Grioth

Source Monster Core 2 pg. 178
Planets that drift out of orbit from their stars grow cold and lifeless as they float through the Dark Tapestry. Such wandering, dead worlds are coveted by the horrific grioths, who convert them into frigid planetary temples devoted to the Outer Gods and Great Old Ones. From these bastions of frozen darkness, grioths seek out new living worlds to tear away from their respective suns through forbidden rituals, a process often taking numerous generations.

A single grioth cultist typically leads a scouting party, who searches for a ruined or forgotten location on the fringe of a rural settlement to use as an incursion point. Over several generations, the grioth settlement will expand and subjugate surrounding cultures. Eventually, powerful grioths descend from the stars to begin the next stage of planetary conquest.

Grioths speak a language composed of trills and clicks. While capable of speaking other dialects, they do so in dry, raspy voices.
