Its limbs are distributed so evenly across its body that it is all but impossible to tell which way the creature is oriented at any given time. Few who witness the quelaunt linger on its alien looks for long though, as the most pressing concern quickly becomes the invasion of their minds, as the quelaunt sows doubt, sorrow, and rage. This monstrosity not only delights in the negative emotions of its prey, but feeds on them, gaining strength and sustenance from their dismay. For the quelaunt, no act is too terrible or cruel to inflict on its victims, since the more a creature suffers, the more the quelaunt feasts. Quelaunts are known to associate with other aberrant horrors, including brain collectors and other creatures associated with the Dominion of the Black. However, the more prevalent theory paints them as more alien—perhaps invasive beings from another dimension of pure thought and feeling—and claims that in their natural state they have no physical bodies at all. Few dare speculate further; the only known autopsy of a quelaunt resulted in the researcher''s suicide just days afterward and all the notes were mysteriously destroyed. Whatever secrets there are to be unlocked in the anatomy of these bizarre monsters are apparently important enough to warrant great protection from quelaunts, even after death. **__Recall Knowledge - Aberration__ (__Occultism__)**: DC 34' hp: 305 hp_misc: null immunities: null items: null knowledge_checks: dc: 34 skills: - Occultism languages: - Aklo - (can't speak any language) - telepathy 100 feet level: 15 melee: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 3d8+12 type: slashing name: claw plus_damage: null to_hit: 30 traits: - agile - magical - reach 10 feet name: Quelaunt perception: 29 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: None critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: 'The quelaunt can cast the following cleric domain spells as 8th-level occult innate spells at will without spending Focus Points: __blind ambition__, __captivating adoration__, and __delusional pride__.' effect: null effects: null failure: null frequency: null full_description: null generic_description: null name: Emotional Focus range: null raw_description: '**Emotional Focus** The quelaunt can cast the following cleric domain spells as 8th-level occult innate spells at will without spending Focus Points: __blind ambition__, __captivating adoration__, and __delusional pride__.' requirements: null success: null traits: null trigger: null - action_cost: Three Actions critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: The quelaunt casts up to three spells chosen from its at-will innate spells and its emotional focus spells. effect: null effects: null failure: null frequency: null full_description: null generic_description: null name: Emotional Frenzy range: null raw_description: '**Emotional Frenzy** [Three Actions] The quelaunt casts up to three spells chosen from its at-will innate spells and its emotional focus spells.' requirements: null success: null traits: null trigger: null - action_cost: One Action critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: null effect: The quelaunt feeds on the emotional unrest of a single creature within 30 feet that's under a harmful emotion effect.
