Seraptis
Creature 15 — demon, fiend, unholy
CrasherWeaverLANDAERIALdemonfiendunholyacid
Four-armed seraptis demons are radical nihilists at heart, despising other creatures out of bitter entitlement and laughing hysterically when others die or suffer. They arise from souls that engaged in dedicated campaigns of misery, driving their victims toward despair and suicide. After their awakening as a seraptis, the hungry mouths carved into their arms devour others' suffering, bringing a lively hue to the demon's cold skin. These demons seek to drag mortals down to their level, luring pa

Abilities
Telepathy 100 feet (aura, magical, mental) — 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 —
Blood Healing (aura, healing, vitality) — 30 feet.
Whenever a humanoid within the aura takes bleed damage, the blood flows through the air to the seraptis's mouths and the seraptis heals by the same amount.

Recovery Vulnerability — When a creature within the seraptis's blood healing aura recovers from persistent damage, the seraptis takes 3d6 mental damage.
Bloody Dance — The seraptis makes a Strike with up to four arms, each against a different target and using a claw or scimitar as appropriate. These attacks count toward the seraptis's multiple attack penalty, but the multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after all the attacks. The seraptis can use Grab following this activity, separately attempting to Grapple each creature hit by a claw.
Gnawing Arms (unholy) —
Isolating Words (curse, linguistic, mental) — The seraptis telepathically explains a plausible secret to a creature within 30 feet. That creature must succeed at a DC 37 Will save or be mentally cut off from those around them for 1 minute (or permanently on a critical failure). The affected creature treats no one as an ally and any speech they hear is warped, encouraging conflict, and negating any linguistic ability from creatures that aren't unholy.
Regardless of the results of the saving throw, the creature is immune to Isolating Words for 24 hours.

WORKS WELL WITH
SnareLAND / AERIALA grappler that keeps a target from disengaging lets this creature land its multi-limb attack sequence across the same trapped victim.
AnvilLAND / AERIALA durable frontline presence draws Reactive Strike-worthy openings away from this creature, letting it fly in for a Grab and multi-limb attacks on its own terms.
SniperLAND / AERIALRanged pressure from a distance forces targets to spread out, working against the party's instinct to cluster near allies bleeding out under the blood-healing aura.
PUNISHES
✖ clumping✖ persistent-damage reliance✖ low Will
Avoid pairing with another bleed-punishing brute; recovering from persistent damage hurts this creature directly, so redundant bleed sources add risk without added control.
