 27 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 20 - fort_misc: - ref: 17 - ref_misc: - will: 16 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 180 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Wing Rebuff - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: "**Wing Rebuff** [Reaction] **Trigger** A creature moves from beyond the reach of the roc's wing to within the reach of the roc's wing. **Effect** The roc makes a wing Strike against the triggering creature.

Quick-thinking spelunkers can sometimes stave off a roper's appetite by entertaining it with stories or discussions of philosophy, but ropers do not willingly allow such intriguing prey to escape alive. Stories speak of particularly skilled debaters and philosophers who have been kept for days or even years as pets or conversational companions by roper clusters, but in the end, if such pets don't eventually escape, the ropers' appetites win out over their intellectual curiosity—especially in cases where the pets constantly outmaneuver their keepers' wits and patience.

Few fiends travel the waterways of the multiverse, but where a river crosses the planes, odds are sarglagons have traveled it to further their infernal machinations. The only body of water they avoid is the River Styx, as the fiends have yet to develop any defense against that waterway's memory-sapping qualities. Mortal spellcasters sometimes bind sarglagons as guardians of precious secrets or treasures, particularly in aquatic areas. Most strangely, sarglagons sometimes act as unnerving caretakers to mortals who have no idea what they did to earn their unwanted protectors' attention.

Notorious for their hedonism, these fey believe there's no greater beauty than can be found in song, drink, indulgent meals, and carnal pleasures. Satyrs use their enchanting songs and natural charm to encourage all manner of people to follow their true desires and free themselves from society's rules. This usually involves enticing mortals to join raucous parties or engage in trysts in moonlit glades. If a potential companion rejects a satyr's advances, however, the satyr has little interest in continuing a conversation and goes off to find more amenable revelers. - - - - - The lifestyle of a satyr leaves no room for ongoing affairs or long-term friends. Once his party is over or his lust is satiated, the satyr disappears back into the forest. The offspring satyrs leave behind are satyrs themselves, and usually end up being taken from their cradles by other fey rather than being left in mortals' care. Satyrs are always male. - - - - - The untouched beauty of the forest is sacred and precious to a satyr. Brutish intruders who clear-cut trees or massacre animals without eating them risk drawing a satyr's ire. A satyr so provoked uses his spells to undermine foes and attempts to dispatch them either with brutal ambushes or by leading a rush of forest animals to attack. - - - - - Other fey, particularly good fey, look upon satyrs as loutish, embarrassing cousins. They're rarely hostile toward satyrs, but most find them insufferable and advise any mortals they like to steer clear of satyrs' glades. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fey__ (__Nature__)**: DC 19 - level: 4 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CN - size: Medium - traits: - - CN - - Medium - - Fey - senses: - - Perception +10 - - low-light vision - languages: - - Common - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Performance ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - perception: 10 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 3 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 1 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - - name: Sylvan Wine - action_cost: None - traits: - - enchantment - - mental - - primal - description: >+ - A satyr's wineskin magically enchants any alcohol inside.

Each scarecrow is handcrafted and unique in its appearance, though most are 5 to 6 feet tall and constructed of a combination of wood, cloth, rope, straw, sawdust, discarded husks and cobs, and similar materials, all dressed in ragged pastoral garments. This rudimentary construction makes a scarecrow somewhat fragile, prone to snapping limbs in the crush of battle. Yet its structure is adaptable, allowing it to reshape another piece of itself into a clawed limb or grip a severed portion of itself to swat at its foes. - - - - - When a scarecrow is created, it must be anointed with a drop of its creator's blood into each of its eyes. This blood soaks into the material and siphons a tiny sliver of the creator's soul away—not enough to harm the creator, but more than enough to imbue the scarecrow with an instinctive intellect that allows it to follow commands as eagerly as a well-trained (if ill-tempered) guard dog. When a scarecrow is destroyed, the blood leaks back out from its eyes, but the portion of the creator's soul never returns. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Construct__ (__Arcana__, __Crafting__)**: DC 19 - level: 4 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - N - - Medium - - Construct - senses: - - Perception +11 - - darkvision - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 12 - misc: - perception: 11 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: -2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 19 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 13 - fort_misc: - ref: 8 - ref_misc: - will: 11 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 60 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - bleed - - death effects - - disease - - doomed - - drained - - fatigued - - healing - - mental - - necromancy - - nonlethal attacks - - paralyzed - - poison - - sickened - - unconscious - resistances: - - amount: 5 - type: physical (except slashing) - weaknesses: - - amount: 5 - type: fire - automatic_abilities: - - name: Scarecrow's Leer - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - - occult - - visual - description: "40 feet.

Over time, these blood-nourished fragments might grow into a new scythe tree, but the progenitor will most likely have already moved on to new hunting grounds long before the new scythe tree reaches maturity. - - - - - Scythe trees appear as dead or dying deciduous trees with long, twisted branches that end in scythe-like blades. These carnivorous plants have dark-brown bark that is nearly black near the bottom of the trunk and rusty brown leaves that remain attached year-round. Scythe trees' disturbing mouths remain closed when not eating, appearing as a jagged gash on the trunk. When scythe trees deign to speak, their voices are rough, deep, and mocking, particularly when discussing arboreals, whom scythe trees universally find to be insufferable and worthy of little more than being hacked to pieces. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Plant__ (__Nature__)**: DC 22 - level: 6 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Huge - traits: - - CE - - Huge - - Plant - senses: - - Perception +14 - - lifesense 30 feet - - low-light vision - languages: - - Aklo - - Arboreal - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 12 - misc: +14 in forests - perception: 14 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: 0 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 24 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 17 - fort_misc: - ref: 8 - ref_misc: - will: 9 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 105 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: 5 - type: bludgeoning - - amount: 5 - type: piercing - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Axe Vulnerability - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A scythe tree takes 5 additional damage from __axes__. - raw_description: '**Axe Vulnerability** A scythe tree takes 5 additional damage from __axes__.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Ripping Disarm - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: '**Ripping Disarm [Reaction]** **Trigger** A creature rolls a critical failure on a melee weapon Strike against the scythe tree; **Effect** The scythe tree attempts to __Disarm__ the creature.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: A creature rolls a critical failure on a melee weapon Strike against the scythe tree - effect: The scythe tree attempts to __Disarm__ the creature. - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - speed: - - amount: 15 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: scythe branch - to_hit: 18 - traits: - - backswing - - deadly d10 - - reach 15 feet - damage: - formula: 2d10+9 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Dead Tree - action_cost: One Action - traits: - - concentrate - description: Until the scythe tree acts, it appears to be a dead tree.

On the Shadow Plane, they live in familiar groups and uphold a nomadic way of life as they roam across ancestral lands between shadowy forests and misty chasms. These hunter-gatherers pass down lore through oral histories, conduct pilgrimages to unholy ziggurats of black stone, and bathe in the blood of their long-standing foes, including rival shadow giant clans and velstracs intent on enslaving their kind. On the Material Plane, conversely, they are secretive and isolationist, keeping apart from other peoples in forbidding structures of black stone in high, isolated mountain valleys. - - - - - Standing 15 feet tall, with gray skin and hair only a shade lighter, shadow giants are fearsome foes with a well-earned reputation as zealous warmongers and ruthless combatants. They rarely interact with outsiders, though they may treat with proven warriors who show the giants the respect and deference they feel they deserve. Only a small subset of shadow giants worship __Zon-Kuthon__, and most of these Kuthites are so firmly entrenched in the culture of Nidal that their Shadow Plane-dwelling kin would hardly recognize them.

Even when standing erect on their stumpy legs, shamblers don't have much in the way of identifiable anatomy; they are tangles of parasitic vines that lash out at prey with their longest creepers, entwined together to deliver powerful blows. Sometimes called "shambling mounds," these ambush predators have a particular fondness for flesh, and are most well known for their ability to hunker down and hide in plain sight. A shambler can draw nutrients from plant matter or soil, but won't do so if it suspects meat might soon wander near, and indeed may lie in wait for days in anticipation of such a meal. - - - - - Shamblers are usually solitary creatures. Fierce thunderstorms are among the few events that bring numerous shamblers together. During such gatherings, the plants gather around strange but seemingly sacred earthen mounds in remote jungles and swamps and cavort and caper excitedly, stretching their tendrils toward the sky to hope for—or perhaps to summon—intense lightning strikes. Not only are these strange plants unharmed by even the most powerful electrical strikes, but they seem to become supernaturally empowered by such bursts of raw energy. Shamblers consider being struck by lightning a sign of divine favor, and those shamblers frequently blasted by bolts of electricity become respected (and powerful) elders among their kind. Shambler elders are few and far between and may possess a wide array of abilities; some can cast primal spells, others can empathically call upon the aid of other shamblers in the area, and still others wield awesome powers over electricity. - - - - - Other types of shamblers exist, including those composed not of plant matter but fungal growth. These creatures, known as "spore mounds," discharge clouds of toxic spores from their bodies when struck in combat. In semiarid deserts, shambler-like plants called tanglethorns dwell amid sagebrush and rock formations; they resemble bunches of tumbleweeds and cacti and in ict deep, bloody lacerations with their attacks. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Plant__ (__Nature__)**: DC 22 - level: 6 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - N - - Large - - Plant - senses: - - Perception +12 - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - - Elven - - Sylvan - - (can't speak any language) - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 12 - misc: +18 in forests or swamps - perception: 12 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 1 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: -2 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: -1 - sense_abilities: - - name: Mound - action_cost: None - traits: - description: When it's not in danger, the shambler spends 1 minute settling into a pile that looks like a lump of loose vegetation.

With their abnormally gaunt frames, long white hair, and unnerving, four-fingered hands, shining children are both strangely familiar and otherworldly in appearance, though they are barely visible within the shroud of blinding light they continually emit. Their faces are truly horrible, however, as their overlarge eyes and distended, gaping mouths reveal their heads to be voids filled with unnatural light. Shining children use this light as a weapon, weaving illusions and focusing beams of fiery brilliance. - - - - - Because of their reputation as scholars of the alien and the eldritch, shining children are sometimes summoned by powerful wizards or occultists in search of rare knowledge. The creatures never give away their lore without some price, though, and typically demand in return the performance of contemptible deeds that further their inscrutable, far-ranging plans. - - - - - These mysterious beings are natives of the Astral Plane. In that vast plane, accretions of metaphysical matter gradually accumulate and eventually coalesce into demiplanes. During this tumultuous process, sparks of living light sometimes shear off the newly formed planes, and these sparks of raw planar energy somehow transform into shining children. Every newly formed demiplane leaves a different mental imprint on its shining "offspring," making it easy for shining children to telepathically recognize their brothers and sisters. Forever trapped in apparently adolescent bodies, shining children dedicate themselves to scholarship and violence with equal measure in a futile effort to understand their roles in the multiverse and the burning injustice of their births. - - - - - Shining children confuse most other creatures with their refusal to use individual names in favor of alternating between referring to each other singularly and collectively. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Astral__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 30 - level: 12 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Medium - traits: - - CE - - Medium - - Astral - senses: - - Perception +23 - - darkvision - languages: - - Aklo - - telepathy 120 feet - skills: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Occultism ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - perception: 23 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 2 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 7 - sense_abilities: - - name: Radiance Dependence - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The shining child is flat-footed while in areas of darkness. - raw_description: '**Radiance Dependence** The shining child is flat-footed while in areas of darkness.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 33 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 22 - fort_misc: - ref: 19 - ref_misc: - will: 19 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 215 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - blinded - - dazzled - - fire - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Blinding Aura - action_cost: None - traits: - - arcane - - aura - - incapacitation - - light - description: 60 feet.

Shulns grow to about 20 feet long and have four tiny, nearly imperceptible eyes; a long, pale snout; four thick-muscled legs that end in long, serrated claws; and a stubby pink tail. As a young shuln matures, its unique metabolism produces adamantine that becomes infused throughout its skeletal system. In addition to making their claws and fangs nearly unbreakable, this unique physiological trait makes shulns unparalleled burrowers and highly sought by monster hunters who hope to harvest the precious material from their corpses. - - - - - Shulns have a ravenous appetite and eat nearly anything they can catch, but their preferred diet consists almost entirely of large invertebrates, especially cave worms. They rely on tiny sensory whiskers that cover their snoutfland allow them to detect subtle movements in the air and ground without the use of vision. When it detects suitable prey, a shuln bites the target at the first opportunity, injecting it with a potent paralytic toxin present in its saliva. So strong is this poison that it is capable of subduing even the near-unstoppable purple worm, making the shuln a valuable (if dangerous) companion to have for anyone making excursions into worm-infested regions of the Darklands. Shulns' notoriously ill-tempered dispositions and their knack for digging into areas of an underground settlement where digging ought not occur makes them frustrating creatures to keep around, but when the alternative is an unpredictable but deadly visit from an enormous, hungry cave worm, the annoyances are well worth the trouble. - - - - - Encounters with much larger shuln-like entities on the Plane of Earth suggest that these creatures may have originated from that place. The larger shulns still retain their elemental qualities, are quite a bit smarter, and have their own suite of earth-themed innate primal spells—but for all that, they still love the taste of cave worm. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 35 - level: 12 - rarity: Rare - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Huge - traits: - - Rare - - N - - Huge - - Beast - senses: - - Perception +20 - - scent 30 feet - - tremorsense (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - perception: 20 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: -3 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 1 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 33 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 25 - fort_misc: - ref: 19 - ref_misc: - will: 21 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 195 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: physical (except adamantine or bludgeoning) - - amount: 15 - type: poison - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 40 - type: Land - - amount: 20 - type: burrow - - amount: - type: unstoppable burrow - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: adamantine claw - to_hit: 25 - traits: - - agile - - reach 15 feet - damage: - formula: 3d8+10 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: adamantine fangs - to_hit: 25 - traits: - - reach 15 feet - damage: - formula: 3d10+10 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: shuln saliva - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Armor-Rending - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Any time the shuln scores a critical hit with a melee Strike, it also deals the same amount of damage to the target's armor, bypassing any Hardness lower than 10, like __adamantine__. - raw_description: "**Armor-Rending** Any time the shuln scores a critical hit with a melee Strike, it also deals the same amount of damage to the target's armor, bypassing any Hardness lower than 10, like __adamantine__." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Shuln Saliva - action_cost: None - traits: - - incapacitation - - poison - description: '**Saving Throw** DC 32 Fortitude; **Maximum Duration** 6 rounds; **Stage 1** 2d6 poison damage and __slowed 1__ (1 round); **Stage 2** 3d6 poison damage, and __slowed 1__ (1 round); **Stage 3** 4d6 poison damage and __paralyzed__ for 2d6 hours.

