Silt Horror, White

''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 white silt horror lies quietly below the silt. When it detects vibrations caused by beings moving through the silt, it surprises its prey, attacking with all tentacles at once. It will attack as soon as a single target is within range, even if the target is part of a larger group.

A character with a slashing weapon can make a sunder attempt to sever a silt horror's tentacles. Each tentacle has 16 hp and severing a tentacle deals 8 damage to the silt horror. Tentacles grow back at a rate of one per month.

Description
The white horror is the most common and usually the largest of the silt horrors. Its tentacles can grow up to 50 feet long. Its mouth is located near the air sac used to propel it and is not used in combat, because it waits until its food has suffocated before it begins to feed.

The white horror eats anything except other horrors. It can subsist for years on one meal, lying dormant underneath the silt. Its life expectancy is about 40 years, usually mating only once in its lifetime.

The white silt horror is found anywhere in silt basins and the Sea of Silt. It doesn't like the sun, and it waits for dark if it needs to move out of the silt.
