This bald, long-bearded dwarf has dull gray skin, low arching brows, and eyes that seem to absorb rather than reflect the light.
Claggett is a rarity, a duergar worshipping the demon lord of the sky. An adventurer at heart, he joined Jurbarkus for many vile schemes and came to respect the high priest and the cult of Pazuzu. Claggett is balding but keeps his remaining hair and beard tidy and neat. His eyebrows arch incredibly high, accenting his dirty, yellow eyes.

Death Throes (Su) When a dark stalker is slain, its body combusts in a flash of white-hot flame. This acts like a fireball that deals 3d6 points of fire damage to all creatures within a 20-foot-radius burst. A DC 15 Reflex save halves this damage. A dark stalker’s gear and treasure are unaffected by this explosion. This save is Constitution-based.
Poison Use (Ex) Dark stalkers are skilled in the use of poison and never risk accidentally poisoning themselves. Like their diminutive kin, the dark creepers, dark stalkers use black smear poison on their weaBlack Smear—injury; save Fort DC 15; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d2 Str; cure 1 save. The poison DC is Constitution-based.pons and generally carry six doses on them.
See in Darkness (Su) A dark stalker can see perfectly in  darkness of any kind, including that created by deeper darkness.
This tall humanoid's pale brow and black, soulless eyes are all that can be seen above a black scarf wrapped around its face.
The strange and mysterious dark stalkers are the undisputed leaders of dark folk society. Deep underground, these creatures dwell in strange villages (some rumors suggest entire cities) built of stone and fungus in remote caverns where they are served and worshiped by their coarser, diminutive kin, the dark creepers. Dark stalkers come to the surface rarely, but when they do it is on a mission, and with a force of creatures such that it never ends well for those they seek to rob or torment.  Dark stalkers are tall, frail humanoids with incredibly pale skin. They constantly wear multiple layers of dark cloth and black leather armor, yet unlike their lesser kin, a dark stalker's garb is always clean and spotless. Each dark stalker carries a pair of short swords- they prefer these weapons to all others. Dark stalkers are 6 feet tall and weigh 100 pounds.  In a fight, dark stalkers are not above sacrif icing lesser creatures, including dark creepers, to win the day or cover their retreat if things go poorly. They hate well-lit areas and always prefer to fight under the cover of deeper darkness. Dark stalkers rarely fight to the death if it can be avoided, preferring to slip away if things begin to look grim.  The origins of the dark stalkers and the dark creepers are shrouded in mystery, made more difficult to decipher by the fact that the dark stalkers do not keep records of their history. Many scholars believe that, just as the drow descended from elves, so too must the dark folk have descended from humanity, their eerie powers and spell-like abilities the result of generation upon generation of devotion to profane and sinister magic.  Alas, the truth of the race's history may never be known.

Poison Use (Ex) Drow are skilled in the use of poison and never risk accidentally poisoning themselves. Drow favor an insidious toxin that causes its victims to lapse into unconsciousness- this poison allows drow to capture slaves with great ease.

Smite (Su) Once per day, a whip priestess can make a single melee attack with a +4 bonus on the attack roll and a +9 bonus on the damage roll. She must declare the smite before making the attack.
Light Blindness (Ex) Abrupt exposure to bright light (such as sunlight or a daylight spell) blinds drow for 1 round. In addition, they take a –1 circumstance penalty on attack rolls, saves, and checks while operating in bright light.
This dark-skinned elf stands in a battle-ready pose, her hair silver and eyes white and pupilless.
About one out of every 20 drow is gifted with special powers from birth-the overwhelming majority of these exceptional drow are female, and as a result, drow society tends to be matriarchal in nature. These special births are engineered and encouraged among the ruling caste, and are far more likely to occur when the mother is of noble heritage. Strangely, the status of the father seems not to increase or decrease the chances of a child being born a drow noble. Common drow children born to nobles are usually put to death-sacrificed to one of the many demon gods to whom the drow offer worship. It is rare for a drow noble to be born to common parents, but those who are usually murder their parents or family before they come of age in order to hide the truth of their base upbringing and to ease the processes of joining one of their society's noble houses. Drow nobles are more powerful than the majority of their kin, and as such they quickly rise to power within their houses. Advancement through the hierarchy of a drow noble house is usually accomplished through a combination of assassination, seduction, and treachery, leading most drow in power to be overly paranoid. Drow Noble Characters Drow nobles are defined by their class levels-they do not possess racial Hit Dice. A drow noble's challenge rating is equal to her class level. Drow nobles possess all of the racial traits listed above for drow characters, plus the following. +4 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma, -2 Constitution. Noble drow are very agile, observant, and regal. These ability score modif iers replace the standard drow ability score modif iers. Spell Resistance: Drow nobles have spell resistance equal to 11 + their character level. Spell-Like Abilities: Drow nobles can cast dancing lights, deeper darkness, faerie fire, feather fall, and levitate each at will, and have detect magic as a constant spell-like ability. A drow noble can also cast divine favor, dispel magic, and suggestion once per day each. In some cases, a drow noble's spell-like abilities might vary, although the level of a particular spelllike ability does not. A drow noble's caster level for her spell-like abilities is equal to her charac

