 ===== Overview =====

 Feared by wanderers and herders alike, a single Draelith can shadow a caravan for hours, never rushing—just adjusting its long, insectile gait until the final, precise strike.
-Exohumans have recorded only a handful of encounters with the Draelith, most of them during the exploratory expeditions of the [[beta_age|Beta Age]]. In one rare case, scientists from the [[last_frontier_university|Last Frontier University]] examined a dead specimen and proposed the controversial hypothesis that the Draelith’s design and physiology suggest an **off-world origin**, as its structure shares little in common with other known fauna of VOI 700 D. However, this remains only a hypothesis, since vast stretches of the Dark Side remain unexplored and could conceal lineages yet unknown.

 **Attacks**
-  * **Raptorial Lunge:** +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., 2d10+4 piercing. On hit, target must succeed on DC 15 STR save or be **restrained** (impaled/pinned) until end of its next turn.

   * **Rostrum Pierce:** +6 to hit, 1d8+4 piercing. Against restrained targets, deals an extra 1d8.
 **Special Abilities**
-  * **Infrasonic Pulse (Recharge 5–6):** 20-ft. radius tremor-aura. Creatures on the ground make a DC 14 CON save or become **disoriented** (disadvantage on attacks and Perception that rely on hearing/touch) until end of next turn.

   * **Seismic Blindfight:** Blindsight 60 ft. when in contact with ground; ignores visual obscurity and darkness while grounded.
   * **Statue Stillness:** Advantage on Stealth when motionless; creatures have disadvantage to detect it beyond 30 ft. in windy conditions.

   * **Terrain Clock:** Use wind strength and ground type as stealth modifiers; on bare basalt the Draelith is almost silent.
