Angoyang
Level 14Attacks
Abilities
The angoyang can imprecisely sense the location of any creature within 1 mile that has previously come in contact with the angoyang's fur.
The angoyang has an automatic result of 47 to Deception checks and DCs to appear as a cat.
The angoyang opens its mouth and drops its innocent disguise, releasing its monstrous tentacles and letting out a blood-curdling scream directed at a single target that it can see to deal 8d10 mental damage. Only the target of this ability can hear this scream. The target must succeed at a DC 30 will save as the sound tears through their mind. Critical Success The target takes no damage and is immune to Silent Yowl for 24 hours. Success The target takes half damage. Failure The target takes full damage and is Frightened 1. Critical Failure The target takes double damage and is Frightened 3.
The angoyang lets out a small meow and slowly blinks twice at a single creature. The target must attempt a DC 31 will save. On a critical success, the target is unaffected and immune to Slow Blink for 24 hours. Otherwise, the creature is overcome with the urge to pet the angoyang's silken fur, becoming Fascinated. If the angoyang attacks the creature, the creature can attempt a new save at the beginning of their next turn.
Requirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained Effect If used after a Strike, the monster attempts to Grapple the creature using the body part it attacked with. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty. The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.
Description
Angoyangs resemble white cats with black stripes like those of a tiger. They have beautifully silken fur, piercing blue eyes, and long fluffy tails. Yet, far from the picturesque feline companions they appear to be, angoyangs are actually terrifying beasts capable of peeling back the fleshy layers of their face to reveal a mass of long, toothed tentacles.
Although most cats instinctively avoid areas where angoyangs roam, the unlucky felines who do encounter this creature are invariably entangled in the monster's toothy tentacles and devoured. In cities and towns where angoyangs reside, cat owners may find that their beloved pets have gone missing only to soon have a fluffy black-and-white cat coincidentally appear at their doorstep, looking up at them with wide eyes and mewing adorably. Angoyangs almost never attack their caretakers, who they see as loyal servants that feed, clean up after, and pamper them, and the creatures protect the people in their household from any would-be intruders. However, a caretaker who mistreats or neglects their angoyang ward is often met with a grisly fate. More than one coroner or gravedigger has inadvertently inherited an angoyang after being assigned to clean up the mutilated remains of a previous "owner."
