Darkvision

A monster with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-level Darkness spell, block normal darkvision. A monster with Greater Darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.

Blinding Aura (aura, evocation, incapacitation, light, occult, visual)

60 feet. The sunburst corpse sheds bright light. Any creature that starts its turn in the emanation must succeed at a DC 31 fortitude save. If it fails, it's Blinded for 1 minute, and if it critically fails, it's blinded permanently. A creature that succeeds at its save is temporarily immune to this effect for 24 hours.

Darkness Vulnerability

A sunburst corpse is Sickened 1 while in areas of magical darkness. If the level of the magical darkness effect is at least half of the sunburst corpse's level (a 7th-level effect against most sunburst corpses), the sunburst corpse is also Slowed 1 while in the area.

Light Camouflage

The sunburst corpse is Concealed in areas of natural bright light, such as due to sunlight or torches, even to creatures that can see clearly in bright light. Magical bright light and light from the sunburst corpse's blinding aura don't conceal the sunburst corpse.

Constrict

2d6+6 bludgeoning plus 2d8 fire and residual light, DC 34

Constrict

2d6+6 bludgeoning plus 2d8 fire and Residual Light, DC 34 basic fortitude

---

The monster deals the listed amount of damage to any number of creatures Grabbed or Restrained by it. Each of those creatures can attempt a basic Fortitude save with the listed DC.

Nova Burst (evocation, light, occult)

The sunburst corpse intensifies its light and unleashes a burning blast of energy. It deals 12d8 fire damage to all creatures in a 20-foot emanation (DC 34 basic fortitude save). A creature that fails its save becomes Dazzled until the end of its next turn. The sunburst corpse can't use Nova Burst again for 1d4 rounds, and its blinding aura becomes inactive during this time.

Residual Light (evocation, light, occult)

When a sunburst corpse Strikes or Grapples a creature, some of the corpse's light clings to the creature for a moment. The creature must attempt a DC 34 fortitude save. On a failure, the creature is Dazzled until the end of its next turn. On a critical failure, the creature is dazzled for 1 minute. A dazzled creature can use an Interact action to wick off the light and remove the dazzled condition.

Grab

Requirements The monster's last action was a success with a Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or it has a creature grabbed using this action.

---

Effect The monster automatically Grabs the target until the end of the monster's next turn. The creature is Grabbed by whichever body part the monster attacked with, and that body part can't be used to Strike creatures until the grab is ended. Using Grab extends the duration of the monster's Grab until the end of its next turn for all creatures grabbed by it. A grabbed creature can use the Escape action to get out of the grab, and the Grab ends for a grabbed creatures if the monster moves away from it.
