SFS Standard Elindrian Acolyte Creature 2

These elindrians are the rank-and-file worshippers of the Terror of Ukulam. Recently risen from the dead by some primal force or occult upheaval—no one is sure—they single-mindedly pursue their grisly task of unearthing fellow elindrians across Castrovel; many others have risen from the dead, but most still remain buried. They stop only to attack other living creatures that intervene.

Husk Mind (primal) Elindrians can communicate nearly instantaneously via a primal bond similar to a formian hive mind. While within telepathic range of at least one other elindrian with husk mind, an elindrian acolyte gains a +2 circumstance bonus to initiative rolls, Perception checks, and saving throws against mental effects. If one elindrian is aware of a combatant, all members of the husk mind within range are aware of it.
The elindrian's husk mind is integrated with their scent; for purposes of detecting other elindrians, formians, undead, or corpses, their scent is a precise sense, rather than imprecise.
An elindrian always knows the precise distance and direction to the Terror of Ukulam, so long as they're on the same plane of existence.

Elindrian

The people known as elindrians vanished eons ago into desolate husk-hives beneath the surface of the planet Castrovel. Until recently, they were creatures of legend, existing only in the most obscure formian histories. Now, scholars on Castrovel desperately search for additional records about elindrians, their origins, and—most importantly—the truth about their connection to the terrifying ooze-like creature that recently descended from their moon, Elindrae. One theory is that elindrians share some primal bond with the ooze-thing called the Terror of Ukulam, and perhaps both originate from Elindrae—other theories claim that elindrians created the ooze in the first place or that they’re distant cousins to formians, corrupted by the Terror long ago.

Other Elindrians

These elindrians are but a few types who have emerged from Castrovel thus far. Others include masses of tiny drone workers who rapidly converge on a dig site, excavate their fellows under the command of an elindrian acolyte, then perish in a disturbing feeding ritual; invisible shock troopers who fly deep into enemy territory, their wings emitting horrible screaming sounds as they spread poisonous gas; and plodding builders who devour as much organic matter as they can find, growing to immense sizes and later disgorging chitinous building materials to assemble lairs for their queens.

Elindrian Space Travel

Following the destructive emergence of the Terror of Ukulam from beneath Elindrae's surface, work crews set about looking for clues as to the creature's origins. While the area remains highly radioactive and filled with horrible oozes and other threats, a few explorers have survived long enough to make a disturbing discovery: strange, long-abandoned starships lie buried near the ooze's former resting place.
