Monster: Lugribossk (Ilsensine's Proxy)

Monster: Lugribossk (Ilsensine's Proxy)

At first I wanted to omit this creature, because this is not a separate illithid species, but an unique being. I am not very good at reading AD&D statblocks, so I was mostly guided by the description. In its normal form, Lugribossk is an ulitharid with an ability to exude corrosive slime. In combat, it turns into a 30-foot-tall glowing giant with sharp claws, able to tear apart enemies both physically and mentally. Maybe, if Lugribossk is slain, Ilsensine will create a replacement - hence the racial template provided here.

    Punch (18): thrust 1d+2 crushing (KYOS: 2d+1 crushing), Reach C-1.
    Corrosive Slime: Lugribossk can exude a coating of corrosive slime that deals 2d corrosion damage to everything that touches it.
    Tentacles (18): Lugribossk has four short tentacles that encircle its mouth and additional two long tentacles. The short tentacles are treated as four short arms with Reach C and effective ST of 8. The mind flayer can use tentacles to attack for 1d-3 crushing damage (KYOS: 1d-4 crushing damage), but usually uses the tentacles for grappling and manipulating objects. The tentacles are considered to be “off-hands” for the purpose of penalties, but not for the purpose of determining the arc of attack.
    Each long tentacle have full ST. Add +2 per die to swinging damage dealt with weapons wielded by the long tentacles. Each long tentacle deals 1d+2 crushing (KYOS: 2d+1 crushing) damage, and has Reach C-2.
    Growth: When agitated or enraged, Lugribossk can grow in size, increasing its SM to +4 and gaining a +40 bonus to ST (KYOS: +32 bonus to ST). This changes takes 1 second. Nails on its four-fingered hands and two-toed feet grow to menacing black claws. In addition, its eyes glow like beacon-fires, and its mauve skin leaves a suggestive trail of purple radiance in the air to mark its passage. Its stride becomes long, and it gains Enhanced Move 1 (Ground). This changes its attacks as follows:
    - Punch becomes Sharp Claws, dealing 7d+1 cutting (KYOS: 12d+2 cutting), Reach C-3.
    - Short tentacles have ST 28 (KYOS: ST 24) dealing 3d+1 crushing (KYOS: 5d-1 crushing), Reach C.
    - Long tentacles deal 7d+1 crushing (KYOS: 12d+2 crushing), Reach C-7.
