AnvilWeaverAERIALfungus
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 —
WORKS WELL WITH
SniperAERIALA sniper fires safely from beyond the anvil's enormous reach while Improved Grab and Reel In deny enemies the mobility to close on the ranged partner.
WeaverAERIALA weaver layers additional control and area denial on targets already grabbed and clustered within the anvil's reach, creating a no-escape kill zone.
CrasherAERIALA crasher's forced movement shoves scattered enemies back into the anvil's thirty-foot threat range, feeding fresh targets to the tentacles.
