D'ziriak

Creature 3 — aberration, shadow

These strange creatures are native to the Netherworld, where their colorful nature is in opposition to that realm's overwhelmingly monochromatic palette. Averaging 7 feet in height, d'ziriaks have four arms, two legs, and a termite-like abdomen. The larger pair of arms, used for most tasks, have five-fingered hands with sharp, insectile claws. The smaller pair of arms are reserved for fine manipulations and are not effective in combat. D'ziriaks' otherwise-dull brown carapaces are decorated wit

Abilities

Telepathy 100 feet (aura, magical, mental) — Telepathy
Glow (aura, light) — 20 feet. The colorful runes that decorate a d'ziriak's body create dim light. The natural bioluminescence is specially adapted to the Netherworld, able to overcome magical darkness as if it were magical light with a rank equal to half the d'ziriak's level rounded up.
Dazzling Burst (light, visual) — Dazzling Burst 2 (light, visual) The d'ziriak causes their body to flare with intense colorful light. Non-d'ziriaks in a 20-foot type:emanation must attempt a DC 20 Fortitude save. After using this ability, the d'ziriak loses their glow for 24 hours; during this time they can't use Dazzling Burst again. A creature that attempts this save is immune to all Dazzling Bursts for 1 minute. **Critical Success** The creature is unaffected. **Success** The creature is Dazzled for 1 round. **Failure** The creature is dazzled for 1 minute. **Critical Failure** The creature is Blinded for 1 round and dazzled for 1 minute.
Double Claw — Frequency once per round Effect The d'ziriak makes two claw Strikes. If both hit the same creature, combine their damage for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses. This counts as two attacks for the d'ziriak's multiple attack penalty, and the penalty doesn't increase until after both attacks.
