description: 'Among the subtler of the alghollthu creations were the ugothols—also
|
|
known as faceless stalkers. These twisted beings used shapeshifting to infiltrate
|
|
settlements and assassinate key targets. They sowed discord and replaced leaders,
|
|
causing unwanted organizations to implode and bothersome people to lose face and
|
|
eventually disappear. Entirely terrestrial in nature, ugothols can easily extend
|
|
alghollthu plots above the waves for extended periods of time, giving their aquatic
|
|
masters enhanced reach into these unpleasantly dry realms. Today, most faceless
|
|
stalkers—like the less dangerous ulat-kinis—pursue programmed goals without the
|
|
guidance of alghollthu rule. Faceless stalkers prefer to live as close to the sea
|
|
coast as possible, although they are not aquatic creatures themselves. Most dwell
|
|
in tiny tribes in marshlands. Others live in the sewers of coastal towns.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By instinct, faceless stalkers seek to sow discord. They replace leaders in humanoid
|
|
societies, then guide infiltrated settlements down paths of destruction. Among humanoids
|
|
who have wicked tendencies, a faceless stalker can become a prominent trailblazer,
|
|
leading a group to new heights of depravity and violence. Inevitably, however, faceless
|
|
stalker infiltrators lead their followers to ruin. The ugothol eventually moves
|
|
on—either because its true nature is about to be discovered, or because it has despoiled
|
|
or devastated all local resources.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An ugothol gains nourishment only through its long, bloodsucking tongue. Their prey
|
|
bear distinctive triple puncture wounds near major arteries. Corpses bearing such
|
|
marks are typically the first clues found to uncover a faceless stalker''s presence,
|
|
though sometimes they are overlooked as marks belonging to a vampire or chupacabra.
