Abilities & Attacks
Tremorsense 60 feet. Tremorsense allows a monster to feel the vibrations through a solid surface caused by movement. It is an imprecise sense with a limited range (listed in the ability). Tremorsense functions only if the monster is on the same surface as the subject, and only if the subject is moving along (or burrowing through) the surface. Telepathy 100 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. Stolen Identity. While a xoarian uses Body Thief, it gains the ability to understand and speak all languages known by the host, as well as knowledge of the host body's abilities, identity, role in society, and personality. However, it does not gain the specific memories or knowledge of the host body. Thoughtsense 60 feet. The xoarian senses a creature's mental essence as a precise sense with the listed range; it cannot sense mindless creatures with thoughtsense. Body Thief (3 actions) (manipulate, occult, possession). The xoarian squeezes itself into the head of a creature dead no longer than a day, consuming and replacing that creature's brain. At the start of the xoarian's next turn, the body revives at its maximum Hit Points, controlled by the xoarian. The xoarian is conscious and can sense everything the possessed body could. Any effect that ends the possession kills the host body with the same effects as Exit Body. The xoarian can't use any of the host creature's spells with Body Thief but can use its own innate spells. Exit Body (1 action) (move). Requirements The xoarian is controlling a body with Body Thief. Effect The xoarian bursts out of its host body, which dies instantly and is no longer a suitable host for any Body Thief ability. The xoarian stretches to its full size in an adjacent space. Ravage (3 actions). The xoarian makes two tentacle Strikes against a single Paralyzed, Restrained, or Unconscious creature. If the target has 0 Hit Points after Ravage, the xoarian can use a free action with the death trait to kill the target and occupy it with Body Thief.
