Abilities & Attacks

- **Spewing Bile** When the penanggalan takes slashing damage, their wound spews bile on adjacent creatures, dealing 2d10 poison damage (19 basic Fortitude save). The penanggalan loses their spewing bile and penanggalan bile abilities until the end of their next turn. - **Constrict** 2d4+3 bludgeoning, 21 - **Elongate Tongue** The penanggalan's tongue extends, the membrane stretching and becoming translucent. Until the end of the turn, the penanggalan's proboscis tongue Strike have a 10-foot reach, and any target is flat-footed against the Strike unless it has a Perception DC of 22 or higher or the ability to precisely sense invisible things. - **Penanggalan Bile** (disease) - **Ride Corpse** (concentrate, polymorph, transmutation) The penanggalan inserts their entrails into their humanoid body, allowing them to appear as and move about like a normal human. The body has 10 Hit Points and the same defenses as the penanggalan. When the body is destroyed, the penanggalan is ejected unharmed. The body becomes a corpse, and if it is neither controlled by the penanggalan nor stored in an alchemical vat, it decays as normal.