The first sinspawn was created by the Runelord of Wrath, utilizing techniques that have since gone on to influence fleshwarping practices. It wasn't long before the technique used to create sinspawn fell into the hands of the other runelords, and while each tried their own hand at crafting variants of their own design, today sinspawn of wrath remain the most numerous and notorious of their kind. Bearing only a vague resemblance to the humanoids from whose flesh they were formed, sinspawn generally appear horrifically emaciated and have unnaturally long arms and digitigrade legs, each with a trio of stubby, taloned digits. Veins bulge across sinspawn's bodies in sanguine patterns that suspiciously resemble twisted runes, and their flesh is pale and hairless. Their heads are elongated, bearing only slits for a nose, red eyes, and disturbing lower jaws that split in half at the chin, revealing pedipalps that end in tiny, three-fingered hands and framing a long, lolling tongue. Sinspawn stand 6-1/2 feet tall and typically weigh as much as an emaciated human of their size. They behave in a manner consistent with their associated sin and have physical characteristics that hint at these qualities. For example, greedspawn's veins appear to run with gold while envyspawn appear even more wasted than the rest of their kin.\n\n## Sinspawn Sins\n\n When a sinspawn is created, it becomes associated with one of the seven sins: envoy, gluttony, greed, lust, pride, sloth, or wrath. A sinspawn's sin is determined by the runewell that spawned it or by its creator's preferred sin, and cannot be changed. Each sin grants sinspawn associated with it additional benefits and abilities beyond those described by the sinspawn stat block, as detailed below.\n\n## Envyspawn\n\n An envyspawn has Deception +7 and typically carries a halberd. They tend to be shorter and thinner than other sinspawn.\n\n**Melee** halberd +10 (__reach 10 feet__, __versatile S__), **Damage** 1d10+4 piercing\n\n**Sinful Bite** Creatures that critically fail their saves against an envyspawn's sinful bite are enfeebled 2 for 1 minute. \n\n## Gluttonyspawn\n\n A gluttonyspawn has Survival +10 and usually carries a scythe. They are obese, but hardy and strong.\n\n**Melee** scythe +10 (__deadly d10__, __trip__), **Damage** 1d10+4 slashing\n\n**Sinful Bite** Creatures that critically fail their saves against a gluttonyspawn's sinful bite are drained 1. \n\n## Greedspawn\n\n A greedspawn has Thievery +9 and typically wields a glaive. They are the tallest of sinspawn, often 7 feet in height, and with gold-tinged veins.\n\n**Melee** glaive +10 (__deadly d8__, __forceful__, __reach 10 feet__), **Damage** 1d8+4 slashing\n\n**Sinful Bite** Creatures that critically fail their saves against a greedspawn's sinful bite are clumsy 2 for 1 minute. \n\n## Lustspawn\n\n A lustspawn has Diplomacy +7 and usually carries a guisarme. They have attractive bodies, but hideous faces.\n\n**Melee** guisarme +10 (__reach 10 feet__, __trip__), **Damage** 1d10+4 slashing\n\n**Sinful Bite** Creatures that critically fail their saves against a lustspawn's sinful bite are stupefied 2 for 1 minute. \n\n## Pridespawn\n\n A pridespawn has Intimidation +7 and often wields a maul. They are nearly skeletal in their gauntness, and often seek out fine clothes or jewelry to wear, taking strange pleasure in appearing elegant and regal.\n\n**Melee** maul +10 (__shove__), **Damage** 1d12+4 bludgeoning\n\n**Sinful Bite** Creatures that critically fail their saves against a pridespawn's sinful bite are clumsy 1 and enfeebled 1 for 1 minute. \n\n## Slothspawn\n\n A slothspawn has Society +6 and usually carries a longspear. Thick rolls of excess skin drape the slothspawn's hunched frame.\n\n**Melee** longspear +10 (__reach 10 feet__), **Damage** 1d8+4 piercing\n\n**Sinful Bite** Creatures that critically fail their saves against a slothspawn's sinful bite take a -10-foot status penalty to their Speeds for 1 minute. \n\n## Wrathspawn\n\n The most commonly encountered of the sinspawn, a wrathspawn has Athletics +12 and typically wields a ranseur. These sinspawn are the bulkiest looking of their kind.\n\n**Melee** ranseur + 10 (__disarm__, __reach 10 feet__), **Damage** 1d10+4 piercing\n\n**Sinful Bite** Creatures that critically fail their saves against a wrathspawn's sinful bite are drained 1 as well as enfeebled 1 for 1 minute.\n\n\n\n**__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 16" - level: 2 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Medium - traits: - - NE - - Medium - - Aberration - senses: - - Perception +10 - - darkvision - - sin scent (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - - Aklo - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - perception: 10 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: 0 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 1 - sense_abilities: - - name: Sin Scent - action_cost: None - traits: - description: >+ - A sinspawn can smell creatures that reflect its sin, as the scent ability.

Their intelligence is more advanced than that of the typical giant bat, and in combat they function more as allies than as mere mounts, capable of making their own tactical decisions. Yet even though they can reason and think, skavelings remain loyal to the urdefhans who created them, and they never take actions in a fight that would knowingly put their masters in harm's way. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Undead__ (__Religion__)**: DC 20 - level: 5 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - N - - Large - - Undead - senses: - - Perception +15 - - darkvision - - echolocation 40 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - perception: 15 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 6 - cha_mod: 2 - sense_abilities: - - name: Echolocation - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A skaveling can use its hearing as a precise sense at the listed range - raw_description: '**Echolocation** A skaveling can use its hearing as a precise sense at the listed range' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 22 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 11 - fort_misc: - ref: 13 - ref_misc: - will: 15 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 80 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 15 - type: Land - - amount: 30 - type: fly - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: fangs - to_hit: 15 - traits: - damage: - formula: 2d8+8 - type: - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: ghoul fever and paralysis - - action_cost: One Action - name: wing - to_hit: 15 - traits: - - agile - damage: - formula: 2d4+8 - type: - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: paralysis - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Bone-Chilling Screech - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - - auditory - - emotion - - fear - - mental - - necromancy - - occult - description: "The skaveling unleashes a horrifying screech that chills the very bones of those close enough to feel it.

A fringe of brightly colored feathers circles their bodies, and long tendrils trail from their center, each ending in a snapping beak. Known for their eerie, chirping melodies, skrik nettles soar above the First World in flocks of a dozen or more, diligently scavenging for food in the fey realm's cutthroat ecosystem. When hunting or provoked, skrik nettles attack their foes by injecting them with a magical poison that causes the victim to float helplessly up into the sky. Skrik nettles continuously inject this poison into their helpless prey until it dies or is so high up that the skrik nettle needs only wait for the poison to end, its meal crashing helplessly to the ground below. - - - - - Skrik nettles that find their way to the Material Plane (or any plane other than the First World, for that matter) tend to be much more aggressive, for the planar energies that they find comforting and soothing on the First World are conspicuously absent. The first few minutes after a skrik nettle arrives on any plane but the First World tend to be filled with violence and fear, as the panicking creature lashes out at any nearby creatures (including other skrik nettles) in the mistaken notion that these others are somehow responsible for the discomforting change. After 10 minutes or so, assuming the skrik nettle survives its bout of violence, the creature calms down somewhat and does its best to acclimate to its new home. Yet even skrik nettles who find themselves marooned beyond the First World for years never lose their longing for home, and they instinctively seek out portals to this plane for the rest of their lives. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 22 - level: 6 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - N - - Large - - Aberration - senses: - - Perception +16 - - motionsense 30 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - perception: 16 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - - name: Motionsense - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A flying skrik nettle can detect the movement of nearby creatures and objects from the tiny gusts of wind created by their movements.

Even murder is merely another necessity, and they think nothing of creeping into a house, dispatching the residents, and taking what they want. - - - - - Their chameleon-like ability to blend into their surroundings makes skulks difficult to detect, so their ever-present populations around the periphery of large settlements are nearly impossible to dislodge permanently. They typically travel in small groups of no more than 16 individuals, since groups larger than that tend to break into violence directed at one other. While skulks see themselves as sharing a common history of being cast out and hated, this is not a strong enough bond to hold large groups of the creatures together with a shared purpose for very long. - - - - - Entrances and exits from cities, especially less-guarded access ways around sewers and the like, are skulks' favorite stomping grounds. These sites allow them to closely observe who comes and goes from the city while also affording them swift escape options, should the authorities uncover their presence. On rare occasions, a well-disciplined skulk can rise to prominence within the local thieves' guild and become sought after for difficult jobs. Their repugnant personalities and overwhelming selfishness, however, usually means they are unable to secure long-lasting leadership roles. - - - - - A typical skulk is 6 feet tall with similar body structure to a gangly human. Skulks mature quickly and can live up to 50 years, although most meet a violent end long before then. The rare skulk who manages to escape their society of violence and craven bitterness can be of any alignment, but those skulks who remain bound by their traditions always see these self-imposed exiles as the worst kind of traitors, and the exiles are often targeted for eradication to the exclusion of all other victims. More than one band of skulks has accidentally engineered its own doom after throwing caution to the wind and exposing its existence to the authorities in an ill-planned but violently passionate attempt to track down such an exile. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Humanoid__ (__Society__)**: DC 15 - level: 1 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Medium - traits: - - CE - - Medium - - Humanoid - - Skulk - senses: - - Perception +5 - - low-light vision - languages: - - Common - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 4 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Thievery ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - perception: 5 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 0 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 1 - sense_abilities: - - name: Camouflaged Step - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The skulk gains the benefit of the __Cover Tracks__ action in forests and subterranean settings without moving at half Speed. - raw_description: '**Camouflaged Step** The skulk gains the benefit of the __Cover Tracks__ action in forests and subterranean settings without moving at half Speed.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Chameleon Skin - action_cost: None - traits: - description: >+ - The skulk's skin shifts and changes to match the surroundings.

The fungus actually shares a symbiotic relationship with the slime mold, serving as an external digestive system while gaining access to the nutrients it needs. The ooze remains perfectly still until living prey passes within reach, then it lashes out with disgusting pseudopods. With a touch, a slime mold can infect its prey with a foul contagion known as slime rot, a horrific disease that painfully breaks down a victim's flesh. At first, the disease manifests as painful rashes and agonized joints. In the later stages, though, the flesh of the affected creature actually begins to liquefy and run in rivulets as the creature's spores continue to work. Death, when it occurs, swiftly causes the resulting body to split open and release a brand new slime mold. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fungus__ (__Nature__)**: DC 16 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Ooze__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 16 - level: 2 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - N - - Large - - Fungus - - Mindless - - Ooze - senses: - - Perception +6 - - motion sense 60 feet - - no vision - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 6 - misc: +8 amid decaying plant matter or fungus - perception: 6 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 3 - dex_mod: 0 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: -5 - wis_mod: 0 - cha_mod: -5 - sense_abilities: - - name: Motion Sense - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A slime mold can sense nearby creatures through vibration and air or water movement. - raw_description: '**Motion Sense** A slime mold can sense nearby creatures through vibration and air or water movement.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 12 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 11 - fort_misc: - ref: 3 - ref_misc: - will: 4 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 60 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - critical hits - - mental - - precision - - unconscious - - visual - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 10 - type: Land - - amount: 10 - type: climb - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: pseudopod - to_hit: 8 - traits: - damage: - formula: 1d8+3 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: slime rot - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Slime Rot - action_cost: None - traits: - - disease - description: '**Saving Throw** DC 18 Fortitude; **Onset** 1d4 days; **Stage 1** __enfeebled 1__ and __sickened 1__ (1 day); **Stage 2** as stage 1 (1 day); **Stage 3** __drained 1__, enfeebled 2, and sickened 2 (1 day); **Stage 4** as stage 3 (1 day); **Stage 5** drained 2 plus __unconscious__ (no Perception check to wake up) (1 day); **Stage 6** dead, and the body erupts to release a new slime mold' - raw_description: '**Slime Rot** (__disease__) **Saving Throw** DC 18 Fortitude; **Onset** 1d4 days; **Stage 1** __enfeebled 1__ and __sickened 1__ (1 day); **Stage 2** as stage 1 (1 day); **Stage 3** __drained 1__, enfeebled 2, and sickened 2 (1 day); **Stage 4** as stage 3 (1 day); **Stage 5** drained 2 plus __unconscious__ (no Perception check to wake up) (1 day); **Stage 6** dead, and the body erupts to release a new slime mold' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: -- name: Giant Slug - source: - - abbr: Bestiary 2 - page_start: 244 - page_stop: - description: >- - These massive, primeval relatives of ordinary slugs squirm slowly through swamps and grasslands. Giant slugs are always voracious and prefer to eat flesh or plants high in water content. They frequently consume livestock or strip bare entire orchards or melon crops. For cattle, pigs, or other sizable meals, they first shred the creatures using their radula—tongue-like appendages covered in teeth— to make them easier to consume. The mucus secreted by a giant slug is powerfully acidic and viscous. Wherever it travels, the creature leaves a trailing brown strip that kills most vegetation. Farmers and ranchers, especially those living near swamps known to contain giant slugs, keep close tabs on these journeys. Many almanacs go into great detail on slug migration and mating seasons. Since each giant slug needs its own wide hunting ground, the creatures typically come into proximity to mate only once a year. Either or both slugs can become impregnated, and any that do typically lay a clutch of around 100 eggs. They usually lay these eggs in a shallow bog or a cool, humid cave. - - - - - Giant slugs tend to travel at night, as the creatures dislike sunlight and dry weather. They have been known to seek out locations like barns, the undersides of bridges, or even fortifications like castles for shelter as dawn starts to break. Woe to the unprepared farmer who ambles out at sunrise to milk the cows but instead finds that a giant slug has made the barn its home! Subterranean giant slugs don't have to worry about sunlight, and crawl about on no schedule in particular. Narrow tunnels pose little obstacle for them, as the creatures can easily compress their bodies. These factors make their movements very unpredictable, so they pose quite a menace for underground peoples like __kobolds__ or __xulgaths__. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 24 - level: 8 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Huge - traits: - - N - - Huge - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +14 - - no hearing - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - perception: 14 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: -1 - con_mod: 7 - int_mod: -5 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: -4 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 25 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 21 - fort_misc: - ref: 11 - ref_misc: - will: 14 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 165 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: acid - weaknesses: - - amount: 5 - type: salt - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 20 - type: Land - - amount: 15 - type: climb - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: radula - to_hit: 21 - traits: - - reach 15 feet - damage: - formula: 2d10+10 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: mucus - - action_cost: One Action - name: foot - to_hit: 21 - traits: - - reach 10 feet - damage: - formula: 2d8+10 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: mucus - ranged: - - action_cost: One Action - name: disgorged mucus - to_hit: 17 - traits: - - brutal - - range increment 50 feet - - splash - damage: - formula: 3d6 - type: acid damage - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: mucus and 1d6 acid splash damage - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Malleable - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The giant slug can fit through tight spaces as if it were a Large creature.

