description: The sleek, dark niliths resemble hairless, emaciated tree sloths. These
  creatures are intensely dangerous and fearsome, with red glowing eyes, wicked claws,
  and mouths full of needlelike teeth. Niliths feed off the emotions, fears, and flesh
  of the living, and folktales posit that those who have nightmares of these creatures
  are fated to one day be eaten by them. Niliths draw intense joy from tormenting
  sapient creatures, often focusing their predations on the pious and the just, from
  whom they draw forth their most basic fears and worst thoughts and revel in their
  victims' subsequent terror. More often than not, these despicable manipulators wish
  to drive their victims into madness and even to suicide. Most niliths lack the patience
  to spend too much time fully tearing down an individual, and when a nilith tires
  of its current plaything and becomes bored with its particular thoughts and fears,
  it murders the quarry before feeding on its flesh and moving onto the next victim.

  description: '**Requirements** The nilith has a creature grabbed. **Effect** The
    nilith reaches into the mind of the grabbed creature and implants disjointed images
    of the victim''s worst fears and nightmares. The grabbed creature takes 6d6 mental
    damage (DC 31 basic Will save). On a critical failure, the target is also affected
    as though by *feeblemind*, and it must attempt a second Will save against that
    effect.'
