Mhar, an ancient evil deity of caverns, mountains, and volcanoes, belongs to the pantheon of the Great Old Ones-monstrous beings of alien intellect and unfathomable power. The so-called children of Mhar (known as deghuuns in the chaotic tongues of Mhar's enraptured cultists) physically resemble blue-gray octopods made of stone, mud, and molten iron. Venthole-like craters dot the surface of a deghuun's body, through which the creature can gaze out with a single golden eye that it can move from cr

Abilities
Greater Darkvision — A creature with greater darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. A creature with greater darkvision can see through even forms of magical darkness.
Telepathy 100 feet (aura, magical) — A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would.
Smoke Vision — The deghuun ignores the Concealed condition from smoke or smog, including from Sulfurous Plume.
Unfathomable Aspect — Anytime a deghuun attempts a Will save against an enchantment spell, the spell's caster must attempt a DC 38 Will save or become Confused for up to the spell's duration.
Beak Crunch —
Sulfurous Plume (fire, poison) — The deghuun vents caustic smog for 1d4 rounds.
Any creature that ends its turn within 30 feet of the deghuun during this time takes 6d6 fire damage and is Sickened 1 (DC 38 Fortitude; the creature avoids the sickened condition on a critical success, or is Sickened 2 on a critical failure).
While sickened in this way, a creature takes a -2 status penalty to its saving throw against the deghuun's Hallucination.
Any creature that's in the smog is Concealed and treats other creatures as concealed. Strong winds dissipate the smog.