With the slurk's natural ability to climb walls and cling effortlessly to ceilings, it can be easy for unwary cave explorers to end up on the wrong end of the beast's formidable ivory tusks. - - - - - Slurks exude two very different types of foul-smelling secretions from their pale white skin. Large pustules on the slurk's back drip a sticky resin-like slime that quickly hardens upon exposure to air. By flexing its skin, the slurk can burst these pustules in the direction of intruders, covering its foes in sticky goo and severely limiting their ability to withstand the monster's other attacks, including the effects of its other secretion. Glands along the slurk's ventral side excrete an incredibly slippery and fetid grease, which protects the slurk from the immobilizing effects of its own back slime but also has the added benefit of making it extremely difficult to grapple and capture. The best way to discover if a slurk is in the vicinity is to look for hard clumps of such grease, which accumulate and dry in cave corners and amid rock piles where the slurk rests between meals. - - - - - Slurks are thought to be descendants of a failed dwarven attempt to domesticate and breed large subterranean frogs as food and labor animals. Despite this apparent failure, slurks are often befriended by others who live underground. The sticky frog-beasts have proven extremely desirable to kobolds, who now domesticate and train slurks as powerful mounts and guardians. While other creatures, particularly boggards, sometimes train slurks to serve as guardians, kobolds remain those who use these creatures the most. A kobold mounted on a slurk will often hide in the upper ledges of a cave, using the advantages of height and surprise to harry foes with ranged attacks. Kobold riders also take advantage of the slurk's ability to climb, and charge at their enemies from the walls of a cavern. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 16 - level: 2 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - N - - Medium - - Animal - senses: - - Perception +6 - - darkvision - languages: - - Draconic - - (can't speak any language) - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 6 - misc: +8 to Escape - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 5 - misc: - perception: 6 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 0 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 17 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 10 - fort_misc: +12 vs. Grapple or Shove - ref: 6 - ref_misc: - will: 4 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 35 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 30 - type: Land - - amount: 30 - type: climb - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: tusks - to_hit: 11 - traits: - - deadly 1d10 - damage: - formula: 1d8+4 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - ranged: - - action_cost: One Action - name: slime squirt - to_hit: 9 - traits: - - range increment 30 feet - damage: - plus_damage: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Belly Grease - action_cost: Three Actions - traits: - description: The slurk extrudes a slippery grease from its ventral glands to coat the floor under it and in a 5-foot emanation, turning the affected area into uneven ground for 10 minutes, after which it dries to a putrid crust.

These little constructs are created for a variety of reasons—such as to serve as companions or servants—but their free will means their obedience to their creators is hardly a given. Followers of Pharasma generally abhor soulbound dolls, viewing them as a perversion of the natural cycle of souls, and those who worship the Lady of Graves see the destruction of a soulbound doll, regardless of the construct's alignment, as an important service to the Great Beyond. Soulbound dolls are the simplest in a series of soulbound constructs including human-sized soulbound mannequins, powerful soulbound shells, and sentinel soulbound terra-cotta warriors. Creating them from unwilling living creatures is evil, and an unwilling donor can resist the process with a successful Will save against the creator's Craft DC, ruining the doll if not preventing the donor's death. A non-evil doll can only be crafted from the soul of a person who has given consent to such use before their death occurred - - - - - Soulbound dolls encountered by adventurers are typically guardians of some sort; despite their diminutive size, the soul fragment's power makes the doll's flst more dangerous than a casual observer would expect. Further, it grants the doll a single spell of outsized power given its stature. Because of their autonomy and remarkable intelligence, soulbound dolls are occasionally employed by their crafters as administrators over much more powerful but mindless constructs such as golems, allowing such dolls to control defenses far beyond their own capabilities. Though soulbound dolls contain a small fragment of a soul extracted during or shortly after a person's death, this doesn't affect the deceased's resurrection or progress to the afterlife. This extraction process is lethal to otherwise-living prospective soul donors, though there are rumors of more expensive processes that allows someone to donate a fragment of a living soul without repercussions. - - - - - The soul fragment resides in a soul focus gem (Hardness 10) typically embedded in the doll's neck or chest. The soul fragment isn't static, and the doll continues to learn from its initial state, meaning its personality and abilities can change, possibly growing closer to the donor's or moving farther a eld on its own individual path. The soulbound doll's focus gem retains the doll's memories even after the doll's destruction. The the intact soul focus gem of a destroyed doll can even be placed into a new doll body by someone knowledgeable in the creation of soulbound creatures, effectively reconstituting the soulbound doll. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Construct__ (__Arcana__, __Crafting__)**: DC 16 - level: 2 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: Any - size: Tiny - traits: - - Any - - Tiny - - Construct - - Soulbound - senses: - - Perception +8 - - darkvision - languages: - - one spoken by its creator (typically Common) - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Occultism ' - bonus: 4 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - perception: 8 - ability_mods: - str_mod: -2 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: 0 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - - name: Personality Fragments - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A soulbound doll shares fragments of its donor soul's personality, though none of that creature's memories.

They form small groups consisting of a single, extended family that hunts and works together to protect and teach their young. As they mature, sphinxes develop a wanderlust, a drive to gather hidden lore and solve the world's greatest riddles—the trait that is perhaps most often identified with their kind. - - - - - While sometimes bound into service as guardians for powerful spellcasters, lone sphinxes may also be encountered on journeys of discovery and as purveyors of esoteric lore. If treated with the proper respect—and fed well—a sphinx can demonstrate a willingness to exchange information. Their favorite currency is, of course, riddles and secrets. One who can trade knowledge for knowledge has a much better chance of succeeding while bargaining with a sphinx. However, a sphinx's insatiable thirst for new riddles as well their extensive collection of secrets accumulated over hundreds of years of life—makes it difficult to offer them something they don't already know.

A stegosaurus defends itself by swinging its spiked tail at larger foes and trampling smaller opponents underfoot. - - - - - The stegosaurus often inhabits grasslands, where nutritious vegetation is plentiful and only its dorsal plates rise above waving fields of tall grass. The stegosaurus is among the most curious of dinosaurs, and hunters often find it easy to bait them with shiny trinkets or strange noises. A stegosaurus is about 30 feet long, 16 feet high at the top of its highest dorsal plate, and weighs between 2 and 3 tons. - - - - - The stegosaurus is generally more even-tempered and even gentle, despite its size, than the ankylosaurus. This combination makes it even more popular as a trained pet or guard, but even then one should take care to not annoy the dinosaur—an angry or annoyed stegosaurus can lash out with its tail with little warning. Often, it's wiser to train smaller variants, such as the kentrosaurus. Regardless, their dorsal plates make this dinosaur a poor choice as a mount. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 23 - level: 7 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Huge - traits: - - N - - Huge - - Animal - - Dinosaur - senses: - - Perception +15 - - low-light vision - - scent (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - perception: 15 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 23 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 17 - fort_misc: - ref: 13 - ref_misc: - will: 13 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 125 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Dorsal Deflection - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: '**Dorsal Deflection** [Reaction] **Trigger** The stegosaurus is targeted with a melee attack. **Effect** The stegosaurus leans its dorsal plates into the attack, gaining a +2 circumstance bonus to its AC against the triggering attack.

Survivors from time-lost civilizations bent on carrying out orders from long-gone masters, these immense stone golems are much more powerful than most stone golems. They are always level 15 or higher and never smaller than Huge in size—most are Gargantuan.

They occasionally raid humanoid villages, but such cases are opportunistic rather than malicious, with a focus on stealing away livestock for food rather than people. Nevertheless, the arrival of a group of taiga giants is a potentially devastating event to any town or village, so many communities attempt to placate the giants by creating a yearly offering at those times when they know the giants are scheduled to come close. - - - - - Most taiga giants venerate their ancestors and seek to honor their works in everything they do. This deep connection makes them ferociously proud of those legacies, and little can compel taiga giants to go to war more swiftly than insulting their ancestors. Merely mentioning the false rumors that ancient taiga giant spellcasters were responsible for the creation of the first rune giants is a surefire way to earn a taiga giant's unending wrath. - - - - - A taiga giant stands 20 feet tall and weighs 10,000 pounds. - - - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Humanoid__ (__Society__)**: DC 30 - level: 12 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CN - size: Huge - traits: - - CN - - Huge - - Giant - - Humanoid - senses: - - Perception +23 - - low-light vision - - see invisibility - languages: - - Common - - Jotun - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Genealogy Lore ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 10 - misc: +22 in undergrowth - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 25 - misc: - perception: 23 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 1 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 2 - sense_abilities: - - name: See Invisibility - action_cost: None - traits: - description: >+ - A taiga giant can see invisible creatures and objects as translucent shapes, and they are __concealed__ to the taiga giant. - - raw_description: >+ - **See Invisibility** A taiga giant can see invisible creatures and objects as translucent shapes, and they are __concealed__ to the taiga giant. - - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - - +1 striking longspear - - sack with 5 rocks - ac: 32 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 25 - fort_misc: - ref: 20 - ref_misc: - will: 22 - will_misc: - misc: +2 status to all saves vs. enchantment and illusion effects - hp: 230 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - controlled - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Catch Rock - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: '**__Catch Rock__** [Reaction]' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Guardian Spirit - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: "**Guardian Spirit [Reaction]** **Trigger** The taiga giant has Ancestral Guardian active and would take energy or mental damage; **Effect** The taiga giant's ancestral spirits intervene and protect the giant from taking up to 20 energy damage or 30 mental damage.

Distant relatives of true dragons, tatzlwyrms possess only a meager level of intelligence. They can speak __Draconic__ (with a thick, hissing accent), but their ability to reason is limited and they can't use magic. They do possess a level of cunning, however, and some have been known to build rudimentary traps and even lairs. They are not treasure-hoarders, though, so don't expect to find a tatzlwyrm sitting atop a bed of coins. - - - - - Some tatzlwyrms have managed to forge working relationships with dragons, though it's a rare occurrence. From time to time, dragons have used them as messengers (because they can speak their language, however crudely), scouts (due to their smaller size), guides (when they're familiar with a particular mountain), and even muscle (harassing foes not worthy of a dragon's direct attention). - - - - - Tatzlwyrms don't work with __kobolds__, though—tatzlwyrms eat kobolds. - - - - - Tatzlwyrms hibernate in cold weather, and when they feel winter approaching they seek out underground lairs, mountain crevices, or even hay lofts. On one notable occasion, townsfolk reported being briefly overrun by tatzlwyrms after a conflict between spellcasters in the nearby hills caused a sudden blizzard. Local scholars still debate whether the cause of the influx was the sudden change in weather or if the creatures were drawn to one of the other magic users staying in town who were part of the same pilgrimage as those doing battle. - - - - - When confronted, tatzlwyrms are more likely to attack than retreat. Indeed, they sometimes lie in wait on purpose, taking advantage of their scales' natural camouflage and awaiting the chance to unleash their signature move: belching poisonous vapor into an opponent's face. Since this breath attack doesn't have much range, the wyrms usually need to grab their foes first and bring them close to their mouth. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 16 - level: 2 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - N - - Medium - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +8 - - darkvision - languages: - - Draconic - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Crafting ' - bonus: 4 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - perception: 8 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 1 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: -3 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - - name: Natural Camouflage - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A tatzlwyrm's green, gray, and brown scales provide it natural camouflage.

