Adhesion (Ex) A tarry demodand exudes a thick tar-like substance that acts as a powerful adhesive, holding fast any creatures or items touching it. A tarry demodand automatically grapples any creature it hits with a claw attack. Opponents so grappled cannot get free while the tarry demodand is alive without removing the adhesive first. A tarry demodand has a +4 racial bonus on grapple checks due to its tarry secretions (already included in the CMB line in the statistics block). A weapon that strikes a tarry demodand is stuck fast unless the wielder succeeds on a DC 23 Reflex save. A successful DC 23 Strength check is needed to pry it off. The save DC and check DC are Constitution-based. Strong alcohol dissolves the adhesive. A pint of wine or a similar liquid weakens it, but the tarry demodand can still grapple normally. A tarry demodand can dissolve its adhesive at will, and the substance breaks down 1 minute after the creature dies.
Rage (Ex) A tarry demodand that takes damage in combat has a 50% chance of flying into a berserk rage the following round, clawing and biting madly until either it or its opponent is dead. It gains +4 Strength and –4 AC. The creature cannot end its rage voluntarily.
This lithe, toothy creature's jet-black skin looks like living tar, and ooze drips from the claws that cap its long arms.
Personality: This enigmatic creature resembles a tall, lumpy humanoid with tarry secretions and patches of grayish-black scales covering its hide. Its head is a conglomeration of bulgingeyed amphibiousness with a bony dragon snout and serrated horns. Batlike wings spring from its shoulders. The Broken One (his true name is unknown) is a strange by-blow from a liaison in the Outer Planes. When the disciples of Orcus began calling Lower Planar servitors to swell the ranks of their army for the coming battle, the Broken One reluctantly answered the summons as a mercenary. He served in the Battle of Tsar as reticent combatant and abandoned his masters when they chose to leave the city. His entire life has been spent in a state of disgrace over his unnatural existence, and he has always existed as a scorned loner. Because of his outcast status, he is unable to summon other demodands.
