Red-Hooded Thatchling

Distracting Giggle (auditory, aura, emotion, mental, occult) — 15 feet. The thatchling's giggle echoes in the back of the mind. Creatures within the aura take a –1 status penalty to Will saves.

Rejuvenation (divine) — When a thatchling is destroyed by damage other than fire, it attempts a DC 11 Flat. On a success, it reforms after 2d4 days within 120 feet of where it was destroyed, fully healed. A thatchling is always permanently destroyed if reduced to 0 Hit Points by fire damage or if the obstacle preventing the soul from reincarnating is removed.

Void Healing — Negative Healing

Create Thatchling Spawn (occult) — A living humanoid who's slain by a red-hooded thatchling while under the effects of Thatchling's Curse rises as a thatchling after 1d4 rounds. This spawn is under the command of the red-hooded thatchling that killed it. If a red-hooded thatchling controls too many at once (as determined by the GM), some thatchlings can free themselves with a DC 18 Will saving throw at the start of their turn. If the red-hooded thatchling who created the spawn is destroyed, the spawn becomes an autonomous thatchling.

Howl of Vengeful Fury (occult, sonic) — Frequency once per hour Effect The red-hooded thatchling sobs pitifully before unleashing a terrifying scream. All non-thatchling creatures within a 30-foot type:emanation take 2d10 sonic damage (DC 18 Fortitude save) and become immune to all thatchlings' distracting giggle for 1 minute. Thatchlings in the area gain 5 temporary Hit Points and a +1 status bonus to their Strikes and saving throws for 1 minute.

Thatchling's Curse (curse, mental, occult) — The thatchling focuses their attention on a single target within 30 feet that they can see, and then begins muttering and whispering nonsense. The target must attempt a DC 18 Will save. **Critical Success** The target is unaffected and is temporarily immune to Thatchling's Curse for 24 hours. **Success** The target is momentarily disoriented and has difficulty moving in the right direction. The target takes a –5-foot status penalty to its Speeds for 1 round. **Failure** As success, but the penalty to its Speeds lasts for 1 minute. **Critical Failure** As failure, but the penalty to its Speeds lasts until the curse is removed or until the thatchling who created the effect is permanently destroyed, whichever comes first. In addition, when the cursed creature attempts a Survival check to Sense Direction or Track, it uses the outcome for one degree of success worse than the result of its roll, and it can't take the Scout exploration activity.

Thicket Walker — Thatchlings ignore difficult terrain caused by brambles, fallen buildings, ruined structures, tangled grass, and undergrowth.