Tendriculoses are instinctive ambush predators who seek out lightly traveled forest paths and lie in wait in the undergrowth. A tendriculos swallows its prey as quickly as possible and lets its paralytic digestive juices finish the meal, while swiftly restoring itself with the nourishment provided by the trapped creature. When collected, neutralized, and refined, the digestive fluids of a tendriculos form a lacquer that retains some of the tendriculos's acid resistance. - - - - - A tendriculos comes into being with a rudimentary understanding of the __Sylvan__ language, but in some cases it might manifest knowing a different tongue, such as __Aklo__, __Draconic__, or even __Necril__. Regardless, tendriculoses have little patience for chattering from potential meals, though some determined fey and primal spellcasters have been known to form alliances or even closer bonds with tendriculoses. Befriending a tendriculos requires great patience and plentiful food—and these the gifts of food must be alive when handed over. - - - - - When it has finished feeding and is out of combat, a tendriculos slips into a quiescent state for a full day, one of the few times it is safe to approach. Upon rousing, it seeks the deep forest to regurgitate the less digestible portions of its meal. These remains may contain valuables that survived digestion and indicate that a tendriculos's hunting grounds lie nearby. - - - - - Tendriculoses dwell in deep woods and jungles. Those too near populated areas soon draw unwanted attention with their ravenous appetites. Well-fed tendriculoses develop fruiting bodies that cast forth millions of spores. Spores that happen to alight on carrion grow into new tendriculoses. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fungus__ (__Nature__)**: DC 23 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Plant__ (__Nature__)**: DC 23 - level: 7 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Huge - traits: - - N - - Huge - - Fungus - - Plant - senses: - - Perception +15 - - low-light vision - languages: - - Sylvan - - (can't speak any language) - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 14 - misc: +16 in undergrowth - perception: 15 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: -2 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 25 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 17 - fort_misc: - ref: 12 - ref_misc: - will: 13 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 120 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - acid - resistances: - - amount: 5 - type: piercing - - amount: 5 - type: slashing - weaknesses: - - amount: 5 - type: fire - automatic_abilities: - - name: Attack of Opportunity - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: Tentacle only. - raw_description: "**Attack of Opportunity** [Reaction] **Trigger** A creature within your reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. **Effect** You lash out at a foe that leaves an opening.

Tengus are used to being minorities and facing suspicion wherever they travel, so by necessity many possess a knack for languages as well as for blades. They live on the fringes of society and tend to flock toward less-than-legal occupations, earning them their reputation for being streetwise and unscrupulous—a label that, in turn, perpetuates the tengus' oppressive cycle of discrimination and illegitimate work. - - - - - Although humanoid, tengus have very distinct, birdlike features, and many would say that they resemble crows more than they do humans. They have strong, thick beaks, as well as sharp talons at the ends of their arms and legs. Most of a tengu's body is covered in small feathers that range in color from dark brown and midnight blue to glossy black, with lighter colors being rare but not unheard of. Like many avian creatures, tengus have hollow bones, making them much lighter than other humanoids of their size, although few tengus possess the wings necessary to fly naturally. A tengu's speech might be punctuated by quick clucks or throaty cawing, and many tengus practice conversation diligently to rid themselves of these involuntary ticks. Ruf ing of the feathers and compulsive, jerky movements of the neck are other trademark habits. Tengus reproduce by laying eggs: the average tengu egg is about 11 inches in diameter and 16 inches tall and takes 4 months to hatch. - - - - - Tengus are a people in diaspora and are almost always found within larger kingdoms and communities of other races. Perhaps because they are more visually distinctive than most other humanoid races, tengus tend to be distrusted and persecuted more often than, for example, elves or dwarves. As a result, tengus tend to gather in close-knit social groups composed of other outcasts and people of uncommon ancestry. Few true tengu communities exist, and those that do are often exiled to ghettos and other forgotten city quarters. From an early age, tengus learn that the world is not a friendly place and that they must look out for themselves. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Humanoid__ (__Society__)**: DC 16 - level: 2 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CN - size: Medium - traits: - - CN - - Medium - - Humanoid - - Tengu - senses: - - Perception +6 - - low-light vision - languages: - - Common - - Tengu - - plus two others - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 5 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 5 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Thievery ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - perception: 6 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 2 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 1 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 0 - cha_mod: 1 - sense_abilities: - items: - - rapier - - shortbow - - studded leather armor - ac: 19 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 7 - fort_misc: - ref: 10 - ref_misc: - will: 4 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 27 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: rapier - to_hit: 10 - traits: - - deadly 1d8 - - disarm - - finesse - damage: - formula: 1d6+2 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: beak - to_hit: 10 - traits: - - finesse - damage: - formula: 1d4+2 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - ranged: - - action_cost: One Action - name: shortbow - to_hit: 10 - traits: - - deadly 1d10 - - range increment 60 feet - - reload 0 - damage: - formula: 1d6 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Go for the Eyes - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - - incapacitation - description: - raw_description: "**Go for the Eyes** [Reaction] (__incapacitation__) **Trigger** The tengu critically hits with a beak Strike. **Effect** The tengu attempts to peck out its victim's eyes.

These behemoths of rot don't need to travel to see their plans come to fruition, though; their spores easily latch onto demons and other denizens of the Abyss, who in turn bring this blight to the Material Plane when the fiends are summoned. - - - - - When a terotricus infects a creature with its spores, web-like fungal growths start appearing on the victim's skin until they cover the entire body, at which point the victim's mind is also subdued and bent to the terotricus's will. The terotricus's favored victims include animals, elves, and fey, though it is happy to infect any creature it can catch.

Immune to poison and able to traverse sticky webs thanks to the thick slime that covers their bodies, tixitogs steal food cocooned in spider lairs and prey on spiders themselves, but they are careful never to kill so many that their food supply runs out. Their favorite meal, however, is the odd adventurer or spelunker who stumbles into their nest. - - - - - These strange creatures have oblong bodies coated in a viscous and transparent slime, three large black eyes, and eight thick, multi-jointed limbs, four of which are inverted and point upward, allowing the monster to easily crawl on either the ceiling or floor of narrow caverns and squeeze through narrow spaces. Their jaws appear small and tubular when closed but peel apart and stretch to terrifying proportions when opened, as their dozens of pointed teeth part to reveal a freakishly long tongue. - - - - - A tixitog usually hides from the spiders in the lair it has claimed, not out of fear but to keep the spiders from abandoning the lair and moving elsewhere. When a tixitog emerges from the shadows, most spiders flee from it rather than attack, and the tixitog uses this behavior to direct entire swarms of spiders where it pleases. This is typically bad news for bands of adventurers who find themselves within a tixitog's lair; in the mass hysteria caused by a skittering swarm of spiders headed straight toward them, spelunkers typically fail to notice the more dangerous threat that follows closely behind. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 20 - level: 3 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Medium - traits: - - Uncommon - - NE - - Medium - - Aberration - senses: - - Perception +9 - - darkvision - - web sense (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Aklo - - Common - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 10 - misc: - - name: 'Occultism ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Spider Lore ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 10 - misc: - perception: 9 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 3 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 0 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: -1 - sense_abilities: - - name: Web Sense - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The tixitog can detect the vibrations of creatures touching a web that the tixitog is also touching. - raw_description: '**Web Sense** The tixitog can detect the vibrations of creatures touching a web that the tixitog is also touching.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 19 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 9 - fort_misc: - ref: 10 - ref_misc: - will: 7 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 40 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - poison - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - - amount: 25 - type: climb - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws - to_hit: 10 - traits: - damage: - formula: 1d12+5 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: tongue - to_hit: 12 - traits: - - reach 20 feet - damage: - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: leg - to_hit: 10 - traits: - - agile - damage: - formula: 1d10+5 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Swallow Whole - action_cost: One Action - traits: - description: Small, 1d12+3 bludgeoning, Rupture 10 - raw_description: '**Swallow Whole** Small, 1d12+3 bludgeoning, Rupture 10' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Tongue Pull - action_cost: None - traits: - description: When a tixitog hits a Small or smaller creature with its tongue Strike, the target is pulled into the tixitog's mouth.

Though unable to sate their perverse desires, these foul undead can drain the very flesh from their victims so as to wrap themselves in a perverse mockery of life that allows them to pursue their base wants. Totenmaskes' specific longings vary—one might be obsessed with food or drink, while another might be vain and desirous of an attractive form to marvel at in a mirror, while yet another could simply long for the scent of blood. Whatever the sensation the totenmaske seeks, it is always a vice taken to extreme, for this sin is what helped condemn it to unlife in the first place. A totenmaske obsessed with food, for example, might find itself assaulting bakeries or breweries, while a vain totenmaske obsessed with glamor could quickly grow bored of each new look and switch its victims out daily, or even hourly. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Undead__ (__Religion__)**: DC 23 - level: 7 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Medium - traits: - - NE - - Medium - - Undead - senses: - - Perception +15 - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - - Necril - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - - name: 'Thievery ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - perception: 15 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 4 - dex_mod: 6 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 25 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 15 - fort_misc: - ref: 17 - ref_misc: - will: 13 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 128 - hp_misc: negative healing negative healing - immunities: - - death effects - - disease - - paralyzed - - poison - - unconscious - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 40 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws - to_hit: 18 - traits: - - finesse - damage: - formula: 2d6+7 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: 2d6 - type: negative - - action_cost: One Action - name: claw - to_hit: 18 - traits: - - agile - - finesse - damage: - formula: 2d8+7 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Drink Flesh - action_cost: One Action - traits: - - divine - - necromancy - description: - raw_description: "**Drink Flesh** (__divine__, __necromancy__) **Requirement** The totenmaske hit the same enemy with two claw Strikes this turn and is still adjacent to it; **Effect** The totenmaske drains flesh from the creature's body.

Requiring vast quantities of meat to fuel their regenerative metabolisms, packs of wild trollhounds prowl the foothills of regions where __trolls__ dwell, their voracious hunger driving them to slaughter and consume any prey they encounter. In some regions, trolls breed trollhounds as pets, utilizing the trollhounds' keen sense of smell to aid in the hunt. - - - - - Covered in fetid, weeping sores, trollhounds are carriers of a debilitating contagion known as bloodfire fever. Creatures that contract the disease through the bite of a trollhound experience deep internal pain, as if their blood were on fire. Additional symptoms include loss of muscle coordination, pus-filled blisters, and overall lethargy and fatigue. Other than suffering from skin irritation, both trolls and trollhounds are immune to the major effects of the disease. - - - - - Trollhounds are fearless on the hunt and in combat, relying on their ability to regenerate to carry them through. Not even the threat of fire is enough to repel them, as the beasts don't recognize the danger it represents. Nevertheless, fire is one of the most effective tools in combating trollhounds; canny hunters know to burn every last remnant of a supposedly slain trollhound, for their regenerative powers are potent indeed. - - - - - While trolls themselves have had great success in domesticating, training, and even befriending trollhounds, the same cannot be said for other would-be masters. Whether impeded by constant exposure to trollhounds' diseased slobber, their ravenous hunger that never seems to be fully sated, or simply their foul personality and quick-to-bite temperament, most attempts to use trollhounds in place of more reliable guardians end in pain, misery, and a pack of feral trollhounds escaping into the hinterlands. Left to their own devices, a pack of escaped trollhounds can breed relatively quickly, and it can take less than a year for a small pack to multiply into a significant threat to the countryside.

A twigjack's body is made up of prickly brambles woven with vines. Shaggy, mossy growth, not unlike hair, tops a twigjack's head. Its mouth is just a canyon of splintered and broken sticks bisecting its face. Leaves and sprigs of new growth randomly sprout from the creature's body. Many dense forests on Golarion have at least a handful of twigjacks living in the undergrowth. - - - - - While truculent and violent, twigjacks care deeply for what they consider to be their forests. These creatures harass outsiders who delve deep into their wooded domains, forcing back even the most determined explorers, foresters, and travelers, especially when those intruders cut roads through the forest. However, they are not terribly territorial when it comes to other forest creatures. When sylvan creatures, especially __fey__, rally against an outside threat, twigjacks in the area eagerly arrive to fight, even if they were not invited. - - - - - Less seasoned travelers who encounter twigjacks in their canopied homes often mistake them for __leshys__, a tendency that frustrates twigjacks, as they have a low opinion of such creatures. More broadly, twigjacks resent being considered mere animated plants at all. Rather, they embrace their fey heritage—often to a foolish end. Twigjacks go out of their way to ingratiate themselves to the fey creatures they live among. Several popular comic songs weave the tale of a twigjack attempting to woo a powerful and graceful __dryad__, only to be comically disgraced after many loutish attempts. Many fey seem embarrassed by these strange cousins, but some __spriggans__, __quicklings__, and __redcaps__ harness the twigjacks' violent urges and disruptive behavior for their own purposes. - - - - - While twigjacks are fey, and as such are often found in the __First World__, it's somewhat curious that those twigjacks who find religion only rarely turn to the Eldest of the First World. Instead, twigjacks tend to worship false deities of their own design: figures spotted in tangles of tree branches, clots of undergrowth, or other hidden nooks in the natural world. These religions are always highly localized, and while these faiths do not support clerics, they often inspire zealous crusades against non-fey. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Fey__ (__Nature__)**: DC 18 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Plant__ (__Nature__)**: DC 18 - level: 3 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Tiny - traits: - - CE - - Tiny - - Fey - - Plant - senses: - - Perception +9 - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 9 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - perception: 9 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 2 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 0 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 1 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 19 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 9 - fort_misc: - ref: 11 - ref_misc: - will: 7 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 50 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - weaknesses: - - amount: 5 - type: fire - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: claw - to_hit: 11 - traits: - - agile - - finesse - damage: - formula: 1d10+4 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - ranged: - - action_cost: One Action - name: splinter - to_hit: 11 - traits: - - deadly 1d6 - - range increment 30 feet - damage: - formula: 1d6+4 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Bramble Jump - action_cost: Three Actions - traits: - - conjuration - - plant - - primal - - teleportation - description: - raw_description: "**Bramble Jump** [Three Actions] (__conjuration__, __plant__, __primal__, __teleportation__) **Requirements** The twigjack is in undergrowth; **Effect** The twigjack scrambles into the undergrowth and instantly teleports to a square of undergrowth within 60 feet.

