Caligni

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.
