Once they have achieved such wisdom, they ask their neothelid masters why their task was impossible, often being told it was specifically to make them stronger and achieve this form. In order to do so, they hunt down philosophers and mystics, expanding their minds through their thoughts well all the while causing them to fall into madness. When this happens, they enter a manic insanity and forced to come to a greater contemplation. It forms when a seugathi realizes that the tasks it has been given are impossible to follow through on but wish to continue seving the neothelids. The seugathi savant is also a step above its fellows. CR 6 is not that high either which means a seugathi in a lot of situations could be a canvas monster, even it is one with a lot of perks from the get go.

All of these things only get an upgrade with the seugathi savant, which also gets to somewhat expand its spell list into the psychic realm.

This is a lot for a CR 6 creature, maybe even too much. This is not even including its most infamous tool, the aura of madness that constantly lingers around it and can confuse those near it and if not dealt with, have the possibility of making a creature lose their mind. Stack on top of that some mind-affecting spells which only improve after dropping the mind fog and a dispel magic which is always handy and the seugathi looks pretty decent at diverting foes and making room for an escape or simply incapacitating enough to give it room to kill. Even without such tools at their disposal, a seugathi already has a decent array of spells that cap off with mind fog to whittle down a foe’s psyche for its infamous aura and phantasmal killer for a targeted removal. In fact, not only can seugathi wield magic weapons with ease but they have the compatibility to equip and utilize any magical device with ease and have a certain preference towards wands and staves. With a manipulatable tail, a seugathi can hold onto weapons that can make them far fiercer combatants than a simple bite and tail whip combo and boy oh boy can they wield magic weapons with expertise. But hopefully as you stick around you’ll see the minor reasons why I considered the seugathi just a slight step above.Ī seugathi is packed with all of the gear to irritate the party for a long time and the capability and potential to do even more than fits into their stat block. Their creators certainly wouldn’t be happy. And so it seems odd, in some ways, to have the seugathi, minions to the neothelids to rank higher on a list of Big Bads than their creators. The ugothol are lower than their creator, the neothelid are lower than their creator (yes this is a spoiler if you look into it but a spoiler most people can guess anyway). Nowhere else on this list do we have a creature that was created by another aberration ranking higher than its creator. The reason being that the seugathi are in a lot of ways, lesser neothelid. You remember how I said that the neothelid was difficult to place and an entry down the line might explain why. Ok so I have to explain myself on this one, as this might be blaspheming to some people.

Once again we come to another sentient worm creature and we’re still not finished with that trend. It also has a singular variant called the faceless hulk for disguising as large sentient creatures, which doppelfangers can’t manage, and this larger form gains the additional function to expand like a sponge and push people away. This still leaves them with a fairly manageable canvas of CR 4 for further classing or advancing. It does gain greater benefits from a surprise attack however and gains a couple added benefits including an additional bonus against spells or abilities that deal with senses on account of not having a face, some limited damage reduction, a very slow blood drain ability, and the constant ability to know and speak all languages which lets it bypass the will save doppelgangers need to work with to become an effective information gatherer. As a basic structural analysis, the ugothol is a doppelganger that goes a step down in terms of its abilities mainly because it needs a long time to manifest a new disguise and this causes it pain, though apparently not enough to bother it much. The ferocious foes of the Pathfinder Bestiary come alive on your tabletop with this collection of more than 375 creature pawns for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game or any tabletop fantasy RPG! Printed on sturdy cardstock, each double-sided pawn contains a beautiful full-color image of a nasty monster from the Pathfinder Bestiary.Full disclosure, I love the ugothol.