Although they can subsist on carrion, tyrannosaurs prefer live prey. - - - - - Tyrannosauruses stand on two wide, powerful hind legs that allow them to run quickly, and their thick tails provide them with exceptional balance. Although a their small forelimbs are of little use other than to hold prey in place while the predators tear at their victim's flesh with their fearsome jaws, even these forelimbs bear sharp claws several inches long. As fearsome as tyrannosauruses are alone, they sometimes hunt in packs to take down massive prey. Only the most powerful creatures can successfully train tyrannosauruses, and even then, only when they can provide the ravenous beasts with a steady diet of meat. - - - - - Some tribes of giants, particularly cyclopes or more obscure denizens of primeval lands, have even trained tyrannosauruses as mounts or beasts of war. In other places, xulgaths feed these prisoners to these mighty dinosaurs as part of executions or ritual sacrifices. Some xulgath cults even revere tyrannosaurs as incarnations of their violent demonic demigods. For their part, tyrannosaurs who have grown used to having their meals provided in this manner are remarkably well-behaved toward their feeders and keepers. Tyrannosauruses are 50 feet long and weigh 7 tons or more. - - - Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 27 - level: 10 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Gargantuan - traits: - - N - - Gargantuan - - Animal - - Dinosaur - senses: - - Perception +19 - - low-light vision - - scent (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - perception: 19 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 8 - dex_mod: 1 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: -4 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 29 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 21 - fort_misc: - ref: 15 - ref_misc: - will: 19 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 180 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: - type: '>' - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 40 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws - to_hit: 22 - traits: - - deadly 1d12 - - reach 20 feet - damage: - formula: 2d12+12 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: Grab - - action_cost: One Action - name: foot - to_hit: 22 - traits: - - reach 15 feet - damage: - formula: 2d10+12 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Fling - action_cost: One Action - traits: - description: - raw_description: "**Fling** **Requirements** A creature is Grabbed in the tyrannosaurus's jaws. **Effect** The tyrannosaurus flings the creature into the air up to 10 feet up from its mouth and 20ft away.

Despite this animalistic drive, umonlees are semi-intelligent creatures who often select and stalk their prey. However, they are not terribly bright and often keep their hunting grounds in sparsely-trafficked areas. It is rare for an umonlee to attack a village, but one might attack a sparse group, such as a hunting or scouting party. Many caravans traversing the Path of Aganhei—the trade route between the continents of Avistan and Tian Xia that crosses the Crown of the World—have had their expeditions abruptly ended by an encounter with one of these monstrosities. - - - - - Those who study monsters posit that umonlees are related to __chuuls__, as the creatures exhibit some similarities. Both are semi-intelligent, crustacean predators that use ambush tactics to kill and eat their prey. Even though they can talk, umonlees typically only speak __Aklo__, which also gives credence to this theory. This would also lend to the theory that chuuls are products of __alghollthu__ manipulation, meaning that umonlees are also the results of these alien designs. However, the fact that these creatures aren't evil argues well against such a theory. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 36 - level: 15 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Huge - traits: - - Uncommon - - N - - Huge - - Amphibious - - Beast - - Cold - senses: - - Perception +25 - - darkvision - - tremorsense (imprecise) 80 feet - languages: - - Aklo - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 31 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 24 - misc: - perception: 25 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 8 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 7 - int_mod: -3 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 39 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 28 - fort_misc: - ref: 26 - ref_misc: - will: 23 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status vs. mental - hp: 320 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - cold - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: mental - weaknesses: - - amount: 15 - type: fire - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 50 - type: Land - - amount: 25 - type: burrow - - amount: 40 - type: swim - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws - to_hit: 31 - traits: - - reach 10 feet - damage: - formula: 3d6+16 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: 3d6 - type: cold - - action_cost: One Action - name: pincers - to_hit: 31 - traits: - - agile - - reach 15 feet - damage: - formula: 3d8+16 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: Improved Grab - ranged: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Freezing Breath - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - - cold - - evocation - - incapacitation - - primal - description: "The umonlee breathes a cone of extremely cold air that damages its prey and can freeze them to the ground.

With an amorphous body that consists as much of fluid as it does of air, these creatures dwell in swamps or moist underground regions where their vulnerability to heat isn't as much of a concern. Still, they prefer to lair near the fringes of such areas, as a vampiric mist needs a constant supply of fresh blood for sustenance. While blood drawn from animals is just as nutritious as blood from anything else, these sadistic monsters vastly prefer the flavor of blood drawn from thinking creatures. Like __will-o'-wisps__, vampiric mists find that fear flavors the blood, though they gain no particular advantage by feeding on the frightened. - - - - - Although somewhat intelligent, vampiric mists do not form societies. They sometimes group into small gangs, but even then they show little interest in working together. Vampiric mists spend most of their time seeking prey—a pursuit they approach with great creativity. The mists' propensity for taking on vague, skeletal forms of the creatures whose blood they drink further adds to their mystique and fuels rumors that they have connections to the undead. Indeed, many vampiric mists enjoy using this common misconception to their advantage, leading foes to apply foolish tactics—such as tricking spellcasters into attempting to use positive energy against them as if they were undead monsters. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 18 - level: 3 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Medium - traits: - - NE - - Medium - - Aberration - senses: - - Perception +9 - - darkvision - - sense blood (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Aklo - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 10 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 10 - misc: - perception: 9 - ability_mods: - str_mod: -5 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: -1 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - - name: Misty Form - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A vampiric mist's body is composed of a semisolid red mist similar in consistency to thick foam.

Persistent stories claim the viper vine can lure prey into its clutches by swaying with a hypnotic motion, but this effect is in fact created by this invisible, odorless pollen cloud. - - - - - Since a viper vine gains nourishment by consuming creatures rather than through ingesting moisture and soil, it has developed rudimentary locomotion and can drag itself along the ground with its tentacle-like roots.

This walking corpse is animated by a larval akata attached to the deceased creature's brain, using a grotesque feeding tendril that emerges from the corpse's mouth to drink blood from its victims. - - - - - A void zombie typically exists for only a few months before it collapses and the larval akata crawls free from the motionless shell. When it feels the natural end of its unlife approaching, a void zombie finds a secluded place to vomit forth the nearly mature akata larva, then withers away. The disgorged larva metamorphizes into a full-grown akata several hours later, usually eating the corpse as its first meal. - - - - - The name "void zombie" is something of a misnomer; though still compelled by necromantic energies, a void zombie is a host in the life cycle of a parasitic alien, not a mindless, reanimated corpse (despite their similar appearances). The fact that a typical void zombie shares the neutral alignment of the larval akata within, rather than the intrinsically evil nature of other zombies, has caused some scholars to push to reclassify them under other names. Suggestions have included "void dead," "akata spawn," or "bloodwalker," but the visceral and compelling commonplace name has proven difficult to shed. - - - - - The driving force behind a void zombie's violence rises from the ravenous hunger of the alien parasite that serves as the channel for its animating negative energies. Necromancers have tried often to duplicate the void zombie, but without a larval akata hosted within, the result is simply a zombie with missing jaws or, at best, one that moves faster than normal. Others have compared a captive void zombie to a captive yellow musk thrall (page 301) in an attempt to discover a potential link between the two— after all, both are animated bodies controlled by a parasitic outside force. Strangely, a void zombie becomes particularly violent when encountering a __yellow musk thrall__, making direct comparisons of the two creatures particularly difficult, or even dangerous. The fact that a void zombie, unlike a yellow musk thrall, is actually undead may hold some clues as to the source of this strange behavior. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Undead__ (__Religion__)**: DC 20 - level: 1 - rarity: Rare - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - Rare - - N - - Medium - - Undead - senses: - - Perception +3 - - darkvision - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 6 - misc: - perception: 3 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 3 - dex_mod: -2 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: -5 - wis_mod: 0 - cha_mod: -2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 13 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 7 - fort_misc: - ref: 3 - ref_misc: - will: 5 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 26 - hp_misc: negative healing - immunities: - - death effects - - disease - - paralyzed - - poison - resistances: - - amount: 5 - type: salt water - - amount: 2 - type: slashing - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Salt Water Vulnerability - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Salt water acts as an extremely strong acid on the larval __akata__ inside the void zombie.

They maintain a thriving ecology in the Maelstrom, frolicking in schools of up to 20 and playing in the chaos of constantly shifting realities. Elsewhere (such as on the Material Plane), voidworms are mesmerized by the principle of object permanence; many latch onto specific features of a region (such as a hillside or pond) and flit through the air around it for months or even years as they wait for the object of their curiosity to change. Minor changes— such as a tree's change of color in the fall, a corpse's slow decay, or periodic venting of steam from a geyser—all fascinate voidworms.

To some travelers, every lake of respectable size seems to be surrounded by towns full of fishers claiming to have spotted a water orm.

Some claim that water orms are an offshoot of __sea serpents__ and __linnorms__, but no credible link between these creatures has been found. - - - - - Water orms have many features that sea serpents do not, such as the ability to understand the rudiments of language. Their natural inclination to avoid contact and remain hidden often remains at odds with their equally compelling curiosity about those they might spy upon the shores of their lakes. Water orm sightings usually occur when they can't help but to rise up to the surface to take a peek at someone (or something) particularly unusual on the beach or floating on the water's surface. - - - - - These creatures are extremely long-lived and can go for decades, or even centuries, with very little to eat. This allows water orms to subsist in lakes without surfacing for many years, even in bodies of fresh water without ample food sources. Water orms might lie in a silty lake bed for years, their elusiveness only contributing to their mythical reputation. When a pet or child goes missing near a lake, rumors might hold that the local water orm is responsible, leading to folk tales that caution residents against venturing out alone near the water. - - - - - While most water orms are described as serpentine or long-necked reptiles, others look similar to bizarrely elongated seals or whales, impossibly large sea horses, or long-necked creatures with paddles resembling those of __elasmosauruses__. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 32 - level: 10 - rarity: Rare - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Huge - traits: - - Rare - - N - - Huge - - Aquatic - - Beast - - Water - senses: - - Perception +21 - - darkvision - languages: - - Aquan - - (can't speak any language) - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - perception: 21 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 8 - dex_mod: 5 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: -3 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - - name: Slow Metabolism - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A water orm can go for 10 years without feeding.

Possessing a rudimentary intelligence and an unquenchable thirst for blood, wemmuths lie in wait for most of their lives, growing to incredible size in the bloody soil of their grisly homes. Though the vines that comprise a wemmuth's body are scarcely thicker than rope, a single adult wemmuth system consists of 6 tons of vines, enough to stretch for 6,000 feet if stretched from end to end in a single straight line. Wemmuths never orient themselves this way, however, instead preferring to wrap themselves into massive mounds approximately 15 feet across and equally thick. Although wemmuths are often spotted lazing about, the scent of blood is enough to whip one into a violent frenzy. The creature condenses its entire mass into a sphere of sharp thorns and lashing vines, resembling a hateful tumbleweed the size of an elephant. Wemmuths commonly dig up massive boulders or entire trees from the ground and incorporate them into their rolling mass, using these objects to bolster their defense against many forms of attack or hurling them at faraway foes with terrifying precision. - - - - - Some speculate that wemmuths are a form of diabolical corruption let loose upon Golarion by House Thrune of Cheliax, perhaps as a scorched earth tactic against their rivals. Influential nobles from Nirmathas and Molthune both point fingers at one another for the wemmuth's creation, Nirmathas citing Molthune's close ties to Infernal Cheliax and Molthune blaming the primal magic commonly employed by Nirmathas's many druids and rangers. Several Varisian tales describe creatures closely matching the wemmuth's description attempting to apprehend a famous folk trickster, while crusaders from Mendev adhere to the belief that the wemmuths were a blight unleashed upon Golarion by Deskari, former demon lord of locusts, before his defeat at the hands of mortal heroes. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Plant__ (__Nature__)**: DC 34 - level: 15 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Huge - traits: - - NE - - Huge - - Plant - senses: - - Perception +25 - - darkvision - - tremorsense (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Aklo - - Sylvan - - (can't speak any language) - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 30 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 28 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 30 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 27 - misc: - perception: 25 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 8 - dex_mod: 6 - con_mod: 6 - int_mod: -2 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 37 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 27 - fort_misc: - ref: 27 - ref_misc: - will: 24 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 335 - hp_misc: blood leech - immunities: - resistances: - weaknesses: - - amount: 20 - type: cold - - amount: 15 - type: slashing - automatic_abilities: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - - amount: 25 - type: burrow - - amount: 25 - type: climb - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: pummel - to_hit: 29 - traits: - - fatal d12 - - reach 15 feet - - sweep - damage: - formula: 4d12+10 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: Improved Grab - ranged: - - action_cost: One Action - name: boulder - to_hit: 27 - traits: - - fatal d12 - - range increment 60 feet - damage: - formula: 4d10+10 - type: bludgeoning - plus_damage: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Blood Leech - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: '**Blood Leech** [Reaction] **Trigger** The wemmuth deals damage to a creature with Constrict. **Effect** The wemmuth heals a number of Hit Points equal to half the total damage dealt by Constrict.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: The wemmuth deals damage to a creature with Constrict. - effect: The wemmuth heals a number of Hit Points equal to half the total damage dealt by Constrict. - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Constrict - action_cost: One Action - traits: - description: 2d12+10, DC 37 - raw_description: '**Constrict** 2d12+10, DC 37' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Engulf - action_cost: Two Actions - traits: - description: DC 37, 4d8 bludgeoning, Escape DC 35, Rupture 36 - raw_description: '**Engulf** [Two Actions] DC 37, 4d8 bludgeoning, Escape DC 35, Rupture 36' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Thorny Mass - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Whenever a creature within 10 feet attempts a melee attack against a wemmuth or uses Acrobatics to Tumble Through its space, that creature takes 1d12+10 piercing damage. - raw_description: '**Thorny Mass** Whenever a creature within 10 feet attempts a melee attack against a wemmuth or uses Acrobatics to Tumble Through its space, that creature takes 1d12+10 piercing damage.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: -- name: Wendigo - source: - - abbr: Bestiary - page_start: 327 - page_stop: - description: >- - Wendigos are incarnations of the fears of starvation, loneliness, and fatal exposure to cold weather.

