Baatamidar

Baatamidars are drawn to destroy planar communities on the fringes where the Outer Planes touch the chaos of the Maelstrom. They resemble floating blobs of undulating, prismatic ooze with four quivering tentacles and dribbles of oily slime that always drip upwards.

Proteans are immune to the unrelativity field. The baatamidar can suppress this aura or activate it again as a free action.

If the baatamidar subsequently uses the Improved Grab action, it can Grab any number of creatures it hit with Writhing Arms.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Making Allies of Enemies

Baatamidar represent a tangible and imminent crisis to planar communities. When a baatamidar drifts into a region, locating and defeating it becomes a top priority for leaders of any alignment. Thus, celestial and infernal commanders alike make defeating baatamidars a priority, sometimes even joining together to exterminate the common threat.
