Sié Goluo
CREATURE 14Sié Goluo, sometimes referred to simply as Grandfather, is an ancient spirit that has kept watch over the peoples of the Mwangi Expanse for generations. Most believe he first appeared during the Age of Darkness to protect the Mwangi people from the worst dangers of the everlasting night. Bekyar storytellers claim he is older still, from a time before the first people walked Golarion. This immortal spirit has incarnated into multiple forms over millennia. In the oldest surviving tales, they say Sié Goluo looked like an ordinary-if oversized-ox, save for his nearly human-looking eyes. Most recently, people say he has the appearance of several different animals, but accounts vary on which animals make up his form.
When a traveling farmer is assailed by a deadly beast, or a small village faces the wrath of an advancing army, Sié Goluo manifests in whatever form will allow him to best defend them. There seem to be no geographical limitations on where he can manifest, as there are tales of him saving Mwangi adventurers as far spread as Tian Xia and Arcadia.
Sié Goluo ignores difficult terrain and doesn't trigger traps with his movement.
A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.
Creatures that receive these benefits become temporarily immune to them for 1 year.
Effect: Ancestral Response
When Sié Goluo is destroyed, he reforms, fully healed, at a location of his choosing anywhere on the Material Plane after 2d4 days. If every person of Mwangi descent rejects belief in Sié Goluo, the spirit is permanently destroyed.
Sié Goluo Strides twice, then makes a horn Strike. On a hit, Sié Goluo creates a shock wave that deals 4d12 force damage in a 30-foot cone (DC 34 basic Reflex save).
Creatures that fail their save are pushed away 5 feet (10 feet on a critical failure).
