Sinmold

Sinmolds arise from the corruption wrought by Treerazer machinations. As the land transforms, it attracts souls bound for the Outer Realms. These souls coalesce bodies out of fungal slime, birthing amorphous fiends that ravenously hunt for more biological matter using club-like pseudopods or whiplike tendrils that can slice with ease through meat and bone alike.

Desperation Vulnerability Sinmolds are aware that they're in a vulnerable state as formless “newborn fiends” and are desperate to become stronger before they become prey to more powerful demons. Whenever the sinmold is in a combat encounter and ends its turn without dealing damage to another creature, the sinmold takes 3d6 mental damage and becomes frightened 1.Digestion (healing) The first time in a round when the sinmold damages a creature with Engulf, the sinmold immediately restores Hit Points equal to the damage dealt, gaining Hit Points in excess of its maximum as temporary Hit Points that last for 1 hour. As long as the sinmold possesses these temporary Hit Points, its surface hardens, and its AC increases to 30.

Sidebar - Advice and Rules Demonic Transformation

A sinmold who has devoured many creatures over a period of 1 to 2 weeks hardens their exterior into a cocoon and metamorphosizes into a demon. This transformation takes 3 days, during which time the sinmold is unconscious, increases their AC to 37 and maximum Hit Points to 400, and gains Hardness 10. Sinmolds look for a safe place to transform, such as an underground shelter or a dense treetop canopy, though some simply eat until they cocoon. The sins the soul committed in life determine the demon that a sinmold becomes, so the resulting form can become higher or lower level, as determined by the GM.
