"I took up residence in this house because your world allowed it, child. It belongs to me now, as does your father. If you do not believe me, ask him yourself."
——A Devourer
Devourers are evil undead monsters formed of necrotic essence, with twisted features that mock the mortals they seek to consume. These horrific undead appear as humanoids roughly 9 feet tall, gaunt, weighing from 400 to 500 lbs. This is where the similarities to other humanoids end, however. Within their chest is a cracked open rib cage with the effigy of another tiny, tortured creature writhing within. A Devourer lurks within the ethereal or astral planes, always on the peripheral of mortal vision, consuming the souls of those who trespass in their domain. With a swipe of their emaciated clawed hands, a Devourer will rip the spirit from a victim and store it within its body. The tiny being within the Devourer then takes on the appearance of the incapacitated individual, and the Devourer will draw from its tortured essence to inflict madness upon other enemies. If a soul remains within the hungering pit that is the Devourer’s stomach for too long, it will be drained into nothingness, destroyed for good.

+16 vs AC (ArN 4)
Trap Essence [Supernatural] • Advanced • Pot 1d8+7, MR No
4d10 + 17 (avg 39) Slashing damage
Melee Reach 10ft • One creature
The Devourer's claws rip into its target's very soul. On a hit, make a secondary attack +16 vs Will. On a hit, the target's soul is ripped from its body and trapped within the Devourer's ribs and suffers ongoing 1d6 Resolve Damage every 10 segments until it escapes [SE, ST 5d10 vs CHA]. While trapped by the Devourer, the target can take no actions except the Recovery Action, but generally aware of its surroundings as it peers out from behind the Devourer's rib cage. Meanwhile the target's body lies Helpless on the ground and may still be targeted by powers and attacks that do not target the Will defense (suffering damage as normal). When the target saves, its soul returns to its body immediately, provided the body remains intact. If the target's Resolve is reduced to 0 while within the Devourer, its soul is consumed and the target dies. If the body is destroyed before the target saves, its soul is trapped until it is consumed or the Devourer is destroyed. The Devourer may only trap the essence of one creature at a time.

Ghoulish Touch [Supernatural, Poison] • Advanced • Pot 1d8+7, MR No
Melee Reach 10ft • One creature

Maddening Touch [Supernatural, Mind-Affecting] • Advanced • Pot 1d8+7, MR No
Melee Reach 10ft • One creature
Channeling the very madness of the soul within, the Devourer reaches out to touch its opponent. ON a hit, the target is Confused [SE, ST 5d10 vs WIS].
