Hives of these skittering monsters haunt the lowest reaches of the Darklands, competing with cave worms and other subterranean horrors for food and resources. A gogiteth is rarely seen alone, as these oversized vermin learned long ago that the best means of survival is sticking close to others of their own kind. Even the haughty drow know to seek cover when a gogiteth is spotted, for where there is one, a swarm is sure to follow. Gogiteths make a clacking sound as they move about. The joints in their many legs pop and crack with each movement, though they can suppress this sound voluntarily so that they can hunt without giving away their presence. The odd creatures can also make a high-pitched whistling sound that echoes throughout the caverns where they live. Some Darklands natives report that groups of gogiteths sometimes join together in eerie, discordant songs. Gogiteths'' alien anatomies have inspired no shortage of speculative origin stories. Some believe they are the result of a fleshwarping experiment gone horribly wrong. Others think they may be related in some way to the Dominion of the Black—possibly the distant cousins or some strange exile of that alien entity; according to this mythos, once they made their way to this planet, the gogiteths crawled into the depths of the earth, shying away from the blazing sun above. Gogiteths are a menace to every other denizen of the Darklands. Drow and duergars in gogiteth-infested regions of Sekamina or Orv frequently organize hunting parties to eradicate the terrors, even calling for temporary truces with unlikely allies in times when a gogiteth presence must be addressed. Since even an average gogiteth hive can host up to two dozen of the horrors, missions to eradicate them when they become established are dangerous quests indeed. **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 30' hp: 250 hp_misc: null immunities: null items: null knowledge_checks: dc: 30 skills: - Occultism languages: - Undercommon - (can't speak) level: 12 melee: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 3d10+12 type: piercing name: jaws plus_damage: - formula: null type: Improved Grab to_hit: 26 traits: null - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 3d6+12 type: piercing name: leg plus_damage: null to_hit: 26 traits: - agile - reach 10 feet name: Gogiteth perception: 21 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: None critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: The gogiteth can move at its full Speed while it has a creature grabbed in its jaws, bringing the grabbed creature along. effect: null effects: null failure: null frequency: null full_description: null generic_description: null name: Carry Off Prey range: null raw_description: '**Carry Off Prey** The gogiteth can move at its full Speed while it has a creature grabbed in its jaws, bringing the grabbed creature along.' requirements: null success: null traits: null trigger: null - action_cost: One Action critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: 3d6+12 bludgeoning, DC 32 effect: null effects: null failure: null frequency: null full_description: null generic_description: null name: Constrict range: null raw_description: '**__Constrict__** 3d6+12 bludgeoning, DC 32' requirements: null success: null traits: null trigger: null - action_cost: Two Actions critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: The gogiteth Strides three times.
