Paramite<\/strong>
CR 3 N Magical Beast<\/strong>
This eyeless creature\u2019s head is shaped like a hand, with three clawed appendages above its mouth, one on each side, and one below. It walks on four legs, its forelimbs larger and more muscular than its hind limbs, each tipped with a single claw.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paramites are forest dwelling carnivores found on alien planets. Their ecology is somewhere between that of a giant spider and a hyena\u2014they are social ambush predators that typically hunt in groups. A single paramite is usually a scout for a larger group, and may attempt to lead curious passerby closer to the nest or to an ambush site where more paramites are waiting. Paramites are excellent climbers and fight three-dimensionally, attempting to surround prey from the trees. Their facial appendages are their primary weapon, being used to slash, jab and grab prey in order to crush and tear it apart. They have no teeth in their mouths, instead shredding their victims with their facial appendages before ingesting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paramites are sapient, albeit not very smart. They have their own language, a series of grunts, squeals and clicks, produced both vocally and through rubbing and snapping their fingers together. Paramites lair in the canopies of large trees or in the upper reaches of forest caves. There, they build nests out of webbing; their webs are not sticky, but sturdy and weatherproof, and last long enough to sometimes be utilized by other creatures once the paramites have moved on or died. Paramites do not collect treasure intentionally, but some useful or valuable items may be left as debris in their nests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special Abilities
Blindsight (Ex) <\/strong>A paramite\u2019s blindsight is based on hearing and scent. If it is deafened or in an area of silence<\/em>, or if it cannot smell, it is treated as having blindsense. If both are true, it is considered to be blind.
Expert Climber (Ex) <\/strong>A paramite\u2019s racial bonus to Climb checks is doubled to +16. It can climb on vertical surfaces or ceilings as if under the effects of a spider climb<\/em> spell.
Webbing (Ex) <\/strong>Although a paramite\u2019s webs are not sticky, they can be used to build structures. In addition, as long as a paramite starts a fall from a solid surface, it is treated as being under the effects of a non-magical feather fall<\/em> spell, as it uses a tether to lower itself to the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
