Sometimes, when murderer buries a large number of victims in a mass grave, the vengeful spirits of the slain can become similarly tangled together. When these spirits can't untangle, they instead return to their physical remains, fusing into one horrific mass of bones and black, tar-like sludge-a tanglebones. One awful tale speaks of a bitter old dowager who learned that, through a legal loophole, ownership of her estate would revert to her estranged daughter. She murdered her 13 servants, buri

Abilities
Ectoplasmic Filament —
Eerie Flexibility — A tanglebones can shift and adjust its mass to fit into smaller areas, allowing it to fit through tight spaces as if it were a Medium creature. While Squeezing, it can move at its full Speed.
Void Healing — A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.
Gnaw —
Skeletal Storm — The tanglebones makes a single claw Strike against every creature in reach. These attacks count toward the tanglebones' multiple attack penalty, but the multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after the tanglebones makes all its attacks.
Sprawled Bones (concentrate) — Until the next time it acts, the tanglebones appears as a sprawling mass of bones. It has an automatic result of 35 on Deception checks and DCs to pass as a grisly but seemingly harmless mess.
Grab —
