A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would.

+1 Status to All Saves vs. MagicEntrancing Movement (aura, occult, visual)

30 feet.

The dream drowner's tentacles move with hypnotic grace. When a creature ends its turn in the dream drowner's aura, it must attempt a DC 32 will save, becoming Stupefied 1 on a failure (or increasing its stupefied value by 1, to a maximum of 4). The dream drowner can deactivate or activate this aura by using a single action, which has the concentrate trait.

Eldritch Toxin (curse, occult)

A creature touched by a dream drowner's tentacles must succeed at a DC 29 will save or become Stunned 1 (Stunned 2 on a critical failure).

Entangled Thoughts (emotion, mental, occult)

A creature affected by a dream drowner's Dominate spell becomes Confused for 1 minute after the dominate spell ends. The creature can attempt a DC 32 will save at the end of each of its turns to end the condition.

Mind Leech (mental, occult)

When a creature fails or critically fails a Will save against a dream drowner's occult innate spells, the creature takes 1d6 mental1d6 nonlethal mental damage per rank of the spell.

Subjugate Minds Two Actions (concentrate, mental, occult)

A dream drowner assaults the minds of distracted creatures. Each creature within a 20-foot emanation that has the Fascinated or stupefied condition takes 10d8 mental damage (DC 32 will save).

The dream drowner can't use this ability again for 1d4 rounds.

Tentacle Flurry Two Actions

The dream drowner makes a tentacle Strike against each creature within its reach. These Strikes count toward the dream drowner's multiple attack penalty, but the multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after the dream drowner makes all its attacks.

Grab One Action

Requirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained

Effect If used after a Strike, the monster attempts to [/act grapple] the creature using the body part it attacked with. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty.

The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.

Rituals

Collective Memories

Dream drowners are anemone-like predators from Orv's flooded vaults. A dream drowner indefinitely parasitizes and mentally controls a host to serve as its mount as it seeks out the thoughts of thinking prey to consume. So far, any attempt to communicate with these creatures elicits aggression, yet the beings' behavior demonstrates extraordinary intelligence.

Traits

Rare

This rarity indicates that a rules element is very difficult to find in the game world. A rare feat, spell, item or the like is available to players only if the GM decides to include it in the game, typically through discovery during play. Creatures with this trait are rare. They typically can't be summoned. The DC of Recall Knowledge checks related to these creatures is increased by 5.

Aberration

Aberrations are creatures from beyond the planes or corruptions of the natural order.

Aquatic

Aquatic creatures are at home underwater. Their bludgeoning and slashing unarmed Strikes don't take the usual –2 penalty for being underwater. Aquatic creatures can breathe water but not air.
