Soul Glutton

In the mist-choked fens and smoke-clogged ruins of Abaddon dwell creatures made of solid vapor whose roiling bodies drift among the fogs and effluvia of that wasted realm. Among the most unsettling of those are soul gluttons: drifting, ravenous monstrosities whose bodies shift and pulse like mist, yet are clammy and all too solid to the touch. While a soul glutton’s favored meal is (naturally) souls, they eagerly attack the living to feed upon their life essence, gulping down the souls as they perish.

Soul gluttons are particularly delighted to be drawn to worlds within the Universe, for here the souls are of a much wider variety of flavors than the twisted, tormented shades that populate Abaddon. A soul glutton’s eagerness to feed on worldly souls makes them notoriously difficult to control when conjured—but a promise to let them free upon the world after performing a relatively small service is often enough to secure their fleeting loyalty to a short-lived cause.

Soul Gorge [two-actions] (concentrate, death, divine, manipulate) The soul glutton casts mind reading on a dying creature (or the corpse of a creature that died no more than 24 hours ago). If a dying creature fails its save, it must immediately attempt a recovery check. If the creature dies as a result of this check (or if the target was a fresh corpse), the soul glutton consumes a significant portion of the creature's soul and restores 30 Hit Points, gaining any Hit Points in excess of its maximum as temporary Hit Points that last for 24 hours. A creature slain in this way can be returned to life normally once the soul glutton that killed it has been slain, otherwise any attempt to restore life requires a DC 15 flat check for success.Soulscar (divine, emotion, fear, mental) The soul glutton's claw Strikes affect incorporeal creatures with the effects of a ghost touch property rune and scar the soul. The first time in a round that a creature is damaged by a soul glutton's claw Strike, it must succeed at a DC 30 Will save or become frightened 2 (plus doomed 1 on a critical failure).

These creatures have an unnerving affectation—they enjoy knowing those they feed upon, and before consuming a soul will often take time to converse with it while it still lives, or via talking corpse if the creature is already dead. Conversations with healthy creatures hold very little interest to soul gluttons, as life tends to distort the truths they enjoy hearing about. To a soul glutton, the greatest truths can be learned by reading the mind of a creature at the moment it passes away.