Wererats look very similar to ratfolk when in hybrid form, apart from potential differences in size, but ratfolk have no love for these monsters. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 16 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Humanoid__ (__Society__)**: DC 16 - level: 2 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Medium - traits: - - LE - - Medium - - Beast - - Human - - Humanoid - - Werecreature - senses: - - Perception +8 - - low-light vision - - scent (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - - Common - - rat empathy - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 6 - misc: +8 to Climb or Swim - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 5 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 4 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 8 - misc: - perception: 8 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 2 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 0 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 1 - sense_abilities: - - name: Rat Empathy - action_cost: None - traits: - - divination - - primal - description: >+ - The wererat can communicate with rodents. - - raw_description: >+ - **Rat Empathy** (__divination__, __primal__) The wererat can communicate with rodents. - - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - - hand crossbow (20 bolts) - - leather armor - - shortsword - ac: 19 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 6 - fort_misc: - ref: 10 - ref_misc: - will: 8 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 45 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - weaknesses: - - amount: 5 - type: silver - automatic_abilities: - - name: Nimble Dodge - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: '**Nimble Dodge** [Reaction] **Trigger** The wererat is targeted with a melee or ranged attack by an attacker it can see. **Eflect** The wererat gains a +2 circumstance bonus to AC against the triggering attack.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: The wererat is targeted with a melee or ranged attack by an attacker it can see. - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - speed: - - amount: 25 - type: Land - melee: - - action_cost: One Action - name: shortsword - to_hit: 10 - traits: - - agile - - finesse - - versatile S - damage: - formula: 1d6+4 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: claw - to_hit: 10 - traits: - - agile - - finesse - damage: - formula: 1d6+2 - type: slashing - plus_damage: - - action_cost: One Action - name: jaws - to_hit: 10 - traits: - - finesse - damage: - formula: 1d8+2 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - - formula: - type: curse of the wererat - ranged: - - action_cost: One Action - name: hand crossbow - to_hit: 10 - traits: - - range increment 60 feet - - reload 1 - damage: - formula: 1d6 - type: piercing - plus_damage: - spell_lists: - ritual_lists: - proactive_abilities: - - name: Charge Shape - action_cost: One Action - traits: - - concentrate - - polymorph - - primal - - transmutation - description: Human with fist +10 for 1d4+2 bludgeoning, or Small rat with Speed 30 feet, climb 10 feet. - raw_description: '**Charge Shape** (__concentrate__, __polymorph__, __primal__, __transmutation__) Human with fist +10 for 1d4+2 bludgeoning, or Small rat with Speed 30 feet, climb 10 feet.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Curse of the Wererat - action_cost: None - traits: - - curse - - necromancy - - primal - description: This curse affects only humanoids. **Saving Throw** DC 18 Fortitude save.

They arise as a result of necromantic rituals, especially violent deaths, or the sheer malevolent will of the deceased. - - - - - As many types of wights exist as types of people from which they might be created. Hulking brutes, skittering sneaks, and cunning tinkers all make for different wights with different niches to fill. Environment, too, plays a part in determining a wight's special abilities and defenses. Frost wights, for instances, can be found in the parts of the world where exposure is a common end. Regardless, wights typically haunt burial grounds, catacombs, or other places of the dead. But their hunger is targeted toward the living—those individuals who remind them of the shackles of mortality and whom they feel compelled to "free" to the state of undeath. - - - - - A single wight can wreak a lot of havoc if it is compelled to rise from its tomb. Because creatures slain by wights become wights as well, all it takes is a single wight and a handful of unlucky graveyard visitors to create a veritable horde of these undead. Thus, canny priests and adventurers know that the best solution to a wight problem is swift and total eradication. Care must be taken, though, to destroy wight spawn before attempting to destroy the parent wight, for spawn without a master gain the ability to create spawn of their own. - - - - - Durable and sustained as they are by negative energy, wights can last in harsh environments without decaying the way some lesser undead do.

Will-o'-wisps can vary the color and illumination they shed, and delight in mimicking bobbing lanterns or distant fires to draw lost or disoriented travelers off of safe trails. They can extinguish their illumination entirely to become invisible, and they enjoy doing so once their victims are wholly lost and have realized that the bobbing light in the distance isn't, in fact, leading them to safety. Even invisible, however, a will-o'-wisp rarely ventures far from its target, as it feasts upon the panic and dread felt by its victims. - - - - - Beneath its glow, a will-o'-wisp's body is a spongy ball approximately 1 foot in diameter and weighing less than 5 pounds. Although most will-o'-wisps are merely translucent, featureless orbs, gaining definition only in the shifting illumination they create, a few have dark mottling that makes them resemble a skull when viewed closely. Will-o'-wisps have no need for mundane nourishment, and in fact lack the ability to consume matter of any kind; they find all the sustenance they need in the terror of nearby creatures. For this reason, they like to work alongside undead that produce terror in their victims. Will-o'-wisps are long-lived, if not effectively immortal, and they have good memories. A cowed or defeated will-o'-wisp can be a good source of lore and information, though acquiring such cooperation from such a sinister monster is no easy feat. - - - - - Will-o'-wisps inhabit desolate swamps and forests and are generally active at twilight and after dark. They are therefore reluctant to lead victims into immediately fatal areas such as deadfalls, but instead prefer hazards where their victims suffer over a long time, such as pockets of stale or poisonous air, patches of quicksand, and dens of bigger monsters. According to will-o'-wisps, different types of fear have subtle differences in flavor. The lurking dread in the pit of the stomach that gnaws at those who slowly become aware of the fact that they're lost produces a much different taste than the sudden stark terror of imminent death in the face of a towering monster. Because of this, will-o'-wisps try to vary the ways in which they induce terror in their prey, to ensure they don't tire of certain flavors of fear. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 22 - level: 6 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Small - traits: - - CE - - Small - - Aberration - - Air - senses: - - Perception +16 - - darkvision - languages: - - Aklo - - Common - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 12 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 12 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - perception: 16 - ability_mods: - str_mod: -5 - dex_mod: 6 - con_mod: 0 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 27 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 10 - fort_misc: - ref: 16 - ref_misc: - will: 14 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 50 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - magic - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Glow - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - light - description: 20 feet.

They tend to prefer the driest, warmest regions of the lands they visit—perhaps an indicator of their mysterious home world. This, however, is the only indicator; witchwyrds are notoriously close-mouthed about details of this distant world, and with good reason: most witchwyrds on Golarion have never visited their ancestral home. To these witchwyrds, the notion of a home planet is a constant thorn in their side, and when asked, many choose to ignore the question altogether. Others are so agitated by these queries that they respond with impatience or even violence. Some scholars have theorized a connection between witchwyrds and several other four-armed creatures, but like with questions of their place of origin, witchwyrds have little to say about the topic. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Humanoid__ (__Society__)**: DC 24 - level: 6 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: LN - size: Medium - traits: - - Uncommon - - LN - - Medium - - Humanoid - senses: - - Perception +12 - - darkvision - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - one or more planar languages - - tongues - skills: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Desert Lore ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'one or more Lore skills related to a specific plane ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - perception: 12 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 3 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 1 - int_mod: 4 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - items: - - +1 ranseur - ac: 22 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 13 - fort_misc: - ref: 13 - ref_misc: - will: 15 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 110 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: 5 - type: force - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Absorb Force - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - - arcane - - evocation - - force - description: - raw_description: "**Absorb Force [Reaction]** (__arcane__, __evocation__, __force__) **Frequency** once per round; **Trigger** A __magic missile__ is fired at the witchwyrd, and the witchwyrd is aware of it and has a free hand; **Effect** The witchwyrd \"catches\" the missile, absorbing it and causing that hand to glow while it holds this energy.

It's less common for wood golems to have artistic embellishments such as engraved patterns, or to be carved in the shapes of different types of creatures to meet the tastes of their owners. While wealthy patrons have been known to commission wood golems to be painstakingly carved to resemble themselves or their ancestors, to serve dual purposes of protection and ego bolstering, most wood golem crafters don't bother. Druids and creatures who protect woodlands, such as arboreals, typically see wood golems as an affront or an abomination, akin to the horror humanoids often feel when facing a carrion or flesh golem. As a result, it is rare to see such creatures serving as guardians for fey or druidic holy sites, despite the thematic match between the wood golem's appearance and such locations. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Construct__ (__Arcana__, __Crafting__)**: DC 24 - level: 6 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Medium - traits: - - Uncommon - - N - - Medium - - Construct - - Golem - - Mindless - senses: - - Perception +12 - - darkvision - languages: - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - perception: 12 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: -5 - wis_mod: 0 - cha_mod: -5 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 23 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 15 - fort_misc: - ref: 16 - ref_misc: - will: 12 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 95 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - bleed - - death effects - - disease - - doomed - - drained - - fatigued - - healing - - magic (see Golem Antimagic below) - - mental - - necromancy - - nonlethal attacks - - paralyzed - - poison - - sickened - - unconscious - resistances: - - amount: 5 - type: physical (except adamantine) - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Golem Antimagic - action_cost: None - traits: - description: harmed by fire (4d8, 2d6 from areas or __persistent damage__); healed by plant (area 2d6 HP); __slowed__ by earth - raw_description: '**Golem Antimagic** harmed by fire (4d8, 2d6 from areas or __persistent damage__); healed by plant (area 2d6 HP); __slowed__ by earth' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Vulnerable to Shape Wood - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A wood golem targeted by __shape wood__ takes 2d8 damage per spell level, with a basic Fortitude save against the caster's spell DC.

Their shadowy, incorporeal forms are dotted with burning eyes that reffect their hatred for the living, and shadowy claws are weapon enough to steal the vitality from their enemies. A wraith may be created by foul necromancy, but more often they are the result of a hermitic murderer or mutilator who even in death could not give up their wicked ways. Further complicating the matter is the fact that wraiths multiply by consuming and transforming the living into more of their foul kind—meaning a handful of wraiths left unchecked can easily turn into a horde of darkness. - - - - - Wraiths weigh nothing and are unharmed by most physical attacks. They haunt any place where they can feed on the living, though their vulnerability to sunlight confines them to the shadowy places of the world—places where they can blend in seamlessly with their dark surroundings before silently engulfing their prey. - - - - - Wraiths may form packs with others of their kind in places where death and mayhem are commonplace—countrysides ravaged by war, metropolitan underworlds run by criminal overlords, or sites of fiendish cultic rituals. In these places, the living do well to tread with sunrods and powerful clerics in tow. Ruins, sewers, and abandoned buildings provide sanctuary for wraiths during the day, as the creatures hunt exclusively at night or in dark places. Wraiths are smart enough to take advantage of their incorporeality in combat, so they keep to tortuous caverns or structures with hallways and avoid open areas. - - - - - As they're formed purely of anti-life from the Negative Energy Plane, wraiths pervade that unholy realm. Within nations and civilizations ruled by the undead, wraiths have places of power as assassins and spies. They're among the ruling class in Geb, but have greater numbers in Ustalav, where packs of wraiths roam graveyards and misty trails, consuming the populations of entire villages. In other parts of the world, wraiths tend not to wander and limit their activity to smaller environs, typically just the site of their chosen haunting and its immediate surroundings. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Undead__ (__Religion__)**: DC 22 - level: 6 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Medium - traits: - - LE - - Medium - - Incorporeal - - Undead - - Wraith - senses: - - Perception +14 - - darkvision - - lifesense 60 feet - languages: - - Common - - Necril - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - perception: 14 - ability_mods: - str_mod: -5 - dex_mod: 4 - con_mod: 0 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - - name: Lifesense - action_cost: None - traits: - - divination - - divine - description: Wraiths sense the vital essence of living and undead creatures within the listed range. - raw_description: '**Lifesense** (__divination__, __divine__) Wraiths sense the vital essence of living and undead creatures within the listed range.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 24 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 8 - fort_misc: - ref: 14 - ref_misc: - will: 14 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. positive - hp: 80 - hp_misc: negative healing - immunities: - - death effects - - disease - - paralyzed - - poison - - precision - - unconscious - resistances: - - amount: 5 - type: all (except force - - amount: - type: ghost touch - - amount: - type: or positive - - amount: - type: double resistance vs. non-magical) - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Sunlight Powerlessness - action_cost: None - traits: - description: A wraith caught in sunlight is stunned 2 and clumsy 2. - raw_description: '**Sunlight Powerlessness** A wraith caught in sunlight is stunned 2 and clumsy 2.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - - name: Attack of Opportunity - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: "**Attack of Opportunity** [Reaction] **Trigger** A creature within your reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. **Effect** You lash out at a foe that leaves an opening.

As much as 15 feet long and weighing up to 1,000 pounds, a wyvern's resilient body allows it to crash talons-first into large prey without serious risk to itself. A wyvern uses its momentum to stun its target before injecting it with searing venom or carrying it over the side of a nearby cliff. Because a wyvern lacks the strength to haul its prey all the way to its nest intact, it is far more likely to lift and drop its victim over a gully or canyon and let gravity do its work before it descends to pick apart the carcass. - - - - - Conversation is of little interest to a wyvern, as the creature typically speaks only to taunt its prey, issue territorial claims, or demand tribute. Even so, many wyverns enjoy grim humor and tales of violent acts, particularly if those acts were committed by the storyteller. A wyvern properly appeased with meat, entertainment, and treasure sometimes agrees to provide assistance ranging from giving directions to serving as a mount for a powerful humanoid. However, these arrangements rarely last more than a few weeks before the wyvern's pride, malice, or insolence inspires it to flee or even betray its allies. Only the truly cruel can cow a wyvern into servitude for an extended period, as most wyverns are so self-interested that they go out of their way to avoid helping others. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 22 - level: 6 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Large - traits: - - NE - - Large - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +13 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - - Draconic - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 12 - misc: - perception: 13 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: -2 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 24 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 16 - fort_misc: - ref: 12 - ref_misc: - will: 13 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 95 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - paralyzed - - unconscious - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Attack of Opportunity - action_cost: Reaction - traits: - description: - raw_description: "**Attack of Opportunity** [Reaction] **Trigger** A creature within your reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. **Effect** You lash out at a foe that leaves an opening.

The yellow musk creeper enraptures creatures with its bright yellow pollen to bring them close. It then physically alters their brains with its tendrils, implanting a seed in each to turn the creatures into mindless thralls.

