View source for Devouring Pillow (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat ===

A devouring pillow has no direct combat ability. As such, it must depend on subterfuge in order to subdue and devour its prey. Its main method of attack is to wait until its target becomes unconscious before engulfing the head, releasing numbing agents to prevent awakening, and leisurely devouring the brain.

'''{{Anchor|Latch On}} {{Ex}}:''' If a creature starts its turn [[SRD:Pinned|pinned]], [[SRD:Paralyzed|paralyzed]], [[SRD:Unconscious|unconscious]] or otherwise rendered [[SRD:Helpless|helpless]], a devouring pillow may latch onto the creature's head as a [[SRD:Standard Action|standard action]]. When latched on, the devouring pillow automatically deals 2d6 points of [[SRD:Acid Effect|acid]] damage at the start of each turn until the creature dies or it is somehow removed. Upon successfully latching on, the creature must make a DC 14 [[SRD:Fortitude|Fortitude]] save or become [[Numbed (3.5e Condition)|numbed]]. An unconscious creature that succeeds on this save wakes up and becomes capable of defending itself.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>A devouring pillow gains a +8 bonus to [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] checks against creatures it is latched onto.

A creature killed by a latched-on devouring pillow will have its head dissolved and its brain eaten.

'''{{Anchor|Mimic Shape}} {{Ex}}:''' A devouring pillow can use its ooze-like body to mimic simple shapes and textures. It is limited to objects without moving parts and of sizes similar to its own. It generally uses this ability to impersonate a fancy and comfortable-looking pillow in order to better entice would-be targets into taking it along. Anyone who examines the devouring pillow can detect the ruse with a successful [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]] check opposed by the devouring pillow’s [[SRD:Disguise Skill|Disguise]] check. 

'''Skills:''' **A devouring pillow has a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]] checks. Furthermore, it has a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Disguise Skill|Disguise]] checks.
