Scarlet Walker

During the height of Thassilon's power, agents of Runelord Karzoug and Runelord Sorshen often called scarlet walkers to Golarion from Leng. Although these elephant-sized monstrosities largely despise other inhabitants of Leng, some swallow their pride to work alongside the denizens of Leng or Leng ghouls in exchange for passage into the waking world.

Blood-Draining Gaze (aura, necromancy, occult, visual) 20 feet. When a living, non–scarlet walker creature ends its turn in the aura, it must attempt a DC 17 Fortitude save to prevent thin streams of blood from streaming from its eyes and into the eyeless pits in the scarlet walker's face. On a failed save, the victim becomes drained 1 (drained 2 on a critical failure) and sickened 1 from the pain.No Breath The scarlet walker doesn't breathe and is immune to effects that require breathing (such as an inhaled poison).

Sidebar - Related Creatures Pools of Blood

In the ragged valleys and badlands of their home plane, Leng, scarlet walkers build grisly cities of braided flesh and coagulated blood. There, they spend their days gathering and discussing the values and uses of all types of blood and meat. Some who have looked upon the roiling blood pools of Leng whisper of similarities to the Everdawn Pool and wonder if these creations were the true inspirations for the infamous runewells of Thassilon.
