WeaverLANDAQUATICfiendqlippothunholy
Shoggti travel to other planes in roving bands to capture and charm victims, bringing them back to the Abyss where they are enslaved for unknown-but no doubt insidiously evil-purposes. These squid-like qlippoth have slick, blue skin and four suckered tentacles that end in dexterous pincers. In addition to a lamprey-like mouth at the base of its body, each has a secondary maw in the middle of its forehead that stretches from between its two bulging eyes to the back of its head.

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.
Braincloud (attack, mental, occult) — The shoggti caresses a creature with a tentacle and supernaturally erodes the creature's capability for thought as it does so. The target must succeed at a DC 25 Will save or become Stupefied 2, with an unlimited duration. The target can attempt the save to remove the stupefied condition again once per day when it makes its daily preparations.
Constrict — 1d10+8 bludgeoning damage, DC 25 Fortitude
The monster deals the listed amount of damage to any number of creatures Grabbed or Restrained by it. Each of those creatures can attempt a basic Fortitude save with the listed DC.

Fascinating Display (concentrate, emotion, fear, mental, occult, visual) — The shoggti writhes its tentacles and shifts its coloration to put on an unnaturally fascinating hypnotic display. Creatures in a 30-foot emanation must attempt a DC 25 Will save, after which they are temporarily immune to further Fascinating Displays for 1 minute.