Yeth hounds resemble lean, sleek dogs with overlarge ears and narrow paws that can tread on air as easily as the ground. Despite their canine appearance, yeth hounds are remarkably intelligent, although they rarely display this intelligence except when devising intricate tactics to ensnare their quarry. Their eerie bays echo across the countryside when they are engaged in a hunt, and they particularly enjoy baying to frighten and disorient intelligent creatures. Yeth hound packs can number as many as a dozen members, each working in uncanny communion with its packmates to corner and kill their prey. Yeth hounds like to drag their victims back to their lairs to eat at their leisure, so these lairs often contain discarded treasures from the hounds' previous meals. - - - - - Yeth hounds despise two things: sunlight and other canines. They hunt only at night if they can, often breaking off their hunt at dawn to retreat to a subterranean lair or den, no matter how close they had come to catching their prey. Yeth hounds usually attack __wargs__, __wolves__, and similar creatures on sight, working to drive larger or more powerful canines from their hunting areas when then can't simply overpower and kill them. - - - - - Evil rangers, bestial __demons__, and wicked cults are frequently gifted yeth hound servants by fiendish patrons.

Those folks who live at the foot of a yeti-ruled mountain warn of the "abominable snowmen": monstrous, fur-covered humanoids who leave strange and bloody tracks in the snow. - - - - - Normally yetis seek to protect the world rather than hunt its other civilized denizens. They do so by lairing near eldritch portals that form links between the Material Plane and other, much stranger dimensions of reality. From within these snow-covered arches and ancient stone doorways, aliens, living nightmares, fiends, and worse can emerge through dimensional networks into the world. Yetis who guard these portals sometimes succumb to these horrors and are corrupted, taking on the bloodthirsty urges and horrific behaviors of the very monsters they strive to protect the world against. Yetis who manifest such violent tendencies are driven out of their clan and forced to wander the mountaintops alone, thus giving rise to the myth of the legendary abominable snowman. Forced to fend for themselves, these exiled yetis often fully embrace the corrupting elements that caused their exile in the first place, growing more powerful and more deadly as a result. The most vile of these yetis turn to cannibalism, not out of need, but out of a sheer joy at the terror they inflict upon their kin. Invariably such cannibalistic yetis attract the attention of wendigos, which makes a bad situation all the worse. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Humanoid__ (__Society__)**: DC 22 - level: 5 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - Uncommon - - N - - Large - - Humanoid - senses: - - Perception +15 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - - Aklo - skills: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 12 - misc: +15 in snow - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - perception: 15 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: -1 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: -1 - sense_abilities: - - name: Snowblind - action_cost: None - traits: - description: When Hiding, the yeti is concealed by any snowfall, even if it's not thick enough to make other creatures concealed. - raw_description: "**Snowblind** When Hiding, the yeti is concealed by any snowfall, even if it's not thick enough to make other creatures concealed." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 21 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 15 - fort_misc: - ref: 11 - ref_misc: - will: 13 - will_misc: - misc: +4 status to all saves vs. fear and dreams - hp: 115 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - cold - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: fire - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Nightmare Guardian - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Yetis gain a +4 status bonus to saves against fear and against spells and abilities that affect dreams.

Their brand of evil is organized, manipulative, and regal. Blue dragons often lair near or within cities and set out to bend the population to their will and gather hordes of servants. These dragons love spinning webs of conspiracy. A blue dragon's lackeys typically don't even realize that they serve a dragon, but instead think the protection money, tariffs, or taxes they are amassing is treasure for a cruel but legitimate master. In some ways, blue dragons even see their servants as a living hoard and value them like treasure. These dragons have been known to use these tactics even with their own chromatic cousins. - - - - - Not all blue dragons work clandestinely. Some lord over desert tribes and hill people like vengeful gods, demanding both tribute and worship. No matter how blue dragons manage their underlings, their bearing is regal and their lairs palatial; they're universally intolerant of insubordination, incompetence, and embezzlement, and punish perpetrators with murderous efficiency. - - - - - Blue dragons are also known for their use and mastery of illusion magic. They make use of illusions to augment their manipulations and bewilder their foes in battle. Blue dragons also have some control over water, but use this ability to destroy water, something quite dangerous for those who encounter them in their desert lairs. - - - - - The ideal lair for a blue dragon contains multiple passages, rooms, and secret chambers. As social creatures, blue dragons prefer to host guests in comfort—but their dwellings should not be so public that just anyone can come calling. A force of guards keeps out intruders, and clever illusions conceal the edifice from prying eyes. Rather than a pile of coins or gems, a blue dragon's true hoard is the rich furnishings in its citadel— expensive art, ornate furniture, and architectural marvels. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 26 - level: 9 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Large - traits: - - LE - - Large - - Dragon - - Electricity - senses: - - Perception +18 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - perception: 18 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - - name: Sound Imitation - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The dragon can mimic any sound it has heard.

They particularly enjoy conversations with humans and other civilized humanoids, delighting in the naive customs of these diminutive races without showing them haughtiness or scorn. While they may seem merely curious, brass dragons engage in this sort of conversation with the goal of keeping up to date on regional politics so they can anticipate future conflicts. Along the way, they create extensive information networks that begin with their own allies but stretch across all levels of humanoid society—networks which the brass dragon then uses to subtly assist settlements near their lair. Unlike the schemes and manipulations of blue dragons, brass dragons use their informant networks to establish justice and equality. - - - - - These carefree dragons value independence and feel that all creatures deserve to live as they please, provided they don't harm others. They are emotional creatures and tend to have short attention spans, sometimes falling victim to depression in their twilight years. To combat this, some brass dragons keep pets and houseplants that they can care for. - - - - - Though they may seem childlike in their curiosity concerning mortal affairs, a brass dragon's prowess in battle is no laughing matter. A brass dragon whose territory or allies are threatened is a terrifying foe indeed, quick to shed their innocent guise and unleash their terrifying might upon evildoers. - - - - - Most brass dragons live in desert climates, and while they keep their lairs hidden, they often build near humanoid settlements. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 23 - level: 7 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CG - size: Large - traits: - - CG - - Large - - Dragon - - Fire - senses: - - Perception +15 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - - tremorsense (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Gnomish - - Halfling - - Sylvan - - speak with animals - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - perception: 15 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: 2 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 25 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 16 - fort_misc: - ref: 15 - ref_misc: - will: 14 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 125 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - fire - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 23 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 23 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

They care little for either good or evil. As they are both opinionated and willing to impose their sense of order on others, many brine dragons eventually seek to rule over a meticulously crafted community. These communities are orderly and well-planned, with rigid standards of courtesy and unchanging laws set down by the dragon themself. A settlement seeded by a brine dragon can be made of members of almost any ancestry, but the most common inhabitants are humans, merfolk, tengus, or sahuagin. - - - - - Depending on the dragon's personality, their community members might view their brine dragon ruler as anything from a benevolent force of order to a fearful tyrant. Regardless, the typical brine dragon has little patience for kindness or philanthropy, and the strength and health of their settlement as a whole are of greater concern than individuals' well-being. A notable exception to this dispassion rises when an outside force encroaches on their lands. In these cases, the brine dragon is quick to step in and aid in the defense of their community. - - - - - Although brine dragons enjoy cultivating settlements, they rarely make their lairs within the city limits, instead preferring to dwell in sea caves or cliffside grottoes overlooking the coastline. Here they can retreat for privacy as needed, or can accumulate and display their gathered wealth in a place where they feel safe spreading out their treasures. Brine dragon hoards often consist of a mix of offerings and taxes paid by those they rule over and strange discoveries salvaged from sunken ships. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 26 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Elemental__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 26 - level: 8 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: LN - size: Large - traits: - - Uncommon - - LN - - Large - - Amphibious - - Dragon - - Elemental - - Water - senses: - - Perception +16 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Aquan - - Common - - Draconic - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - perception: 16 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 4 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 27 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 18 - fort_misc: - ref: 16 - ref_misc: - will: 16 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 142 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - acid - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 24 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 24 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

In addition to their collections of esoteric lore, bronze dragons keep treasures associated with the sea, such as beautiful scrimshaw, flawless pearls, and equipment inlaid with mother-of-pearl and abalone shell. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 26 - level: 9 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LG - size: Large - traits: - - LG - - Large - - Amphibious - - Dragon - - Water - senses: - - Perception +18 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Aquan - - Common - - Draconic - - Dwarven - - Elven - - speak with animals - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Occultism ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - perception: 18 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 1 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: 3 - wis_mod: 3 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 28 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 19 - fort_misc: - ref: 17 - ref_misc: - will: 19 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 170 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - electricity - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 26 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 26 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Cloud dragons range in color from light blue to a pale, milky white and have thick, curling horns and rather short snouts. They keep lairs among the extreme altitudes of the highest mountain peaks but are away on their many journeys as often as they're at home. Cloud dragons spend long hours surveying the lands they fly over from great heights, but they are creatures of whim, making it hard to predict what will pique their curiosity and bring them winging down to converse or investigate something on the ground. Cloud dragons seldom perform acts of outright malice, but they are not often charitable either. A cloud dragon is as likely to simply pluck something they desire off the ground and fly away with it as they are to bargain fairly. - - - - - A cloud dragon's ever-changing interests never seem to stray toward the complicated schemes and long-term plans of other dragons. These rovers are creatures of the moment, and although they are as mentally gifted as other true dragons, their interests remain in the here and now. Yet the cloud dragon's penchant for living in the moment is not a personality flaw—they're more than capable of anticipating long-term results of their actions and won't make foolish choices simply to pursue a current interest. At the same time, cloud dragons have little interest in worrying about the future and are as confident in their ability to handle tomorrow's problems as they are today's. - - - - - Cloud dragon hoards tend to be well-guarded or well-hidden, as a natural result of their roving habits often taking them away from their lairs for extended periods. Their treasuries include a wide variety of items—they are driven to gather a broad range of prizes rather than collecting one type of item intensively. To a cloud dragon, a diversified hoard is a perfect hoard. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 29 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Elemental__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 29 - level: 10 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Large - traits: - - Uncommon - - N - - Large - - Air - - Dragon - - Elemental - senses: - - Perception +22 - - darkvision - - mist vision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Auran - - Common - - Draconic - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - perception: 22 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 4 - sense_abilities: - - name: Mist Vision - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Fog and mist don't impair a cloud dragon's vision; they ignore the __concealed__ condition from fog and mist. - raw_description: "**Mist Vision** Fog and mist don't impair a cloud dragon's vision; they ignore the __concealed__ condition from fog and mist." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 30 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 21 - fort_misc: - ref: 18 - ref_misc: - will: 20 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 175 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - electricity - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 26 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 26 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Copper dragons are hedonists who are quick to indulge in simple pleasures, but they're also sympathetic to other creatures, slow to pass judgment, and careful to always examine a situation from as many perspectives as possible. This philosophy has its drawbacks, however, as copper dragons are susceptible to negative influences and prone to forgiving the less serious evil acts performed by their chromatic cousins and other cruel creatures. Copper dragons also have a difficult time keeping their temper in check once they are roused to anger. - - - - - Copper dragons tend to lair in warm or temperate hills, but due to their nature, they move their lairs every few years. They sometimes live among other people, especially any dwarves who reside nearby. Some copper dragons even worship gods typically worshipped only by humanoids. Among these dragons, worship of Cayden Cailean is most popular, as they see his love of freedom and penchant for alcohol aligning with the typical copper dragon mindset. - - - - - A copper dragon's combat tactics are as unorthodox as its sense of humor, as it is more likely to use mockery and tricks than outright strength to win its battles. As a copper dragon ages, it perfects jokes capable of rendering its foes helpless with laughter. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 24 - level: 8 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CG - size: Large - traits: - - CG - - Large - - Dragon - - Earth - senses: - - Perception +16 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Gnomish - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - - name: 'Crafting ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Performance ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - perception: 16 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 2 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 27 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 16 - fort_misc: - ref: 17 - ref_misc: - will: 16 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 150 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - acid - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 23 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 23 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Their beauty is a source of great pride but is also something of a weakness, as crystal dragons are easily angered by insults about their appearance. Despite their relatively benign natures when compared to other true dragons, crystal dragons can be short tempered and prone to finding insults where none were intended. Although their opinions are changeable, crystal dragons prefer orderly environments and are not fond of sudden interruptions or distractions. - - - - - Crystal dragons build their lairs in underground grottoes, where they cultivate environments of great beauty. Their exacting standards and vivid imaginations mean that they are always working to improve the appearance or layout of some part of their lair. These lairs are unique to each individual crystal dragon, but there are always plenty of reflective surfaces that allow the dragon to observe their own appearance. These range from crystals to reflecting pools to finely crafted mirrors, which are arranged throughout the lair in a pleasing array. Gifts of well-crafted or magical mirrors are an excellent way to curry favor with a crystal dragon. - - - - - Although crystal dragons are easily distracted by their sparkling collections or their vanity, they remain good-hearted creatures at the core and make friends quickly. While a crystal dragon tends to find evil creatures uncouth and unpleasant, any other nearby denizen or inhabitant of their home could become fast friends or beloved pets, depending upon the creature's capacity for conversation (and for providing the frequent praise and compliments that crystal dragons hunger for). - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 25 - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Elemental__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 25 - level: 7 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: NG - size: Large - traits: - - Uncommon - - NG - - Large - - Dragon - - Earth - - Elemental - senses: - - Perception +15 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - - tremorsense (imprecise) 30 feet - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Terran - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - perception: 15 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 1 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 4 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 27 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 16 - fort_misc: - ref: 14 - ref_misc: - will: 15 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 105 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 5 - type: sonic - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 25 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 25 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

