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.
+1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic —

Morphic Weapon (morph, occult) — Salathiss transforms one of his hands into a tentacle with a blade at the end, allowing him to make morphic weapon Strikes. If he's disguised, whether by magical or mundane means, his disguise immediately ends. He can return his hand to normal with another use of this ability, but doing so doesn't restore his disguise.
Peerless Duplicate (exploration, fortune, occult) — If Salathiss interacts with a creature for 10 minutes, he can choose to expertly duplicate that person. He can roll any Deception check to Impersonate that person twice and take the higher result. This benefit lasts for 24 hours or until he uses this ability on a different creature.
