PFS StandardCaligni Hunter

Although caligni hunters are often pressed into leading their skulker kin, most hunters prefer to wander the Darklands or raid the surface free from those responsibilities. Their preferred assaults are usually done by solo caligni hunters or in small groups of two or three.

Source Monster Core pg. 48
Calignis lurk in subterranean cities, with each caligni growing into a specific role and form determined by supernatural influences in caligni society.

Saving Throw DC 16 Fortitude; Maximum Duration 6 rounds; Stage 1 1d6 poison (1 round); Stage 2 1d6 poison and creatures you can see only with darkvision are concealed from you (1 round); Stage 3 1d6 poison and creatures you can see only with darkvision are hidden from you (1 round)

Sidebar - Additional Lore The Caligni Legacy

The calignis are descendants of humans who, millennia ago, fled underground to escape a devastating cataclysm and begged for salvation from malevolent, shadowy demigods known only as the Forsaken. The Forsaken warped the refugees into tough survivors, but at a price: every caligni that dies transforms into energy as a scrap of their soul feeds the Forsaken. The Forsaken themselves later vanished despite these offerings, leaving shadowy proxies to shape calignis and their culture.