They command the unwavering reverence of all other metallic dragons, who view gold dragons as their leaders and counselors. Golds rival the raw power of even red dragons, much to the chagrin of their chromatic cousins, and the two races are often regarded as bitter rivals. But despite their incredible power, gold dragons are fond of discourse and prefer to talk through solutions to problems rather than rely upon brute strength. Long-lived as they are, they necessarily take a wide view of all situations and never act without considering all possible options and outcomes. Because of this, gold dragons willingly converse with any creature that seeks them out, even evil chromatic dragons. Mortals might find this behavior strange, considering the longstanding war between chromatic and metallic dragons, but dragons know all too well that desperate situations sometimes call for drastic alliances. And although gold dragons might consider brief truces with their chromatic brethren in the case of world-ending threats, they also know when such alliances have run their course. - - - - - When another metallic dragon faces a quandary or a foe beyond its own ability to overcome, its best option is often to seek the counsel of the eternally wise and gloriously righteous gold dragons. Locating these legendary beings is no easy task, however, for gold dragons are notoriously reclusive. Their intellect and wisdom is such that they prefer to ponder the great questions of life in seclusion, where they strive to formulate solutions to the world's most pressing problems. As a result, gold dragons are sometimes absent when metallic dragons gather together, or are missing from tribunals where their counsel would be beneficial. Impatient dragons sometimes begrudge gold dragons for this apparent unreliability, but such aspersions are usually a result of jealousy rather than any true criticism; in their hearts, other dragons know that few gold dragons purposefully exclude themselves from truly important matters. - - - A gold dragon's incredible foresight and unparalleled enlightenment means they are unlikely to interfere in the business of individual mortals, though the rare person who captures the attention of a gold dragon is fortunate indeed, for there are few beings in the cosmos who can offer such prudent and considerate advice. Rulers and individuals in stations of high power have an easier time of garnering the aid of a gold dragon; entire wars have been avoided thanks to a gold dragon's last-minute intermediation. - - - Gold dragons are often found in warm grasslands and savannas, lands where they can enjoy long, meditative flights without attracting the attention of potential enemies. They tend to sleep either out in the open in a barren, remote place, or within a heavily secreted or fortified lair, such as a forgotten sink hole or in the labyrinthine caverns of a terrestrial chasm. Gold dragons may enlist trusted servants and allies to guard their lairs, though many live truly solitary lives, preferring to protect their hoards with nonlethal traps and magical wards. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 28 - level: 11 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LG - size: Large - traits: - - LG - - Large - - Dragon - - Fire - senses: - - Perception +21 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Elven - - Sylvan - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 23 - misc: - - name: 'Medicine ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - perception: 21 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: 3 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 4 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 32 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 22 - fort_misc: - ref: 20 - ref_misc: - will: 22 - will_misc: - misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic - hp: 230 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - fire - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: cold - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 27 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 27 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

The key to understanding green dragons is to understand their obsession with knowledge and self-discipline. Any careful approach that takes advantage of a green dragon's fixations may end in a diplomatic outcome, but any misstep or slight can provoke a savage attack. Like most chromatic dragons, green dragons do not suffer fools—and the threshold for what they consider foolish is very low. - - - - - Though more open than their chromatic cousins to dealing with other creatures and dragons, green dragons prefer an isolated and quiet life. They tend to lair in the most forbidding parts of a forest, surrounded by tangled thickets, or else at the heart of some dismal gulch. If the terrain is suitable, some green dragons make their home in natural caves, which they expand to suit their needs. - - - - - Green dragons' pride leads them to see to the preservation of their forest homes. They feel that a verdant and lush forest is something that they alone have cultivated. This leads some green dragons to follow the path of druidism, though most prefer to study the arcane arts and occult lore. Most of them delve deeply into one particular field of study, and correspond with other scholars in the field by adopting a pen name that hides their true nature. Regardless of their chosen focus, green dragons seek to improve themselves, and their desire for knowledge makes them more likely to deal diplomatically with other creatures in order to obtain new information. - - - - - Their hoards are typically well kept, organized, and filled with tomes of lore and scrolls of magic along with antiquities they collect for their own inscrutable reasons. Many of these treasures come from across the globe, and many an adventurer has survived an encounter with a green dragon by stroking its ego and plying it with rare artifacts or lost lore from ancient cultures. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 24 - level: 8 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LE - size: Large - traits: - - LE - - Large - - Amphibious - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +16 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 13 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Occultism ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - perception: 16 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 5 - dex_mod: 1 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 4 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 28 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 16 - fort_misc: - ref: 16 - ref_misc: - will: 17 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 135 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - paralyzed - - poison - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 24 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 24 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

With their crowns of crimson spikes and their command of blistering frame, this is no haughty boast in their eyes—only unquestioned fact. - - - - - Red dragons don't deign to speak with lesser creatures; they simply dominate and burn, enslaving weaker creatures to act as servants and to look after their lairs while the dragons slumber away. They take pleasure in dominating these creatures, and they demand tribute from their supplicants. Those who anger or disappoint end up eaten or reduced to ash. They command their enslaved minions to constantly build onto their lairs, carving out new tunnels and designing cunning traps that ensure the dragon's security. - - - - - Driven by their arrogance, red dragons are the most likely of the chromatic dragons to ravage settlements. They want the world to see them in their rightful place as powerful tyrants, and they delight in threatening all other creatures. They have no qualms about bullying, manipulating, or killing to complete their goals—or simply intimidating others through a public display of brutality and dominance. - - - - - As legendary as the brutishness of red dragons is the magnificence of their hoards of gold. Their lairs are often situated in dangerous places, with volcanoes being a favorite spot, as they find them foreboding and the constant warmth is comfortable. No matter the locale, red dragons sleep on a litter of coins and other treasures, which they zealously guard. Sometimes, the dragon's internal heat causes these precious metals to fuse together. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 27 - level: 10 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Large - traits: - - CE - - Large - - Dragon - - Fire - senses: - - Perception +20 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - - smoke vision - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 15 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 19 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 21 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 17 - misc: - perception: 20 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 1 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: 1 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - - name: Smoke Vision - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Smoke doesn't impair a red dragon's vision; it ignores the concealed condition from smoke. - raw_description: "**Smoke Vision** Smoke doesn't impair a red dragon's vision; it ignores the concealed condition from smoke." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 30 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 21 - fort_misc: - ref: 18 - ref_misc: - will: 19 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 210 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - fire - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: cold - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 27 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 27 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Although they typically make their lairs among the highlands, the pursuit of justice leads silver dragons to travel far and wide—often into the very heart of realms overrun by evil. These exemplars of righteousness are ceaseless in their determination to help the weak, spread honor, and stamp out evil. - - - - - Silver dragons are sleek and sinuous. Their hides resemble nothing so much as a suit of gleaming armor, lending further credence to the popular myth that silver dragons are the paladins of dragonkind. The zeal with which they seek out, confront, and defeat evil is unsurpassed even among their metallic cousins, and they adhere to strict codes of honor usually passed down from parent to hatchling. On occasion, they instead learn these codes from trusted mentors, usually other silver dragons or gold dragons. As they age, they become even more dedicated to their codes, often adding new and even more restrictive clauses to the systems that guide their behavior. - - - - - Silver dragons are incredibly altruistic and regularly consort with the citizens of goodly societies, of which they consider themselves protectors and guides. In addition to responding to evil threats, silver dragons work to prevent evil from taking root in the first place, and they ensure mortals under their care are well fed, educated, and treated with dignity. Although silver dragons can seem overzealous or even eager to join the fight against evil, they know that the best way to rid the world of corruption is to stamp out strife and disillusionment at their source, not to passively sit back and watch it grow into an unsolvable problem. Silver dragons can be vindictive, but they can also be forgiving; for evildoers who seek to atone for their sins and turn over a new leaf, the support of a silver dragon is both unwavering and invaluable. - - - - - Many silver dragons are also drawn to religious endeavors, venerating deities such as Iomedae, Sarenrae, and other deities concerned with justice, virtue, and redemption. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 27 - level: 10 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: LG - size: Large - traits: - - LG - - Large - - Cold - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +20 - - darkvision - - fog vision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Aquan - - Common - - Draconic - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Diplomacy ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Medicine ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Religion ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Society ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - perception: 20 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: 2 - wis_mod: 4 - cha_mod: 4 - sense_abilities: - - name: Fog Vision - action_cost: None - traits: - description: The silver dragon ignores the concealed condition from fog and clouds. - raw_description: '**Fog Vision** The silver dragon ignores the concealed condition from fog and clouds.' - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 31 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 20 - fort_misc: - ref: 17 - ref_misc: - will: 21 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 200 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - cold - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 10 - type: fire - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 28 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 28 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Their sleek black scales and serpentine grace allow them to strike from hiding, and they are known for playing with their prey before finally finishing it. These creatures of shadowy energy and unwholesome appetites prefer the necrotic flesh of undead creatures to any other meal. This strange hunger can be of accidental benefit to nearby humanoid societies, but ultimately they hunt and kill undead creatures for the taste, rather than out of any desire to protect others from the undead. The benefit is always short-lived, however. When umbral dragons exhaust their preferred prey, they turn on whatever living creatures happen to be nearby. Umbral dragons sometimes go to great lengths to obtain their favorite meals, even creating undead creatures that they then feast upon. - - - - - For all their power, umbral dragons are uninterested in fair battles. When faced with foes that pose any kind of actual danger to them, umbral dragons flee into the shadows and seek to strike back through pawns or minions rather than risk their own lives. Their treasure hoards are varied and diverse, often augmented by loot stolen from crypts the dragons have turned into feeding grounds. They have a strong respect for and interest in traditions and heirlooms, and they often seek to augment their hoards with items of great value that have been handed down through the generations of those whose corpses and ghosts they've fed upon. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 30 - level: 11 - rarity: Uncommon - type: Creature - alignment: NE - size: Large - traits: - - Uncommon - - NE - - Large - - Dragon - - Shadow - senses: - - Perception +22 - - greater darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - languages: - - Common - - Draconic - - Shadowtongue - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 18 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - - name: 'Nature ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 20 - misc: - - name: 'Survival ' - bonus: 22 - misc: - perception: 22 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 7 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 5 - int_mod: 3 - wis_mod: 5 - cha_mod: 3 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 31 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 22 - fort_misc: - ref: 20 - ref_misc: - will: 22 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 195 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - negative - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 26 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 26 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Nearly all other dragons look down on white dragons as hopelessly hotheaded and dull, though this does not make them any less dangerous—in fact, it may mean the opposite. It's nearly impossible to treat with white dragons, not because they lack the capacity to do so, but because they just don't care to. They are as difficult to deal with as they are quick to anger, and they become incensed at almost anything. When a white dragon does speak, it spews threats, inane jokes, and incoherent babbling as a prelude to attacking—and when the attack comes, it's bloody and relentless. - - - - - Thankfully, white dragons prefer very cold, remote locations that are far from people. Dwelling on glacial mountaintops or in ice caverns beneath forbidding tundra, they treat the lands around them as their own personal hunting grounds. They fly out to feed or terrorize other creatures, especially those who trespass near the dragon's territory, then bring any treasure back to be displayed in icy niches in their lairs. They collect all kinds of valuables, with a slight preference for items with high utility—such as tools, trade goods, and fine food—over coins or jewels. The ability to shape ice lets white dragons rearrange their lairs exactly to their specifications, and they take great pride in how they've decorated their homes over the years. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 22 - level: 6 - rarity: Common - type: Creature - alignment: CE - size: Large - traits: - - CE - - Large - - Cold - - Dragon - senses: - - Perception +13 - - darkvision - - scent (imprecise) 60 feet - - snow vision - languages: - - Draconic - skills: - - name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 10 - misc: - - name: 'Arcana ' - bonus: 7 - misc: - - name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 16 - misc: - - name: 'Intimidation ' - bonus: 12 - misc: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 14 - misc: - perception: 13 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 6 - dex_mod: 2 - con_mod: 4 - int_mod: -1 - wis_mod: 1 - cha_mod: 0 - sense_abilities: - - name: Snow Vision - action_cost: None - traits: - description: Snow doesn't impair a white dragon's vision; it ignores concealment from snowfall. - raw_description: "**Snow Vision** Snow doesn't impair a white dragon's vision; it ignores concealment from snowfall." - generic_description: - frequency: - trigger: - effect: - requirements: - range: - effects: - critical_success: - success: - failure: - critical_failure: - full_description: - items: - ac: 23 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 16 - fort_misc: - ref: 14 - ref_misc: - will: 11 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 115 - hp_misc: - immunities: - - cold - - paralyzed - - sleep - resistances: - - amount: 5 - type: fire - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Frightful Presence - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - emotion - - fear - - mental - description: 90 feet, DC 20 - raw_description: >- - **Frightful Presence** 90 feet, DC 20 A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Although zaramuuns insist they are only reclaiming what was taken from their ancestral earth, this is simple self-delusion; most zaramuuns use their stolen goods as payment and material components to conjure fiends, for Zaramuuns were exiled from the Plane of Earth after worshipping fiends who promised to give them power over other elementals.

A zuipnyrn's body is particularly soft and malleable, allowing it to withstand falls and other hazards. Its eye stalk has the ability to produce a blinding burst of light as a defensive measure, which allows a zuipnyrn just enough time to escape in times of danger. Even more incredibly, a zuipnyrn can emit a hypnotic aura from its eye to entrance those around it—an ability it uses to avoid conflict and to persuade bystanders into helping it escape perilous situations. As they age and grow, zuipnyrns adapt to their environment by growing additional limbs, sprouting additional sensory organs, developing gills, or otherwise altering their anatomy to suit the area. - - - - - **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 23 - level: 3 - rarity: Rare - type: Creature - alignment: N - size: Small - traits: - - Rare - - N - - Small - - Aberration - senses: - - Perception +9 - - greater darkvision - languages: - - Common - - (can't speak any language) - skills: - - name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 11 - misc: - perception: 9 - ability_mods: - str_mod: 1 - dex_mod: 3 - con_mod: 3 - int_mod: -2 - wis_mod: 2 - cha_mod: 5 - sense_abilities: - items: - ac: 20 - ac_special: - saves: - fort: 10 - fort_misc: - ref: 10 - ref_misc: - will: 7 - will_misc: - misc: - hp: 35 - hp_misc: - immunities: - resistances: - - amount: 3 - type: bludgeoning - weaknesses: - automatic_abilities: - - name: Alluring Aspect - action_cost: None - traits: - - aura - - occult - - visual - description: 30 feet.
