MitD VI: The Undiscovered Creature (Please Read the First Post)

[colanderman]

Thumbing through the Pathfinder Bestiary 2 I found Qlippoths: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/a.../qlippoth.html

None of the Qlippoths listed seem a perfect fit for MitD, but the Augnagar is so close.

All Qlippoths:

• Horrific Appearance (Su) (effect varies by Qlippoth, but can 100% explain the circus scene)
• various teleportation abilities (Dimension Door, Word of Recall, Plane Shift), though none perfectly explain the "escape"

Augnagar in particular:

• Huge (would explain size of "dad")
• normal environment is Abyss
• DR 10/lawful (only Miko could "tickle" him)
• constant True Seeing (can't see the gates)
• 1/day Waves of Exhaustion (obviously never used for real, but maybe used as flavor?)
• Str 32 (I think that's enough for the tower scene?)
• Int 5 / Wis 20 (might explain the disconnect we see in his apparent intellect)
• "As an outsider, it does not need to eat to survive, yet it remains ravenous and feeds on anything it can overpower."

Some other Qlippoths:

• Command ("stop")
• Word of Chaos (maybe also could explain "stop")

Downsides:

• all Qlippoths are immune to mind-affecting effects
• most Qlippoths seem to have odd numbers of eyes
• temperament is… not quite correct

However the Qlippoth "family" seems SO CLOSE that perhaps there is a non-Paizo variant of the Qlippoth that does match; or perhaps Rich modified the Augnagar slightly. Just some thoughts!

EDIT: in fact, Erik Mona (now @ Paizo) first statted out these Qlippoths in Armies of the Abyss in 2002.
