Creature 6 — fiend, sahkil, unholy
ShadeSnareLANDAERIALfiendsahkilunholy
These gaunt and insectile sahkils torment their foes by focusing on a widespread fear of insects and creeping, crawling vermin.

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.
Easy to Call — A wihsaak's level is considered 2 lower for the purpose of being conjured by the Binding Circle ritual (and potentially other rituals, at the GM's discretion), but it is always free to attack or leave instead of negotiate unless the primary caster's check is a critical success.
Swarmwalker — Swarms of animals and other unintelligent creatures instinctively leave a wihsaak alone. A wihsaak is immune to the damage from and effects of swarms with an Intelligence of –5.
Droning Distraction (auditory, divine, incapacitation, mental) — Success The creature is unaffected.
Failure The creature is Confused and Stupefied 1 for 1 round.
Critical Failure The creature is confused for 1 round and Stupefied 2 for 1 minute.
Failure The creature is Confused and Stupefied 1 for 1 round.
Critical Failure The creature is confused for 1 round and Stupefied 2 for 1 minute.
Skip Between (divine, teleportation) — The sahkil moves from the Universe to the Ethereal Plane or vice-versa. While in the Ethereal Plane, they're unable to affect anything in the Universe, and they cannot be seen by beings or abilities in the Universe, unless these have an ability that can gaze into the Ethereal Plane. While on the Material Plane the inverse is true for anything on the Ethereal Plane. A summoned sahkil can't use Skip Between.
