Monsters: Obyriths II

Monsters: Obyriths II

More obyriths! And that's the last of them, unless there's some new ones in 4e or 5e.

    Flesh Hooks (16): thrust 1d-1 cutting (KYOS: 1d cutting), Reach C. When a draudnu hits an enemy with a flesh hook, it can detach the end of that hook, fastening the enemy to a wall or a floor as per Binding 12 (p. B40). The draudnu’s hook immediately regrows.
    Acid Blood: A draudu seeps acid if he suffers any cutting, impaling, or piercing injury. It bleeds on the weapon that wounded it – or its foe, if attacked with Claws, Teeth, etc. Until it stops bleeding (see Bleeding, p. B420), the acidic blood drips on everything nearby. This works like any other Aura, and the demon can deliberately attack others by flicking its blood around. Blood deals 1d-1 corrosion damage.
    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.

    Traits: Ambidextrous; Anarchic Touch; Appearance (Horrific; Universal); Bloodlust (9); Doesn’t Eat or Drink; Extra Arm 1; Extra Attack 1; Extra Legs (Three Legs); Immunity to Mind Control; Immunity to Noxious Acidic Effects; Immunity to Poison; Infravision; Injury Tolerance (No Neck); Internal Sealed (Acid-Resistant Only); Intolerance (Non-obyriths); Low Empathy; Magic Resistance 1 (Improved); No Fine Manipulators; No Sense of Humor; Perfect Balance; Regeneration (Fast); Sealed (Acid-Resistant Only); Social Stigma (Mosnter); Super Jump 1; Telesend (Magical; Universal); Unaging; Unholy Touch; Vulnerability (Axiomatic Weapons, x2); Vulnerability (Cold Iron, x2).

    Talons (16): thrust 4d cutting or impaling (KYOS: 5d-1 cutting or impaling), Reach C-2
    Acidic Tail: thrust 5d+1 crushing (KYOS: 6d+1 crushing) + follow-up 1d corrosion, Reach C-2. Cannot parry.
    Dimensional Reach: A golothoma can project a talon to a distant location through an extra dimension. The talon can be used to grapple, strike, provided the weight of anything picked up doesn’t exceed 2xBL. The golothoma can even pull objects back through the extra dimension! In combat, this lets it attack a foe from behind. If working at a distance, apply the appropriate range modifier. The golothoma can place its talons in locations it can’t see, but at ‑5 to skill rolls for working by touch or ‑6 to attack rolls.
    Ravenous Shadow: A golothoma has no mouth. It feeds by absorbing flesh through its writhing shadow. Any creature within 2 yards of it is attacked by its shadow every second with an effective skill 12 modified for target size only. It the attack hits, the target takes 1d-1 toxic damage, ignoring DR. A golothoma’s shadow exists despite the surrounding lighting.
    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.

    Tentacles (12): thrust 2d+2 crushing (KYOS: 1d-2 crushing), Reach C. Tentacles have an effective ST of 23 (KYOS: 10).
    Energy Drain: While grappling with the face tentacles, the uzollru can drain 3 HP per second from the victim, while healing 1 HP per each stolen HP.
    Pincers (12): thrust 12d+2 cutting (KYOS: 9d+1 cutting), Reach C-10. The uzollru 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). The pincers give +2 with tasks that require a firm grip (including climbing).
    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.
    Stunning Gaze (12): An uzollru’s stunning gaze spreads out in a cone 15 yards long and 15 yards wide at the end. It can select who is affected; potential victims must be looking at it. For every target, there is a Quick Contest between the uzollru’s Will (minus a range penalty taken from the Speed/Range Table) and each target’s Will. If the uzollru wins, the target is mentally stunned and can roll against Will to recover normally on the next turn. Someone looking at a reflection of an uzollru is not affected by its gaze. Fighting while looking in a mirror is at a -5 penalty; attacks made with closed eyes are at -10.

    Traits: Amphibious (Accessibility, Only skill penalties); Anarchic Touch; Appearance (Horrific; Universal); Bad Temper (12); Bloodlust (12); Callous; Doesn’t Breathe (Gills); Doesn’t Eat or Drink; Double-Jointed; Extra-Flexible Arms; Gluttony (9); Horizontal; Immunity to Mind Control; Immunity to Noxious Cold Effects; Immunity to Poison; Infravision; Injury Tolerance (No Neck); Magic Resistance 3 (Improved); Nictitating Membrane 4; No Legs (Semi-Aquatic); No Mouth; Odious Racial Habit (Eats sapient beings); Regeneration (Fast); See Invisible (Magical; Magical; True Sight); Short Arms; Social Stigma (Monster); Telesend (Magical; Universal); Unaging; Unholy Touch; Vulnerability (Axiomatic Weapons, x2); Vulnerability (Cold Iron, x2); Weak Arms (1/4 ST).
    Skills: Brawling-12; Innate Attack (Gaze)-12; Survival (Open Ocean)-14.
    Creature Type: Outsider (Chaotic, Evil, Obyrith).
