Abilities
Telepathy 300 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.
Bloodsense 60 feet — The scarlet walker can sense living creatures with blood in their veins, as well as undead that feed on blood (such as vampires).
Constant Spells — A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.
+1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic —
Blood-Draining Gaze (aura, occult, visual) — 20 feet. When a living, non-scarlet walker creature ends its turn in the aura, it must attempt a DC 29 Fortitude save to prevent thin streams of blood from streaming from its eyes and into the eyeless pits in the scarlet walker's face. On a failed save, the victim becomes Drained 1 (Drained 2 on a critical failure) and Sickened 1 from the pain.
No Breath — The scarlet walker doesn't breathe and is immune to effects that require breathing (such as an inhaled poison).
Eerie Flexibility — The scarlet walker can fit through tight spaces as if it were a Medium creature. While Squeezing, it can move at its full Speed.
Paralysis (incapacitation, occult) — Any living, non-scarlet walker creature hit by a scarlet walker's tentacle Strike must attempt a DC 29 Fortitude save.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature is Slowed 1 for 1 round.
Failure The creature is Paralyzed for 1 round, and is then slowed 1 for 1 round after recovering.
Critical Failure As failure, but the paralysis doesn't automatically end after 1 round. The creature can attempt a new save at the end of each of its turns, and the DC cumulatively decreases by 1 on each such save.
Note: A DC was not provided for this ability by Paizo. The DC present here is a moderate DC for the creature level according to the Gamemastery Guide creature building Tables.
