The Dowagar are winged horrors that resemble large winged serpents with
constricting tails and great bat-shaped wings. The torso is that of a man
with four arms, each able to wield a separate weapon. The heads are a
nightmarish combination of a human face with the upper part of the face
elongated and stripped of flesh. The upper jaws fit over the lower part so
that the great fangs are not in the way when biting. Two jagged horns each
2 feet long protrude from the forehead of the Dowagar.
Combat: The Dowagar are able to handle a weapon in each of its four arms. Due to
the "Multi-attack" feat their attacks with the secondary arms have only a
-2 penalty.
Ability Damage - Strength (Su): The touch of a Dowagar deals 1d4 points of strength drain to a living foe.
A successful Fortitude Save (DC=15) prevents the ability damage. A
creature's body becomes comatose if reduced to strength 0 by a Dowagar.
Darkness Deflection (Su): While the Dowagar remains enshrowded in darkness it gains the benefit of
a Blur spell, thus giving it a 20% miss chance in combat.
Fear Aura (Su): Any creature within 30 ft. of the Dowagar must make a Will Save (DC = 17)
or flee as if effected by a Fear spell for 1d12 rounds.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the Dowagar must hit with its tail attack. If it
gets a hold it deals automatically tail damage each round (and the victim
is subject to the ability damage ability as well).
Light Vulnerability (Ex): The Dowagar has a vulnerability to light with
intensity higher than a Light-spell. It receives a -1 penalty on
attacks, armor class and saving throws
as well as skill checks. This last as long as the Dowagar remains in the
light.
Silence (Ex): Dowagar are permanently surrounded by a 10 ft. globe of
Silence. It may repress or reactivate this ability as a free action.
Spell-Like Abilities (Ma): At will - Darkness, Gaseous Form, See Invisibility, Silence.
These abilities are as the spells as cast by a 15th level Sorceror (DC =
11 + spell level)
In the Spheres: These horrors are luckily very rare in the spheres but they do exist.
They are mostly encountered near portals to the Negative Material Plane
and near death worlds. They are quite common in the following spheres:
Shadowspace, Stormspace, Charspace and Coldspace.
