Greater Darkvision
A creature with greater 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 creature with greater darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.
At-Will SpellsThe monster can cast its at-will spells any number of times without using up spell slots.
Negative HealingA creature with negative healing draws health from negative energy rather than positive energy. It is damaged by positive damage and is not healed by positive healing effects. It does not take negative damage, and it is healed by negative effects that heal undead.
Necrotic Decay (divine, necromancy, negative)When an urdefhan dies, its invisible flesh quickly rots away and sublimates into a foul-smelling gas that fills a 5-foot emanation around the body.
This gas deals 8d6 negative damage to creatures in this area as their flesh curdles and rots as well (DC 24 basic fortitude save).
Blood Offering (metamagic, necromancy, occult)Frequency once per round
Effect The blood mage cuts themself and takes 8 slashing damage. If the blood mage's next action is to Cast a Spell, the action can't be disrupted, and if the spell has a range, the blood mage can increase that spell's range by 30 feet.
Wicked BiteRequirements The urdefhan damaged a creature with a jaws Strike on its last action
Effect The urdefhan maintains contact, turning the creature's flesh translucent around the site of the injury. The urdefhan chooses one of two options, each of which requires a fortitude save. If the jaws Strike was a critical hit, the creature suffers both effects, using the same save result for both.
- Drain Blood DC 26 fortitude The urdefhan drinks some of the creature's blood. On a failed save, the creature is Drained 1 and the urdefhan regains 10 HP (or, on a critical failure, it's Drained 2 and the urdefhan regains 20 HP).
- Drain Vitality (necromancy) DC 26 fortitude The urdefhan draws out some of the creature's vital essence. The creature becomes Enfeebled 1 for 1 hour on a failed save (or Enfeebled 2 for 1 hour on a critical failure).

Hardened masters of occult power, urdefhan blood mages trade their blood for magical might. A heavily scarred blood mage is held in esteem by their fellow urdefhans, as it shows they have survived many bargains with eerie occult patrons.
Translucent-skinned scourges of the Darklands, urdefhans are remorseless killers and foot soldiers of the world's end.
