Monster: Phaerimm
Phaerimms are sadistic underground aberrations with innate magical abilities. They used to be very powerful on Faerun until some other mages imprisoned them in the Underdark. Even those who managed to escape imprisonment accomplished such great feats as enslaving beholder cities. Cool.

paralysis for margin of failure hours, then physical stun; paralyzed creatures
levitate, helpless, a few feet off the ground; this is a magical poison), Reach
C-1. Cannot parry.
Implant: Phaerimms
lay their eggs inside paralyzed creatures. The eggs gestate for 90 days, then
the host takes 2d toxic damage each hour for 13 cycles. This damage cannot be
resisted. Once the host loses 1/2 of their HP to this effect, they begin
experiencing terrible pain (p. B428) until they heal above that threshold. Once
the host loses 2/3 of their HP to this effect, they begin experiencing agony
(p. B428) until they heal above that threshold. The eggs can be removed with a
successful Surgery roll (failure deals 1d-1 injury), or a Cure Disease spell cast at a -5 penalty. If the
host dies to this effect, the young emerges, literally devouring the host from
inside.
Arcane Sight (13): This innate ability lets the phaerimm determine whether the subject (person, object, or area) is under the effects of magic. Roll against the phaerimm’s IQ minus range penalties (p. B550) to the subject, which the creature must be able to see. If the phaerimm is familiar with the spells in question, this will reveal them. Otherwise, use the margin of success to determine how much information to give the creature. This ability is constantly active.
Innate Spellcasting: Only fire, gate, illusion and creation, and mind control spells. Improvisation up to 4 points, hardcore improvisation up to 45 points.
