Augur
Creature 1 — fiend, unholy, velstrac
SnareFlankerLANDAERIALfiendunholy
These spherical knots of sinewy muscle, serrated blades, and bloody metal are the most common velstracs on the Netherworld. Each augur has only a single eye, from which they can witness the horrors inflicted by other velstracs, who train the augur to expect and appreciate pain. Augurs are 1 foot in diameter and weigh 30 pounds. The shadow-dwelling fiends known as velstracs all share a horrifying preoccupation with the search for ultimate sensation through self-mutilation.

Abilities
Painsight (divine) — A velstrac automatically knows whether a creature it sees has any of the Doomed, Dying, and Wounded conditions as well as the value of those conditions.
Regeneration 2 (Deactivated by Holy or Silver) — This monster regains the listed number of Hit Points each round at the beginning of its turn. Its Dying condition never increases beyond Dying 3 as long as its regeneration is active. However, if it takes damage of a type listed in the regeneration entry, its regeneration deactivates until the end of its next turn. Deactivate the regeneration before applying any damage of a listed type, since that damage might kill the monster by bringing it to Dying 4.
Feel the Blades (aura, divine, fear, mental, visual) — 30 feet. When a creature ends its turn in the aura, it feels the sharp barbs of the augur's blades on its skin. The creature must succeed at a DC 17 Will save or become Frightened 1 (Frightened 2 on a critical failure).
Focus Gaze (concentrate, divine, fear, mental, visual) — The augur stares at a creature they can see within 30 feet. The target must immediately attempt a Will save against feel the blades. After attempting this save, the creature is then temporarily immune to Focus Gaze until the start of the augur's next turn.
Whilring Slice — The augur Flies or Strides, whirling as they move. The augur deals the damage of their blade Strike to each creature whose space they enter (DC 16 Reflex save). Each creature is affected only once, even if the augur moves through its space multiple times.
