Creature 3 (uncommon) — beast
SnareSniperLANDVERTICALbeastpsychic
Most complex organisms, whether plant or animal, produce energy by converting fuel (such as food) into heat. Though this process is invaluable, it's also a vulnerability—one that the immolis has evolved to exploit. Immolises are psychic predators found all across Castrovel, especially underground and in cool environs. Mostly blind, they hunt by sensing the body heat of other creatures.

Abilities
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.
Heatsense 120 feet — An immolis can sense creatures whose bodies are hotter than their surroundings as a precise sense at the listed range. Creatures that produce no heat—such as many undead or constructs—are Concealed to an immolis, as are creatures who successfully mask their body heat (such as by submerging themselves in cold water).
Heat Beam (fire, occult) — The immolis targets a living creature within 30 feet and directs a beam of volatile psychic energy toward it, increasing the rate at which the creature's body produces heat. The target must attempt a DC 20 Fortitude save. The second and third time an immolis uses Heat Beam in the same round, the DC lowers to DC 16 Fortitude or DC 12 Fortitude, respectively.

FlankerLAND / VERTICALA skirmisher can exploit a target already softened by the ongoing heat effect.
CrasherLAND / VERTICALA heavy hitter lands a bigger finishing blow once the heat beam's escalating effect has worn a target down.
PUNISHES
✖ low Fortitude✖ stealth reliance✖ standing still
Avoid pairing with another single-target debuffer aimed at the same foe; overlapping saves offer diminishing returns.