Poison Use (Ex) Drow are skilled in the use of poison and never risk accidentally poisoning themselves. Drow favor an insidious toxin that causes its victims to lapse into unconsciousness- this poison allows drow to capture slaves with great ease. Drow Poison-injury; save Fort DC 13; frequency 1/minute for 2 minutes; initial effect unconsciousness for 1 minute; secondary effect unconsciousness for 2d4 hours; cure 1 save. Although related to the elves, the drow are a vile and evil cousin at best. Sometimes called dark elves, these cunning creatures prowl the caves and tunnels of the world below, ruling vast subterranean cities through fear and might. Worshiping demons and enslaving most races they encounter, the drow are among the underworld's most feared and hated denizens.

Treasure OCTOPUS DIADEM
Slot head; Aura strong (indeterminate); CL 20th; Weight 3 lbs.
DESCRIPTION
The diadem resembles a golden octopus with eyes of sapphire. The octopus body is the size of a small cat, and the sapphires are massive, a profoundly dark blue that somehow seems miles deep. The diadem is a thing of unearthly beauty, clearly intended to be worn as a crown, with the curved tentacles swept gracefully around the wearer’s head to hold itself in place.
Before it was claimed by the Demon-Princess Teratashia, the diadem had been lost for eons, fashioned by some unknown and forgotten race of slaves to depict their master, an elder thing whose appearance was far more horrible than the image on the diadem would suggest. The dark paladin known as Priest-Killer discovered it and brought it to his dread mistress, who in turn gifted it to her high priestess among the dark stalkers of the Cyclopean Deeps in the City of Izamne. This high priestess was Rahir Tash.
This doomed, decadent creature wore the Octopus Diadem in her hair on the night of the great Annihilation. As the thousands of dark stalkers and creepers of her civilization were slaughtered and the streets of Izamne ran black with blood, the diadem soaked into itself the mystical power of a thousand deaths. The high priestess fled; a beckoning hand, the urgent offer of a hidden door; safety. She was never heard from again.
The Octopus Diadem has the following powers:
• 3/day—finger of death, fly
• 1/day—gate, blasphemy
The diadem’s wearer heals one point of damage per round, as well as one point of nonlethal damage. In addition the wearer is immune to bleed damage Only a spellcaster can survive wearing this crown; a nonspellcaster who dons the diadem immediately suffers 1d6 points of damage and must succeed on a DC 30 Fortitude save against instant death. The damage and saves are repeated each minute until the character dies or removes the crown.
Each time the diadem’s owner puts it to use (other than for regeneration or flying), there is a 1% chance that the powerful magic item sucks the user’s soul into it, immediately creating a being that is, effectively, a lich. (Use the skeletal champion template if the user is not 11th level).
Owning the diadem is a dangerous proposition, for it is claimed by the Demon-Princess Teratashia and sought by the Vessals of Isclaadra for their own demonic master.
DESTRUCTION
The Diadem cannot be destroyed. Its powers can be neutralized if it is sealed in stone and buried at the bottom of a deep ocean.

