Drain Blood

The fulthrethu uses its hollow tongues to drink the blood of an adjacent, Restrained, or Unconscious creature. The creature is Drained 1, and the fulthrethu gains 4d4 temporary Hit Points that last for 1 minute.

Flotsam (concentrate)

Until the next time they act, the fulthrethu appears to be a mass of seaweed or flotsam, either floating in the water or heaped on the ground. It has an automatic result of 33 on Deception checks and DCs to pass as such.

Lasting Illusion (concentrate)

The fulthrethu sustains an Illusory Creature spell. When an illusory creature spell is sustained in this way, the illusion isn't automatically destroyed if it's hit by an attack or fails a save. Instead, the fulthrethu takes 3d6 mental damage and must attempt a DC 5 flat. On a failure, the illusory creature spell ends. The fulthrethu can sustain an illusory creature spell for up to 8 hours.

Grab

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.

The sinister fulthrethu often appears as nothing more than a tangle of flotsam and kelp drifting on the currents or washed onto shore. At least, until the fulthrethu attacks, at which point its true appearance—that of a manta-ray-like creature with a suckered tail, toothy maw, and a dozen orange eyes—becomes clear.

Alghollthus created the first fulthrethus eons ago to serve a unique role—to beguile unsuspecting creatures via frighteningly realistic illusions. Typically, a fulthrethu infiltrates a community by securing a safe hiding place, such as a garbage dump or cistern, from which it sends forth an illusory member of that community to spy on and interact with the locals.

Today, fulthrethus who escape their alghollthu creators often gather in small enclaves, but they're no less malevolent. Instead, the fulthrethus' goal of manipulating nearby communities simply becomes more self- serving. Members of a fulthrethu enclave often share the responsibility of maintaining the appearance of an illusory god, through which they reduce nearby villages into unsuspecting cults that supply the fulthrethus with all the food and treasure they desire.

Fulthrethu Trickery

Although a fulthrethu is skilled at deceiving others through its illusory proxies, it has no magical sensory link to its illusions. To maintain believable control over an illusion or to observe how others react to it, the fulthrethu must remain within range of its illusion (typically 500 feet). Concentrating on a lasting illusion and its flotsam disguise at the same time leaves the fulthrethu limited in the other actions it can take in a round.
