The creature must succeed at a DC 34 Will save or become stupefied 1 (stupefied 2 on a critical failure) for 1 week as their dreams are slurped away. If the creature becomes stupefied in this way, the natbakh regains 32 HP.

Those in the area recall shrieks like this in forgotten nightmares, and the memories of wounds suffered in dreams cause nauseating pain. Creatures in the area take 10d8 mental damage and must attempt a DC 34 Will save. The natbakh can't use Nightmare Screech again for 1d4 rounds.
Critical Success The creature takes no damage.
Success The creature takes half damage and is sickened 1.

Nightmare Eruptions
In places where the boundaries between Golarion and Leng are thin, such as the depths of the Kodar Mountains, natbakhs have a particularly horrifying method of entering the waking world. If they consume the dreaming persona of someone sleeping near such thin places, they can burst forth from that sleeper's body, killing them in life as well as in their dream, often leaving the now-dead dreamer's home in splinters before flying off to build a lair in the mountains. Such “nightmare eruptions” are rare, but it doesn't take many natbakhs to leave a mark in a region unprepared for their arrival.
