Anophilex
CREATURE 11The sight of blood is frightening proof of another's suffering, and when that blood is one's own, that fear can turn to blinding terror. Such are the horrors that the skittering, constantly bleeding anophilex sahkil revels in. With a glistening, spiderlike body covered in pulsing sacs of blood caught amid tangles of thorny vines, an anophilex's head is a freshly skinned skull with sharp fangs and patches of long black hair pulled back to tangle amid the thorns of their bodies. As an anophilex moves, their thorns rip and tear at their bloody blisters and bloated organs, yet the bleeding only flows back along their body to form new thorny lengths in a constant recreation that gives off an unsettling, gurgling susurrus. An anophilex has little patience for subtlety or manipulation, preferring to skitter through or flap above battlefields, among refugees, or amid any area where the wounded gather, so they can spread fear and drink the wounded's crimson pain.
About Sahkils
Sahkils are fiends associated with primal fears and phobic terrors that haunt mortal minds. They hail from the depths of the Ethereal Plane and serve sinister demigods known collectively as tormentors, such as Charg himself. For more information about sahkils, see page 274 of Pathfinder Monster Core 2.
An anophilex's level is considered 2 lower for the purpose of being conjured by the Binding Circle ritual (and potentially other rituals, at the GM's discretion), but it is always free to attack or leave instead of negotiate unless the primary caster's check is a critical success.
30 feet. The sight and sound of the anophilex's constantly bleeding body fills non-sahkils with fears that their own blood wants to flow and surge from their veins as well. Creatures taking persistent bleed damage become Frightened 1 when they enter the aura or start their turn in the aura.
When the anophilex uses a jaws strike against a creature that's taking persistent bleed damage, they drink the blood. The creature must succeed at a DC 30 Fortitude save or become Enfeebled 1 (Enfeebled 2 on a critical failure). The anophilex becomes Quickened on the following round, and can use the extra action to Stride or Strike.
The sahkil moves from the Universe to the Ethereal Plane or vice-versa. While in the Ethereal Plane, they're unable to affect anything in the Universe, and they cannot be seen by beings or abilities in the Universe, unless these have an ability that can gaze into the Ethereal Plane. While on the Material Plane the inverse is true for anything on the Ethereal Plane. A summoned sahkil can't use Skip Between.
The anophilex twists their body into a knot, causing their thorns to pierce their body so that unholy blood sprays out in a 30-foot emanation. Non-sahkil creatures in this area take 12d6 spirit damage (DC 30 basic Will save). The anophilex can't Spray Vile Blood again for 1d4 rounds.
