Waxen Effigy
Creature 18 (rare) — ooze, undead
WeaverLANDVERTICALoozeundead
The undead ooze known as a waxen effigy forms under a specific set of circumstances, making such creatures quite rare. Most waxen effigies arise from botched rituals intended to migrate a powerful sapient creature's soul into a body made of wax, whether in a bid for immortality or a method of imprisonment or sacrifice. The death—especially a traumatic death—of a sapient creature in close proximity to a wax figure or while attempting to craft a construct out of wax might also result in a waxen ef

Abilities
Memento Vulnerability — Waxen effigies retain an attachment to objects they had a strong tie to in life. A character who holds such a memento in a hand can use it to alter the effects of Demoralize. Doing so adds the manipulate trait to Demoralize. If the attempt to Demoralize the waxen effigy is successful, it becomes Slowed 1 (Slowed 2 on a critical success) for 1 round rather than becoming frightened. On a critical failure, the waxen effigy loses Memento Vulnerability for 24 hours.
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.
Wax Trail — A waxen effigy leaves behind a trail of molten wax when it Strides, making any spaces it moves through difficult hazardous terrain until the beginning of its next turn, whereupon the molten wax trail vanishes. Creatures moving through the wax trail take 4d6 fire damage each time they do so (DC 40 Reflex save).
Enervating Howl (auditory) — The waxen effigy emits a gurgling howl, sapping the life energy from all living creatures within 30 feet. Affected creatures must attempt a DC 40 Fortitude save. The waxen effigy can't use Enervating Howl again for 1d4 rounds
