| Properties | When a victim is hit by a tentacle, and their strength score is less than fifteen, that tentacle will adhere to the individual. When three of the dharculus' tentacles attach in this way, the victim is dragged into the Ethereal PLane if they fail a save versus Death magic. Here, in its home environment, the dharculus can snack in safety, bringing its deadly bite to bear upon its victim, for 2d10 damage per attack. Here the player may have a chance of defeating the creature upon its home plane, but in doing so, may leave themselves marooned. A resourceful PC can use the tentacles still attached to the Prime Material to return home. These however do not last long, and could leave one stranded anyway. These creatures have an utterly alien pysiology, and it is not entirey sure how, or even if, these creature reproduce. |

| Description | |
| Just extract the erf file to NWN->erf, and import to your own module. Instructions on how to use the Dharculus are in the erf, and it is very easy and straight-forward. If you would like to see the Dharculus in action, just put the demo module in your NWN->modules. And load it up. The dharculus are swimmers of the border ethereal; however, they have a singular ability to insert their mawed tentacle ends into the Prime Material Plane. These tentacles appear as a swarm of blind eel like creatures sliding through the very air in a deadly school. These are merely the protruding tentacle tips of the actual creature. Following the multiple tentacles into the border ethereal, one would find that they fuse into a single braid, a thick and ridged wormlike tube forming the main body of the creature. The poserior end of the cylindrical body loops back towards the front, ending in a huge, drooling maw, filled with razor-sharp teeth. | |
