Xill

Creature 6 (uncommon) — aberration, ethereal

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Xills visit the Material Plane, where they're often known as ethereal stalkers, primarily to maraud and to kidnap creatures back to their native Ethereal Plane. These four-armed, warmongering monsters paralyze their victims before implanting them with eggs using an ovipositor normally kept retracted behind their mandibles. Their single-minded drive to expand and conquer is so all-encompassing that while they work together dutifully and without dissent, there is little else in their lives.

Xill Eggs (disease) — The Sickened condition from xill eggs doesn't improve on its own until the disease is cured or runs its course.
