Requirements Kerinelopas has fresh blood applied to a claw using Dab
Kerinelopas expends the blood on one claw to paint an illusion with the effects of one of the following spells: Blur, Illusory Creature, Illusory Disguise, or Illusory Object. The Paint action gains the traits of the spell it's reproducing, and Kerinelopas can Sustain a Spell on these effects. He uses a spell attack modifier of +20 and DC 28 for these effects, which are heightened to 5th rank.

Any effects produced by this ability have a +2 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and AC against the creature whose blood was used to Paint, and that creature takes a –2 status penalty to Perception checks and saves against it.
Description
Simultaneously enamored with the natural world yet too alien to survive in it, blood painters are eight-limbed artists who stalk, kill, and dismember in search of pigment and sustenance alike. Blood painter physiology can't digest typical food, so the creatures feed by harvesting blood and using it to paint and animate something edible.
When not on the hunt, blood painters seek out beautiful vistas, which they placidly admire via the eyes in the hands of their uppermost limbs and then reproduce on canvas. Exceptional art endlessly fascinates these creatures, and skilled dancers and painters alike occasionally escape the aberrations by creating a new work to trade for their lives. Blood painters jealously guard these works, and much of their treasure consists of art. Blood painters tend to mastermind the periodic theft of masterpieces.
