Umbraex
CREATURE 21An umbraex appears at first glance to be a massive, majestic bird, much like a phoenix. Instead of compassion and warmth, however, it seethes with cold and hate. The umbraex is among the largest of the nihilistic undead called darvakkas.
A creature with greater darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. A creature with greater darkvision can see through even forms of magical darkness.
Lifesense allows a monster to sense the vital essence of living and undead creatures within the listed range. The sense can distinguish between the vitality energy animating living creatures and the void energy animating undead creatures, much as sight distinguishes colors.
This monster regains the listed number of Hit Points each round at the beginning of its turn. Its Dying condition never increases beyond Dying 3 as long as its regeneration is active. However, if it takes damage of a type listed in the regeneration entry, its regeneration deactivates until the end of its next turn. Deactivate the regeneration before applying any damage of a listed type, since that damage might kill the monster by bringing it to Dying 4.
When an umbraex is destroyed, its body discorporates into fine ash before being restored, fully healed, 1d4 rounds later. An umbraex can't use this ability as long as its remains are within an area consecrated to a good deity or an area of bright light. The umbraex can't use Ashen Rise again for 1 day.
40 feet. Umbraex leak entropy and corruption from their very being. A living creature entering or starting its turn in the aura takes 8d6 void damage with a DC 42 basic Fortitude. If it fails, it's also Enfeebled 1 for 1 minute and pulled 10 feet toward the vanyver.
A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.
