Lesser creatures from planes best left undiscovered. Although they can feed and reproduce fine within their native realm, when cast adrift beyond they need biological matter to do so - it does not matter if it is alive or dead - but living tissue lasts longer for their purposes. Lately there have been more and more infestations of these creatures, but what that means exactly is unclear. Instinct: To Feed

• Inject paralytic venom
• Burst from dead (or far-warped) flesh
• Implant its eggs into biological material

The Kaorti make thralls for a specific purpose, hunterthralls are no different, usually used on escaped prisoners - but any prey in a sufficiently wild area will suffice. In harsher times they are used as killers, able to dispatch foes or otherwise frustrate them. Although they would prefer to act within the Kaorti cysts where they can tap into the latent energies of those places to better use the tools that they have, they are granted the luxury of being able to store these energies somewhat in their very beings - something that can be vented violently if necessary. Instinct: To hunt and subdue (or kill)

• Mystically subdue an opponent
• Reveal a pre-placed trap
• Explosively vent stored far energies

## Sweeping Gaze: When the monster first draws the attention of unwary delvers, everyone must roll+LUC. Then go around the table, in order of highest roll to lowest. ✴On a 7+, you avoid catching the monster's gaze. ✴On a 10+, you also distract it momentarily: Pick one ally whose fate is undetermined, and say how you divert the monster's gaze from them. ✴On a miss, the creature arrests you in its stare. ## Stare: When you meet the monster's gaze, you feel your flesh freezing into stony crust. Burn 2d4 Dexterity and roll+CON. ✴On a 7+, you free yourself from the monster's stare. ✴On a 7–9, your body stiffens and your mind becomes sluggish: make your next roll with disadvantage. When the monster's stare reduces your Dexterity to 2 or less, you are immobilized and rooted to the spot. When it reduces your Dexterity to zero, you are petrified through and through.
