TACTICS

During Combat Aravax focuses on the feeble and weak-willed, but gladly attacks any foes he can reach. If he inflicts paranoia on an enemy in the middle of his attack routine, he moves his additional attacks to other targets.

Morale Aravax refuses to relinquish any moments of freedom and he doesn’t retreat under any circumstances.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Paranoia (Su)

Creatures damaged by Aravax must make a DC 16 Will save or fall prey to overwhelming and violent paranoia. For one round an afflicted creature treats all allies as enemies, no longer provides flanking, and makes all possible attacks of opportunity not targeting Aravax. On its actions, a paranoid creature uses whatever is in hand to attack the nearest target who is not Aravax, gaining a +2 morale bonus to both attack and damage if the target has been known to them for over a month; if unarmed, the paranoid creature makes an unarmed attack that does not provoke attacks of opportunity instead.

ECOLOGY

Environment any (ruins, underground)
Organization solitary
Treasure double

A scion of malice, avarice, greed, and hatred, Aravax is a spiritual creature often interred by societies that survive his arrival. When left to his own devices on the Material Plane and freed from banishment or imprisonment, he accrues followings of cutthroats and uses them to send entire nations (and sometimes continents) into war by luring diplomats together and inciting bloodbaths.

Aravax is 10 feet tall but weighs only 200 (very solid) pounds.
