The bilebearer takes its name from its eponymous bile, a putrid substance that oozes from gill-like folds in its colorful, bulging neck. Bilebearers coat their weapons with the viscous substance or secrete a concentrated dose that suffuses the air around them and disables foes. A bilebearer''s neck bulges with folds of scaled flesh that extend almost to the creature''s shoulders, containing its namesake bile productions glands inside. These folds expand and contract with each breath, and each fold has a vertical line of muscled pores that gradually exudes the thick substance, providing a perpetual supply for coating weapons. Bilebearers'' necks also contain inflatable bladders, which they can quickly pressurize to expel a blast of vaporized bile in a noxious, overwhelming cloud. Bilebearers serve their clutches by kidnapping or slaying specific enemies. They frequently accompany their kin, particularly xulgath skulkers, to raid rival clutches or intercept foes. A bilebearer''s mode of attack typically involves sneaking in, overwhelming any guards with a noxious blast of bile, and then turning their attention to the primary target. The xulgath either shreds the rapidly weakening victim on the spot or drags them away for future violence. **__Recall Knowledge - Humanoid__ (__Society__)**: DC 16' hp: 30 hp_misc: null immunities: null items: - dagger (2) knowledge_checks: dc: 16 skills: - Society languages: - Draconic - Undercommon level: 2 melee: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 1d4+4 type: piercing name: dagger plus_damage: - formula: null type: xulgath bile to_hit: 12 traits: - agile - finesse - versatile S - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 2d4+4 type: piercing name: jaws plus_damage: - formula: null type: xulgath bile to_hit: 10 traits: null - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 1d6+4 type: slashing name: claw plus_damage: - formula: null type: Grab to_hit: 10 traits: - agile name: Xulgath Bilebearer perception: 6 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: Two Actions critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: null effect: All adjacent creatures must attempt a DC 18 Fortitude save.
