Although soulriders can grow quite large, most of them are narrow creatures only a few feet long. Even once they've attached to a soul and passed between planes, they must complete their adaptation to the new environment before beginning their growth. These smallest soulriders might be found anywhere in the mortal Universe with a portal to the Outer Sphere or a history of summoning magic. Large batches of spawn in the wilderness are often culled by natural predators, but individual spawn can su

Abilities
Planar Adaptation (Monitor) — A spawning soulrider has traits appropriate to the planar energy it's absorbed: celestial and holy, fiend and unholy, or monitor.
Monitor Escape (concentrate, teleportation) — The soulrider's form blurs as it exploits loopholes in the multiverse. It teleports to an empty space within 60 feet.
Propulsive Launch — The soulrider Leaps up to 40 feet, then makes a sucker Strike. If it's in the air and not attached to a creature after the Strike, it falls.
Soul Attach (spirit) — When a soulrider succeeds at a sucker Strike against a target with a soul capable of facing judgment, its sucker attaches it to that soul. While attached, both the soulrider and the host creature are Off-Guard, and the soulrider moves with its host until the soulrider dies or the host pulls it loose (Escape). If the host dies while the soulrider is attached, the soulrider disappears immediately to follow the soul leaving the body. A creature returned to life before reaching its final destination generally returns with any attached soulrider.

WORKS WELL WITH
FlankerLAND / AQUATICA mobile striker can isolate a single target for the soulrider to attach to before the party can focus it down.
CrasherLAND / AQUATICA hard-hitting attacker can finish an already-attached target while the soulrider's teleport keeps it safe from retaliation.
AnvilLAND / AQUATICA durable frontline body absorbs the party's attention so the fragile soulrider can slip past to attach to a backline target.
