TACTICS

A mallor is a straightforward combatant in battle and charges directly at its opponents. Normally, it opens battle with burning hands and/or its fear gaze in hopes of affecting as many targets as possible. The mallor then attempts to move to melee range and touch the nearest spellcaster while using its touch of idiocy. Multiple mallors work in concert with one another; one often drawing the fire away from the others so they can charge in with their massive spears.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Fear Gaze (Su)

The infernal eyes of a mallor weaken the resolve of opponents peering into them. Creatures meeting its gaze must make a successful DC 22 Will save or flee in fear for 1d6 rounds. On a successful save, that opponent is immune to the fear gaze of that mallor for one day. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Foul Liquid (Su)

All liquids within 100 feet of a mallor automatically foul and become unsuitable for consumption or inhabitation (no save). Magical liquids in the area receive a DC 27 Fortitude save to avoid the effects. Creatures drinking fouled water must make a successful DC 27 Fortitude save or become nauseated for 1 minute. Aquatic creatures (or those that can breathe water) swimming in fouled water must make a Constitution check (DC 10, +1 per previous check) each round they remain in the area or begin suffocating.

A mallor can foul up to 20 gallons of liquid a day using this ability. Sentient- or liquid-based creatures (such as water elementals) must make a successful DC 27 Fortitude save or take 1d8 points of Constitution damage each hour they remain in the area. At Constitution 0, the creature’s liquid structure fouls and it dies. The save DCs are Constitution-based. A mallor can suppress or resume this ability at will as a free action.

Poison (Ex)

Claw—injury; save Fort DC 27; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d6 Strength; cure 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Constitution-based.
