Grothlut
Creature 3 — aberration, mindless
CrasherAnvilLANDaberration
Sluglike abominations, grothluts are grotesque dregs of the fleshwarping process. While their head and torso are vaguely humanoid, their arms are rubbery and move awkwardly at their sides. Wretched creatures, they moan piteously when other creatures are near, perhaps as the last remnants of their mind pleads to be free from their horrid warped form. Many fleshwarpers consider the grothlut to be a failure of a creation, as the transformation all but stamps out consciousness. Others disagree, arg

Abilities
Disgusting Demise (acid, poison) — When the grothlut is reduced to 0 Hit Points, its digestive organs rupture, unleashing alchemical acid and poison upon all creatures in a 30-foot emanation. Each creature in the area must succeed at a DC 19 Fortitude save or take 2d6 acid damage and become Sickened 1 (double damage and Sickened 2 on a critical failure).
Piteous Moan (auditory, aura, concentrate, emotion, mental, occult) — 60 feet.
Each nongrothlut creature that enters or starts its turn within the area must succeed at a DC 17 Will saving throw or become Sickened 1 (Sickened 2 on a critical failure). The creature then becomes temporarily immune for 1 minute.
The grothlut can Dismiss this aura.
A grothlut usually does not begin moaning until it senses the presence of a non-grothlut creature, and it usually stops once it doesn't sense any more such creatures.
