Monster: Tsochar

The tsochar are a new aberration that was first introduced in Lords of Madness for D&D 3.5 and dedicated a whole chapter. In short, they are alien invaders obsessed with accumulation of magic items. They are collective creatures made up of several strands. They possess telepathy and parasitic possession.
