View source for Eryloth (3.5e Monster)

===Tactics & Habits===

Though proficient with simple and martial weapons, an eryloth prefers to fight unarmed, feinting and grappling her flat-footed opponents with her Blood Tongue. Preferably, she'd employ her blacklight sphere on either herself or her target and move in silently on her foes. When without her ''blacklight'', she'll advance and employ combat feints as a [[SRD:Move Actions|move action]] to get her opponents off-guard and make attacks. If there are multiple weaker foes, she may employ her quadrupedal beast form to make two blood tongue attacks per round. If she is unable to get the drop on her opponent with a tactical advantage, gets heavily wounded or outnumbered, she'll transform into either her quadrupedal beast form to withdraw and fly away or slip into her blood pool form to ooze through cracks, taking a [[SRD:Standard Actions#Total Defense|total defense action]] if necessary.

Unlike other fiends, an eryloth is incapable of magically summoning others to her aid, relying instead on her ability to draw out blood from her slain foes for backup.

Surprisingly tactical in her habits, an eryloth prefers retreat or diplomacy to mindless fury. While evil, she is not wasteful in picking her targets. If unable to close with attackers due to range or other threats, an eryloth is likely to retreat and make an attempt again later.
