Abilities & Attacks
Telepathy 30 feet (aura, magical, mental). 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. Abandon Puppet (1 action) (manipulate). Requirements The incutilis is attached to a puppet. Effect The incutilis abandons its puppet, detaching and separating from its nervous system. If the puppet is still alive, it's Unconscious and temporarily immune to that incutilis's Puppetmaster ability for 24 hours. Puppetmaster (3 actions) (manipulate). An incutilis drives tendrils into a Small or Medium living creature that's Unconscious or Restrained by the incutilis. They attach and inject the unfortunate host with enzymes to take over control of the creature's nervous system, turning the host into a puppet controlled by the incutilis. The puppet becomes controlled by the incutilis, and gains dying 2. This doesn't change the puppet's HP, and the puppet can have this dying condition even if it has more than 0 HP. If the puppet dies, its body remains under the control of the incutilis until it's destroyed or the incutilis Abandons the Puppet. If the puppet recovers from the dying condition, the incutilis immediately Abandons the Puppet. While controlling a puppet, the incutilis is attached to the puppet's head (or elsewhere, if its brain is in an unconventional location) and moves along with it. The puppet uses its own AC, Hit Points, Fortitude and Reflex saves, and physical Strikes, but it uses the incutilis's Will save. The puppet can perform only basic actions and untrained uses of the Athletics and Stealth skills while controlled. Any attack that deals damage to the puppet also deals 1 mental damage to the incutilis. Area effects are applied to both the incutilis and puppet. The incutilis always has lesser cover while in control of a puppet. Grab (1 action). 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 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.
