Creature 4 — fiend, sahkil, unholy

SnareShadeLANDfiendsahkilunholy

Representing the fear of parasites and affliction, nucols appear as violent, pestilence-ridden boars. They pollute their victim's body and mind, spreading not only fear but a mind-altering affliction that exacerbates feelings of self-doubt. Though very aggressive, the fiends are capable of cunning manipulation. After they infect a victim with potent insecurity, they'll offer to remove the affliction for a price. Many of these deals are esoteric in nature, driving the victim into despair and for

Offense

Abilities

Telepathy 60 feet (aura, magical, mental) — 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.
Easy to Call — A nucol's level is considered 2 lower for the purpose of being conjured by the Binding Circle ritual (and potentially other rituals, at the GM's discretion), but it is always free to attack or leave instead of negotiate unless the primary caster's check is a critical success.
Nervous Consumption (disease, divine, emotion, mental) — Saving Throw DC 21 Fortitude

Stage 1 Sickened 1 and Stupefied 1 (1 day)

Stage 2 Clumsy 1 and Stupefied 2 (1 day)

Stage 3 Clumsy 2 and Stupefied 3 (1 day)
Skip Between — The sahkil moves from the Universe to the Ethereal Plane or vice-versa. While in the Ethereal Plane, they're unable to affect anything in the Universe, and they cannot be seen by beings or abilities in the Universe, unless these have an ability that can gaze into the Ethereal Plane. While on the Material Plane the inverse is true for anything on the Ethereal Plane. A summoned sahkil can't use Skip Between.
Spray Pus — The nucol flexes one of its infected wounds, releasing a spray of pus in a 15-foot cone or targeting an individual creature within 30 feet. A creature targeted or in the area is exposed to nervous consumption.

CrasherLANDA bruiser can capitalize on targets already Clumsy and Stupefied from the toxin before they recover.
FlankerLANDA mobile striker benefits from the Off-Guard opening created while a target struggles with the toxin's escalating stages.
