S PE CI A L A B I L I T I E S Mucus (Su) A hunting horror’s “flesh” constantly weeps
thick foul mucus, seemingly melting off its serpentine frame as swiftly as it rebuilds and restores its shape When
a hunting horror lands on a surface, the mucus swiftly spreads out in a ten-foot radius around the creature and hardens into a thick mud-like consistency This area is treated as difficult terrain by all save hunting horrors Each round a creature other than a hunting horror begins its turn within this area, it must make a successful DC 27 Reflex save or become entangled for as long as it remains within the area The save DC is Constitution-based
Shared Consciousness (Ex) All hunting horrors are
branches of the same immense organism that has spread throughout several dimensions across the reaches of space, and anything one hunting horror experiences is experienced by all When multiple hunting horrors are encountered, none of them are considered flat-footed unless all of them are
Swallow Whole (Ex) A hunting horror’s body constantly
reforms and repairs itself The hole created when a creature cuts its way out of a hunting horror instantly seals as soon as the escaping creature exits
Telepathic Assault (Su) As it attacks, a hunting horror
bombards its prey’s consciousness with its mind, sending grisly and horrific images into the victim’s thoughts in
an attempt to undermine the potential meal’s defenses and to flavor the flesh with the tang of fear and despair Whenever a hunting horror attacks a creature, regardless
of whether the attack successfully hits or not, that creature must make a successful DC 26 Will save or
be staggered for 1 round by despair and horror at the images projected by the hunting horror An already-staggered creature that fails this saving throw is also stunned for 1 round This is a mind-affecting fear effect The save DC is Charisma-based
Hunting horrors flow down directly from the sky like black lightning They are very large, and their serpentine bodies act like tentacles to grip victims while their mouths grow impossibly wide to swallow foes whole An individual hunting horror usually has a wingspan of 20+ feet, and an even longer body length
It weighs from 3000–6000 pounds, and could never fly if it was restricted to normal laws of physics
Hunting Horror
Flowing down directly from the
sky, like black lightning, this
worm-like creature appears before you,
reeking of ancient rot From between
its armored plates seeps a grotesque
mucus falling constantly like an
unholy rain Its many eyes stare at
you with vile hatred.
