Akhana
Creature 12 — aeon, monitor
FlankerAnvilAERIALaeonmonitorvoid
Akhanas are massive eyes formed of cosmic matter that monitor the balance of birth and death. They understand the profound influence living things have on the cosmos and silently perform their duties of supporting and pruning life. Akhanas seem utterly unconcerned by the fate of souls after death, often leaving undead in their wake or attracting daemon scavengers. Psychopomps often despair over akhanas' cryptic actions, forced to clear out sudden backlogs of souls or even battle the aeons direct

Abilities
Envisioning (aura, divine, mental) — 100 feet
An akhana can communicate mentally with any creatures in the aura using wordless psychic projections. They don't need to share a language, though the aeon's meaning to non-aeons can be vague and is often mysterious. An aeon can use this ability to communicate flawlessly with any other aeon on the same plane as itself.

Lifesense 120 feet — Lifesense allows a monster to sense the vital essence of living and undead creatures within the listed range. The sense can distinguish between the vitality energy animating living creatures and the void energy animating undead creatures, much as sight distinguishes colors.
At-Will Spells — The monster can cast its at-will spells any number of times without using up spell slots.
+1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic —
Balance Life (divine) —
Flying Fists — The akhana Flies and makes up to four fist Strikes against different targets at any points during this movement. The attacks count toward its multiple attack penalty normally, but the penalty does not increase until after Flying Fists is complete.
Reclaim Life (divine, void) —
Sprout Life (concentrate, divine, plant, vitality) — A 5-foot burst within 100 feet fills with simple life appropriate to the environment. The newly forged animals bite those in the area for 7d6 piercing damage with a DC 32 Reflex save. The akhana can also have fungus or plants choke the area, even floating ones in the sky, creating difficult terrain. The created life lives or dies normally after its creation.
Grab —

PUNISHES
✖ melee-only parties✖ spread-out positioning✖ low Fortitude
Has no land speed and is airspace-locked; stacking another Flanker splits attacks across too many targets to focus any one down.
