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.

Telepathy 100 feet (aura, divination, magical)

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.

Easy to Call

A sahkil's level is considered 2 lower for the purpose of being conjured by the Planar Binding ritual (and potentially other rituals, at the GM's discretion), but it is always free to attack or leave instead of negotiate unless the primary caster's check is a critical success.

Swarmwalker

Swarms of animals and other unintelligent creatures instinctively leave a wihsaak alone. A wihsaak is immune to the damage from and effects of swarms with an Intelligence of -5.

Droning Distraction (auditory, divine, evocation, incapacitation, mental)

Effect The wihsaak beats its wings rapidly, creating a buzzing drone that numbs creatures' minds. Each creature within 100 feet must attempt a DC 23 will save. They are then temporarily immune for 1 minute.

---

Success The creature is unaffected.

Failure The creature is Confused and Stupefied 1 for 1 round.

Critical Failure The creature is confused for 1 round and Stupefied 2 for 1 minute.

Skip Between (conjuration, divine, teleportation)

The wihsaak moves from the Material Plane to the Ethereal Plane or vice-versa, with the effects of Ethereal Jaunt except that the effect has an unlimited duration and can be Dismissed.

A summoned sakhil can't use Skip Between.

Divine Innate Spells (DC 23, +15 to hit)

Cantrips (3rd Level): Detect Magic
2nd Level: Blur, See Invisibility, Sound Burst
3rd Level: Fear
4th Level: Suggestion

---

The monsters are acclimated to the wintery climate of northern Arcadia.

---

These gaunt and insectile sahkils torment their foes by focusing on a widespread fear of insects and creeping, crawling vermin. Unlike their more subtle cousins, wihsaaks don't lurk in the periphery and instead directly engage their targets, using their unnerving buzzing to disorient and terrify.

When encountering multiple foes, wihsaaks attempt to spread fear to everyone before slashing at them with their devastating claws.