Discorporate Transformation (Su) A slowed creature struck by a Ossadogowah’s tentacles must succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save or be transformed into a mist-like substance. A discorporate creature is effectively paralyzed but is otherwise affected as if by the gaseous form spell for 1d4 rounds. An adjacent Ossadogowah can take a standard action to inhale a discorporate creature. The creature is sucked like air into the Ossadogowah’s lungs and takes 5d6 damage (no save). If the discorporate creature survives this damage, the Ossadogowah immediately coughs it out as a free action and the creature returns to its normal state, prone in any legal square adjacent to the Ossadogowah. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Slow (Su) A creature hit by a Ossadogowah’s tentacles is slowed as the spell for 2d4 rounds unless it succeeds on a DC 18 Will save. The save DC is Charisma-based.
This qlippothic creature has a massive body with leathery bat-wings. Despite having a very small wingspan, it is capable of slow flight. Its face is little more than eyes and a writhing mass of tentacles, with a great squid-like brain case at the back of the head.
The Ossadogowahs are elder organisms that were spawned, like the elder being Yiquooloome, from the seepage of raw Chaos-material into the Material Plane, deep beneath the earth in the Cyclopean Deeps. Centuries ago, Yiquooloome began removing some of the seepage and bringing the poisonous Chaos-material to its laboratory, where it shapes and constructs the Ossadogowahs. Ossadogowahs bear an uncanny resemblance to the being known as Cthulhu, which is the result of Cthulhu’s indirect influence on Yiquooloome’s dreams. Just as mad human cultists make statues of Cthulhu from its influence on their dreams, so did Yiquooloome — but Yiquooloome’s statues are made of Chaos-substance, and they are horridly and undeniably alive.
Despite the size of the brain case, Ossadogowahs are of average intelligence, in human terms, and utterly obedient to Yiquooloome’s will. It would be theoretically possible to derive the elder runes and complex spell traceries required to dominate the alien mind of a Ossadogowah, but thus far no one has succeeded in such an attempt. All such visionaries are dead or insane.

During Combat In battle, a nebunorne uses the tentacles from one “hand” and from the “face” as weapons. The other “hand” could be used, but ordinarily the qlippoths carry a tentacle-staff in this “hand,” as a weapon. The tentacle staff is an eight-foot rod of solidified mist, with a mass of tentacles at the top end, waving in the air as if floating in water. A nebunorne’s tentacle staff has stingers that deliver a qlippothic poison.

Constitution Damage (Ex) A creature pinned by a nebunorne takes 1d4 points of Constitution damage on each round the qlippoth maintains the pin unless it succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save.
Poison (Ex) The Bloat; type poison, injury; save Fortitude DC 20; onset 1 round; frequency 1/hour for 6 hours; effect 1d2 Dex damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. A creature affected by the bloat swells over the course of several hours to twice normal size. A creature reduced to 0 Dex by the bloat explodes into a pink mist that eventually dissipates, leaving nothing to raise or resurrect. Despite its qlippothic origin, the poison will respond normally to spells that affect ordinary poisons.
Hypnotic Voice (Su) A nebunorne can speak in hypnotic tones as a standard action. Any creature that hears a nebunorne’s voice must succeed on a DC 19 Will save or be paralyzed. The creature remains paralyzed for as long as the nebunorne dedicates a standard action each round to speaking, or the sound is blocked in some way. This is a sonic, mind-affecting effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Branching masses of tentacles made of some black, semi-solid matter extend from this cloaked qlippoth’s hood and sleeves. One mass of tentacles reaches outward from the hood, where a face ought to be, and other branching tentacles serve as long-fingered hands where they extend from the sleeves of the cloak. These tentacles wrap around a long staff with another mass of waving tentacles at one end. Most disturbing, perhaps, are the eight large tentacles, ten feet long, which writhe beneath the hooded figure as if its lower half were a massive octopus.
The terrifying nebunornes are mist-qlippoths in the service of the qlippoth prince Isclaadra. They are always found wearing hooded robes. Some scholars of qlippoth-kind — intrinsically unreliable as such individuals might be — propose that the hooded cloak is actually the substance of the qlippoth, and the rest merely an agglomeration of mist. All of the black tentacles, arms, face, and “legs” dissolve into trailing bands of dark mist at the ends. Their voices are like smooth silk, hypnotic and captivating.
The qlippoths drift slowly through the air like the mist-substance they are, but if they are in contact with the ground they can pull themselves forward along the ground using the suckers of their lower tentacles. When they can pull themselves in this fashion, they can move with astonishing speed.
