description: These batlike monstrosities inhabit the nooks and crevices of the Darklands,
  where they hang from stalactites and swoop down on unsuspecting prey. Though they
  are completely sightless, deculis possess rudimentary nerves in their skulls that
  allow them to detect the presence of infrared light—information they use to locate
  potential food and threats. They are deadly hunters, thanks largely to their magical
  ability to manipulate the ebb and flow of shadows. Deculis prefer to feed upon the
  warm blood of freshly killed prey, but they can subsist on carrion if they have
  to.

  description: '**Frequency** once per day; **Effect** The deculi creates an extradimensional
    space adjacent to itself in any 10-foot-by-10-foot area of darkness and enters
    it. To non-deculis, the extradimensional space looks like an ordinary area of
    darkness (though effects such as *true seeing* can see through this illusion).
    The deculi''s infrared vision functions normally between this extradimensional
    space and the area outside its confines, allowing the deculi to sense what is
    going on around it, and its innate *darkness* spell also extends to the area around
    the shadow sanctuary. Attacks cannot be made into or from the extradimensional
    space. The deculi can Dismiss this effect to emerge from its shadow sanctuary,
    but the space it emerges into must be in darkness and must be unobstructed. If
    the area is obstructed, the deculi is shunted to the nearest available space and
    takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage per 5 feet shunted. If the area overlaying the shadow
    sanctuary becomes illuminated by magical light, the extradimensional space can
    no longer be accessed and the deculi is trapped within until the area is once
    again in darkness. The deculi can try to extinguish a magical light effect obscuring
    its sanctuary once per day by attempting to counteract the light effect with its
    *darkness* innate spell. If a deculi dies (including from hunger, thirst, or asphyxiation)
    while within the extradimensional space, the shadow sanctuary immediately ends
    and the deculi''s corpse is expelled. If the area is illuminated, the corpse is
    not expelled until the sanctuary entrance is in darkness once again.'
