Calikang

The calikangs are giant blue-skinned, six-armed guardians of ancient tombs and treasuries. Their unique physiologies enable them to absorb and manipulate electrical magic, as well as other energies. A calikang can live for 200 years—though it may further extend its life via suspended animation.

Suspended Animation (concentrate) By spending 5 minutes concentrating, the calikang can enter a state of suspended animation, freezing in place and becoming motionless but remaining aware of its surroundings. While in this state, the calikang gains a +4 status bonus to all Fortitude saves, does not age, and is immune to disease, inhaled toxins, poison, starvation, and thirst. The calikang can exit suspended animation as a free action. If it exits this state to attack, the calikang gains a +4 circumstance bonus to its initiative roll.

Defensive Stance A calikang gains a circumstance bonus to its AC equal to the number of its hands that aren’t wielding weapons, to a maximum of +4 (this bonus is already factored into this calikang’s stats). Energy Conversion (abjuration, arcane) Whenever the calikang is hit by an electricity spell or rolls a successful save against a spell that deals energy damage, it absorbs the energy. This heals the calikang for an amount of HP equal to quadruple the spell’s level, and recharges its Breath Weapon. A calikang can’t absorb its own spells this way.

The calikang can choose the damage type each time: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. Increase the die size to d8 if the calikang chooses electricity.Sixfold Flurry [two-actions] The calikang makes up to six fist Strikes. Each Strike can be against a different target. These attacks count toward its multiple attack penalty, which doesn’t increase until after all the attacks are complete.
