Eldritch Horror
An unspeakable creature from the far realms.
Personality
Eldritch Horrors tend to possess emotional states not known to humanoids. These emotional states are often also not known to other Eldritch Horrors.
Physical Description
Eldritch Horrors are a strange amalgam of slug feet, legs, tentacles, arms, antennae, eyestalks, eyes, pincers, slimy skin, carapaces, scales, exposed organs, empty eye sockets burning with rage, exposed bones, and hair. Any given body part is likely to be replaced naturally after four to seven days.
Relations
Eldritch Horrors are very much the loner sort; they have no particular social attachment to other Eldritch Horrors, since they are simply spawned by the shifting nature of the far realms. This does not mean that individual Eldritch Horrors can't become fast friends with members of other races: many Eldritch Horrors have personality traits that resemble empathy and loyalty.
Alignment
Any individual Eldritch Horror usually has a tendency towards some alignment.
Lands
Eldritch Horrors come from the far realms, but they actually find the material plane quite pleasant.
Religion
Some Eldritch Horrors experience emotions vaguely resembling joy when they suck up to more powerful entities.
Language
Eldritch Horrors are formed with knowledge of a language. It's not consistent which one, though.
Names
Eldritch Horrors tend to name theirselves after their favorite activities or goals.
Example Names: He Who Conquers All, Speaker of Forgotten Mysteries, Servant of Joe, Weaver of Baskets, Seller of Fine Potions, The Deepwater Sadist, Poisoner of Halflings.
Racial Traits
- Aberration: Eldritch Horrors are aberrations.
- Medium: As a Medium creature, a Eldritch Horror has no special bonuses or penalties due to its size.
- Eldritch Horror base land speed is 30 feet: They also have a 20 foot swim speed.
- Darkvision: A 60 can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and a Eldritch Horror can function just fine with no light at all.
- Aura of Horror (Su): Creatures within 30' of the Eldritch Horror that don't have more HD than the Eldritch Horror are shaken.
- Whispers of Madness (Sp): As a full-round action, the Eldritch Horror can whisper into the ears of an adjacent helpless creature. Unless that creature succeeds on a Will save (DC 10 + character level + Charisma modifier), it is permanently confused.
- Unstable Physiology (Ex): The Eldritch Horror replaces lost or damaged body parts 3d20 hours after they are damaged with new body parts that serve the same function. In addition, the inconsistent placement of the Eldritch Horror's internal organs gives it 50% fortification.
