These horrific creatures are vaguely humanoid but lack a traditional head—dozens of largely vestigial eyes top their bodies, while a massive, fang-filled mouth splits their chest. Their long tongue contains olfactory organs, which narriks primarily use to hunt. Narriks' favorite prey are sentient beings—calignis, hryngars, umbral gnomes, and surface adventurers and traders—an

Abilities

Darkvision — A monster with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-rank Darkness spell, block normal darkvision. A monster with Greater Darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.
Taste Fear — A narrik viscerally tastes fear. They can use scent as a precise sense when detecting frightened creatures.
Vestigial Eyes — A narrik's vision is limited. It's only a precise sense within 30 feet, and an imprecise sense beyond that.
Catalyzing Demise
Quick Congeal — A narrik's strange body chemistry causes their blood to congeal almost instantly. They automatically succeeds at flat checks to recover from persistent bleed damage.
Psychotropic Saliva (poison) — The target's frightened value doesn't automatically decrease at the end of its turn while affected by this poison
