Silt Horror, Brown

''The silt swells as something swims beneath the surface. You catch a brief glimpse of a large, bulbous body with a writhing nest of tentacles sprouting from one end, and then it sinks back into the dust, leaving you wondering where it will next surface.''

Combat
The brown silt horror spies opponents while immersed in silt. Since it is blind and deaf, it uses synesthete to sense its prey. It always keeps at least one tentacle just an inch below the surface, to find out what is going on around it and to determine the Strength of its prey and the best time to attack. The silt horror tries to dominate creatures that are too strong to fight physically.

A character with a slashing weapon can make a sunder attempt to sever a silt horror's tentacles. Each tentacle has 9 hp and severing a tentacle deals 4 damage to the silt horror. Tentacles grow back at a rate of one per month.

Description
The brown horror is a much feared form of silt horror, since it can psionically force its victims to come to it. Its body is not really brown, being more a dirty shade of white color. It only appears brown when seen against the pearly silt.

The brown horror is always hungry, and even attacks other silt horrors.

The brown horror is a loner, found only in the silt. It may live about 45 years and must eat at least once a month. Brown horrors are actually the offspring of cross breeding between white and gray horrors.
