Dedalon

Embedded in the dedalon's body is their one most coveted item. It is usually a small object of negligible Bulk and is treated as if being worn by the demon.

When a dedalon suffers from a dehydrating effect or hasn't drunk any water-based fluids for 1 hour, they take 4d6 mental damage. They revert to their natural form, and their coveted item (see above) becomes visible. The dedalon can't use Change Shape or Retch Bilge Water until they've taken an action to ingest a mundane or magical liquid.

When another creature has possession of the dedalon's coveted item (see above), the dedalon takes 2d6 mental damage every round they don't use at least 1 action in pursuit of recovering it.

The dedalon takes on the appearance of a Medium humanoid. This doesn't change their Speeds or their attack and damage bonuses with their Strikes but might change the damage type their Strikes deal (typically to bludgeoning). They lose any unarmed attacks with the reach trait. The monster changes its shape indefinitely. It can use this action again to return to its natural shape or adopt a new shape. Unless otherwise noted, a monster cannot use Change Shape to appear as a specific individual. Using Change Shape counts as creating a disguise for the Impersonate use of Deception. The monster's tr

Requirements A creature within 25 feet is holding the dedalon's coveted item (see above)

The dedalon's body momentarily elongates, their arm snaking unnaturally toward the target. The dedalon makes a flogging arm Strike against the required creature. On a success, they can attempt to Disarm their coveted item from the required creature (increasing the degree of success by one if the Strike was a critical success). The Disarm attempt neither applies nor counts toward the dedalon's multiple attack penalty.

The dedalon vomits a 20-foot cone of tainted, sludgy bilge water. Each living creature in the area takes 13d6 poison damage (DC 33 reflex save). On a failure, the creature is also Sickened 1 (or Sickened 2 on a critical failure). The dedalon can't use Retch Bilge Water again for 1d4 rounds.

Trigger The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Improved Push in its damage entry Effect The monster attempts to Shove the creature. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the monster's multiple attack penalty. If Improved Push lists a distance, change the distance the creature is pushed on a success to that distance.
