Drakauthix

Creature 9 — fungus

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

The drakauthix is a massive fungus that floats through the heights of the largest Darklands caverns, propelled by bladders that spray air and spores. A voracious but slow-moving hunter, the drakauthix prefers to ambush meaty creatures from above, using its hooked appendages to pull its victims upward to feed. The drakauthix's digestive process is entirely external-it clings to victims, and its spore-laden surface slowly feeds on and grows through the flesh before the spore-infested carcass is di

Abilities

Sporesight (Imprecise) 60 feet — The drakauthix exudes a cloud of spores that it uses to see. This is an imprecise sense that functions only in areas without strong wind currents. Sporesight does not function underwater.
Obscuring Spores — Whenever the drakauthix takes at least 10 slashing damage, it releases a cloud of brown spores that has the effect of Mist for 1 minute, centered around the drakauthix. This cloud of spores does not move with the drakauthix, nor is it displaced by its movement.
Reel In — The drakauthix pulls all creatures it has Grabbed 15 feet closer to itself.
Spore Tendrils — The tendrils that cover the drakauthix's body reach out and infest adjacent creatures, dealing 4d6 poison damage and 1d6 persistent poison damage. A creature can attempt a DC 27 Reflex save to reduce this damage, but one Grabbed by the drakauthix takes a -4 circumstance penalty to this save.
Whirlwind of Hooks — The drakauthix whirls, whipping creatures around it. The drakauthix makes a tentacle Strike against every creature within its reach.
Improved Grab — Improved Grab
