Isqulug
Creature 11 (uncommon) — aberration, amphibious
Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.
The isqulug's appearance, though unsettling, might be its least awful aspect. The creature resembles a bipedal amphibian with tentacles instead of arms and a head composed of an undulant mass of what appear to be shifting, slimy transparent eggs filled with writhing larvae. In truth, these larvae constitute the mind and consciousness of the isqulug-its "body" is little more than an organic suit manufactured from the flesh of those it has consumed, analogous to the complex web of a spider or the

Expel Infestation — The isqulug expels larvae from the hivemind in its head in a 30-foot cone. Creatures in this area take 6d10 piercing damage as the swarm feeds on their flesh (DC 30 Reflex save). Any creature that takes damage is exposed to isqulugia.
The isqulug becomes Stupefied 1 for 1d4 rounds, during which it can't Expel Infestation.
Isqulugia (disease, incapacitation, primal, virulent) — Isqulugia's Sickened, Slowed, and Paralyzed conditions can't be removed until this affliction is removed

Stage 2 Fatigued and Sickened 2 (1 day)

Stage 5 the creature dies, and its body violently transforms into a new isqulug. Wish, similar magic, or a 9th-rank Resurrect ritual can return the victim to life. The new isqulug remains even if the victim is brought back to life.
Malleability — The isqulug can Squeeze through tight spaces as if it were a Small creature. While Squeezing, it can move at its full Speed. The isqulug can even Squeeze through spaces that typically fit only a Tiny creature, but does so at the standard speed for Squeezing.
Swamp Stride — An isqulug ignores difficult terrain that's caused by typical features of swamps.
