Melee ◆ tendril +15 (agile), Damage 2d4+6 bludgeoning plus 1d6 mental plus Excruciating Enzyme

Occult Innate Spells DC 24, attack +16; 5th mind probe; 4th rewrite memory; 3rd mind reading (at will); 2nd invisibility (at will, self only)

Excruciating Enzyme (occult, poison) A rhu-chalik's tendrils secrete an enzyme that causes intense pain. A living creature hit by a tendril Strike must succeed at a DC 24 Fortitude save or become Sickened 1 from the pain.

Label Memories ◆◆ (mental, occult) The rhu-chalik invades the mind of a target within 100 feet, sorting the memories into alien structures for transmission. The target must attempt a DC 24 Will save.

Critical Success The target creature is unaffected and temporarily immune to Label Memories for 1 minute.

Success The target is unaffected.

Failure The target becomes Stupefied 2 for 1 minute as its mind is reorganized to fit the rhu-chalik's needs. If it's already stupefied by this effect, the target instead becomes Confused for 1 minute or until it recovers due to taking damage.

Critical Failure As failure, but if the target is already stupefied by Label Memories, they become Paralyzed for 1 minute instead of confused.

Transmit Memories ◆◆◆ (concentrate, mental, occult) Requirements The rhu-chalik is adjacent to a creature Paralyzed due to Label Memories

Effect The rhu-chalik copies the creature's consciousness and mentally sends this copied consciousness through the void of space to their waiting masters. The target creature is deeply disoriented by this procedure, becoming Stupefied 2 for 1 day afterward.
