Nymolus

Creature 10 (uncommon) — aberration, amphibious

Alghollthus share a genetic memory and are theoretically capable of recalling every experience dating back to the existence of the frst alghollthu hundreds of millions of years ago. Accessing these memories all at once would be lethally taxing to most alghollthus, but nymoluses are different. They revel in tapping into this genetic memory and add to it by stealing memories from others, turning them into memory crystals. A single nymolus can store up to 10 crystals at a time within their brain,

Abilities

Inhabit Ugothol — The nymolus spends 10 minutes with a willing ugothol to become enmeshed with the creature. The nymolus then fully inhabits the ugothol's body. While inhabited, the ugothol retains its mental abilities, but its body is completely controlled by the nymolus. The nymolus and ugothol each have an initiative count as if they were separate creatures. The nymolus can't use any ability that relies on their physical form while inhabiting the ugothol, but the nymolus can still perceive and cast spells normally. The two remain enmeshed until the nymolus uses the ugothol's Assume Form ability to separate them, or until the ugothol is slain. If the ugothol dies, the nymolus becomes Stunned 3 due to the force of the separation.
Replace Recollection — The nymolus can spend 10 minutes to replace any memory with another memory they have access to via a memory crystal.
Extract Memory (manipulate, mental) — **Critical Success** The creature is unaffected. **Success** The creature loses the target memory. **Failure** The creature loses the target memory and is Confused for 1 minute. **Critical Failure** As failure, but the creature can only roll to end this condition if it takes damage from the nymolus themself or if counteracted by an efect of at least 13th level or 7th rank.
Stunning Pulse (mental, occult) — The nymolus emits a powerful mental pulse that overwhelms nearby creatures. Creatures in a 10-foot type:emanation must attempt a DC 27 Fortitude save to avoid being stunned. The nymolus can't use Stunning Pulse again for 1d4 rounds. **Critical Success** The creature is unaffected. **Success** The creature is Stunned 1. **Failure** The creature is Stunned 2. **Critical Failure** The creature is Stunned 3.
