Partly Hollow (Ex) An adult dark young is treated as
a creature one size category smaller than itself for
determining the effects of high winds.
Spells An adult dark young casts spells as a 10th-level
sorcerer, and can choose spells from the druid list in
addition to those from the sorcerer/wizard spell list. All of
these spells are arcane spells (and do not require divine
focus components) when cast.
Toxic Flesh (Ex) A dark young’s flesh is toxic if eaten.

Adult Dark Young Flesh—ingested; save Fort DC 21;
frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d2 Constitution
damage and 1 Wisdom drain; cure 2 consecutive saves.
A creature that eats dark young flesh is ten times as
likely to fertilize a partner or become pregnant during
intercourse for 24 hours after being affected by eating
dark young flesh. All children born or sired from such
couplings are Mythos satyrs, outer mutants, or other
strange horrors. The save DC is Constitution-based.
