Shoggoth
Strong-Willed (Ex) Unlike most oozes, a shoggoth has
a good Will save. It gains Improved Iron Will as a bonus
feat.
Tekeli-li (Su) As a free action, once per round, a shoggoth
can give voice to sounds and words sane life was not

meant to hear. Each creature in a 60-foot radius must
make a successful DC 24 Will save or be confused for
1d8 rounds, during which time the creature suffers a –4
penalty to saves against fear effects. A creature normally
immune to fear loses that immunity while affected by
tekeli-li. Each round a creature is affected, it takes 1d6
points of Wisdom damage. A creature that saves cannot
be affected by this shoggoth’s tekeli-li for 24 hours. This
is a sonic mind-affecting effect. The save DC is Charismabased.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Consume (Ex) This ability functions like swallow whole,
save that the shoggoth may consume a creature as a free
action at any time during its turn, not just at the start of

its turn. A creature that cuts its way out of a shoggoth
leaves no hole in the protoplasmic creature’s body.
Deadly Blow (Ex) If a shoggoth reduces a creature to
fewer than 0 hit points with a pseudopod attack, the
creature must make a successful DC 38 Fortitude save
or it is instantly slain as the shoggoth plucks off the
victim’s head, crushes its torso, or otherwise destroys the
creature’s body. The save DC is Strength-based.
Pseudopods (Ex) A shoggoth can attack with up to four
pseudopods in a round. As it attacks, it can decide as
a free action if the pseudopod inflicts bludgeoning,
piercing, or slashing damage.
