Ability

Expel Infestation

The isqulug expels larvae from the hivemind in its head in a 30-foot cone. Creatures in this area take 6d10 piercing damage as the swarm feeds on their flesh (DC 30 basic Reflex save). Any creature that takes damage is exposed to isqulugia. The isqulug becomes stupefied 1 for 1d4 rounds, during which it can't Expel Infestation.

Host Scent

An isqulug can precisely sense any creature infected with isqulugia within 30 feet, and knows the current stage of the disease.

Ability

Malleability
