Monster: Obyriths

Monster: Obyriths

Obyriths are demons that were ruling the Abyss before the tanar'ri have appeared. Nowadays, they are quite rare, and they all look unsettlingly terrifying. And with this post, I'm done with non-aspect monsters from the Fiendish Condex I: Hordes of the Abyss!

Typical Stats

ST:	10	HP:	10	Speed:	8
DX:	12	Will:	10	Move:	10 ground, 5 climbing, 16 air
IQ:	10	Per:	10
HT:	12	FP:	12	SM:	+0
Dodge:	12	Parry:	N/A	DR:	5 (vs. acid, cold, electricity, fire)

    Sharp Teeth (15): thrust 1d-2 cutting, Reach C.
    Stinger (15): thrust 1d piercing, Reach C. Cannot parry.
    Implant: An ekolid that deals injury with a stinger attack can inject an egg into the opponent’s body. The affected creature must make a successful HT-3 roll to avoid implantation. The egg gestates for five seconds, then the host takes 1d toxic damage, as the egg hatches, and a grub erupts. Once the host loses 1/2 of their HP to this damage, 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 egg can be removed with a successful Surgery roll (failure deals 1d-2 injury), or a Cure Disease spell cast at a -3 penalty.
    Form of Madness: Obyriths appear in forms so noxious and horrific that those within 20 yards of an obyrith are subject to madness regardless of whether they can see or hear it. Each such creature must roll a Fright Check at a -7 penalty using the Confusion table (GURPS Powers, p. 85). If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by the obyrith’s form of madness for one hour. This ability cannot affect chaotic evil outsiders, and cannot be turned off.

Knowing Your Own Strength [562] Replace ST+8 (No Fine Manipulators, -40%; Size Modifier, -20%) [32] with ST+8 [80] Replace HP+10 (Size Modifier, -20%) [16] with HP+10 [20]

Typical Stats

ST:	18	HP:	28	Speed:	4.5
DX:	6	Will:	14	Move:	4 air
IQ:	14	Per:	12
HT:	12	FP:	12	SM:	+2
Dodge:	7	Parry:	N/A	DR:	4* (tough skin), 5 (vs. acid, cold, electricity, fire)

    Sharp Teeth (6): thrust 1d+1 cutting (KYOS: 2d+1 cutting), Reach C.
    Form of Madness: Obyriths appear in forms so noxious and horrific that those within 20 yards of an obyrith are subject to madness regardless of whether they can see or hear it. Each such creature must roll a Fright Check at a -7 penalty using the Confusion table (GURPS Powers, p. 85). If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by the obyrith’s form of madness for one hour. This ability cannot affect chaotic evil outsiders, and cannot be turned off.
    Squirt Bile (12): 2d corrosion, costs 1 FP, takes 5 seconds to recharge. Range 5/10, maximum width 1 yard. If any damage penetrates the target’s DR, he must make a HT roll, at -1 per 2 points of injury, or become nauseated for (20-HT) minutes (minimum 1 minute).
    Animate Chains (12): The sibriex can animate any chain within 10 yards of it. It can animate up to 8 yards of chain, assuming the chain weighs 2 lbs. per yard. 8 yards of chain have 20 HP. An animated chain can grab, lift, strike, and throw with ST equal to its HP/2. It has the sibriex’s DX. It can walk and jump if it isn’t fixed in place; Move equals 10–HP/2. The sibriex can use skills through animated chains (including Kusari to make swinging attacks) – but note that chains have No Fine Manipulators. Chains return to their rest state once the sibriex gives up control.
    Instant Graft (14): A sibriex can form a fiendish graft out of abyssal chaos and instantly attach it to a living creature. This requires the sibriex to win in a Quick Contest of Will against the subject’s HT and spend 1 character point. The subject typically does not resist. The graft in question must be worth 20 points or less, and it is advisable that the recipient purchases it with his own unspent character points, possibly going into a point debt and/or adding additional limitations.

Knowing Your Own Strength [659] Replace ST+2 (Size Modifier, -10%) [18] with ST+2 [20]

Typical Stats

ST:	12	HP:	12	Speed:	6
DX:	11	Will:	10	Move:	4 ground, 6 water
IQ:	7	Per:	10
HT:	13	FP:	13	SM:	+1
Dodge:	9	Parry:	N/A	DR:	2* (tough skin), 5 (vs. acid, cold, electricity, fire)

    Tentacle Grapple (31): The tentacles are not very strong, but the laghathti has many of them. Wrestling at DX+2 gives the laghathti a ST score of 14 for the purpose of grappling. The laghathti has Constriction Attack. Effective skill 31 includes a +18 bonus for using 12 tentacles at once (it needs at least two tentacles to prop itself up), Reach C-1. The tentacles give +4 with tasks that require a firm grip (including climbing).
    Maws (13): Two of the tentacles end with maws. They deal 1d cutting (KYOS: 1d+1 cutting) damage, Reach C-1. The laghathti can either nip and let go or hold on and grapple the victim in addition to injuring him. Either is an attack that takes full hit location penalties – not halved for grappling. Treat this attack as a bite for these purposes (see Teeth on page 115 of GURPS Martial Arts for details).
    Form of Madness: Obyriths appear in forms so noxious and horrific that those within 20 yards of an obyrith are subject to madness regardless of whether they can see or hear it. Each such creature must roll a Fright Check at a -7 penalty using the Confusion table (GURPS Powers, p. 85). If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by the obyrith’s form of madness for one hour. This ability cannot affect chaotic evil outsiders, and cannot be turned off.
