Creature 10 (uncommon) — fiend, qlippoth, unholy

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

WeaverFlankerLANDAERIALfiendunholy

Little more than a coiled mass of intestines encircling a massive gaping maw, this qlippoth is an Abyssal scavenger, subsisting on the filth and leftovers of demons and qlippoth alike, although it relishes any opportunity to consume living prey. Despite this seeming lowly role in the Abyssal ecosystem, a nyogoth is far from a stupid beast and can orchestrate cunning ambushes to secure its next meal.

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.
Caustic Blood
Feeding Frenzy
Nauseating Display (concentrate, emotion, fear, incapacitation, mental, occult, visual) — The nyogoth untangles its tentacles and prolapses its many mouths, turning itself inside out in a truly nauseating display. Creatures in a 30-foot emanation must attempt a DC 29 Will save, after which they are temporarily immune to further Nauseating Displays for 1 minute.

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLAND / AERIALA durable frontliner holds enemies inside the Weaver's nauseating emanation and draws attacks away from the relatively fragile qlippoth.
CrasherLAND / AERIALMelee damage dealers exploit the sickened and flat-footed condition from the Weaver's area denial and Grabs.
SniperLAND / AERIALRanged attackers safely pick off nauseated targets while the Weaver holds attention with reach and flight.
