Cloaker

Creature 5 — aberration

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Weird and paranoid creatures that dwell in the Darklands, cloakers resemble hideous, flying manta rays. Crafty and careful hunters, their motivations, their patterns of attack, and even their societies and history are often an inscrutable jumble of contradicting reports, confused rumors, and terrifying accounts. Like many of the stranger creatures of Golarion, cloakers were originally created by the alghollthus, who bred them to spy on their Azlanti thralls. Upon the fall of the Azlanti empire,

Abilities

Shadow Shift — Cloakers are Concealed in dim light even to creatures with Low-Light Vision and Darkvision.
Envelop (attack, incapacitation) — The cloaker makes an attack roll with a Envelop{+14} bonus against an adjacent creature's Reflex DC. If it succeeds, it envelops the target, who is Restrained. Attacks that hit an enveloping cloaker deal half their damage to the cloaker and half to the trapped victim. The cloaker can't Fly, and when it moves using its land Speed it moves the enveloped creature with it. The cloaker can make only jaws Strikes against the restrained creature but can make tail Strikes against other creatures. A creature that voluntarily puts on the cloaker becomes engulfed automatically. A cloaker can engulf only Large or smaller creatures, and no more than one creature at a time.
Infrasonic Moan (auditory, emotion, mental) — The cloaker lets out an infrasonic moan that has one of the effects below. A creature that succeeds at a Will save is unaffected. Any creature that attempts this save becomes temporarily immune for 1 hour. Because the moan is infrasonic, most humanoids don't detect the source of their plight if they aren't already aware of the cloaker. Fear (fear, incapacitation) DC 22 Will Each creature within a 30-foot emanation becomes Frightened 1 (or, on a critical failure, Frightened 2 and Fleeing until the end of its next turn). Nausea DC 22 Will Each creature within a 30-foot emanation falls Prone and become Sickened 2. Stupor DC 22 Will The cloaker targets a single creature within 30 feet. The creature becomes Clumsy 1 and Stupefied 1 for 1 minute.
