Falajitax

[The falajitax is among the most bizarre creatures I’ve ever come across, and its abilities are directly inspired by the Makku folklore recounted in the link above. Which means yes, this is actually a monster that controls people by shoving its tail into their asshole and steering them like a puppet. Its water control abilities use the rules from Occult Adventures]

Falajitax CR 12 LE Aberration This immense snake has a body thicker than a man’s torso, colored with rainbow hues. Its head is like that of a flightless bird, although it is decorated with earrings and other jewelry.

Sinister masters of weather and water, the falajitax are monstrous snakes that use their elemental mastery to manipulate peoples and events. They are common to tropical seasonal forests, preferring those close to drier plains and agricultural land. They happily trade their mastery of weather in exchange for treasure, slaves and political power, and those that refuse to treat with them find themselves trapped in a magically engineered drought. A falajitax is an accomplished shape-shifter, and uses this ability to appear in a less frightening form when undergoing negotiations, or to deceive its foes.

The control over water possessed by a falajitax can protect them from harm and launch devastating blasts at their foes, but the strangest and most feared power of a falajitax is their ability to control men and beasts like puppets. Their tail ends in a sphincter that unfolds to reveal dozens of sensitive tendrils, which can fire through a creature’s body and take over its nervous system. These cannot burrow through skin, so must be inserted into a creature via an orifice such as the nose or ears—falajitax that wish to hide their control over a creature elect to use lower holes and conceal their presence. A falajitax frequently keeps access to a number of slaves it can possess and control in such a way, but some creatures willingly enter into a pact with a falajitax, serving as its puppet in exchange for wealth or power.

A falajitax grows up to twenty-five feet long and weighs three tons. They are vain creatures and can change the color of their scales to suit their mood, albeit slowly. Despite their snake-like appearance, their anatomies are nothing akin to that of normal creatures—their three hearts are kept at the base of their tails.

Grisly Puppeteer (Ex) As a standard action, a falajitax can insert its tail tip into a helpless, pinned or willing creature. An unwilling creature can resist this with a DC 22 Will save. On a failed save, the creature is dominated by the falajitax, as per the dominate monster spell, except that this does not count as a compulsion effect for the purposes of protection from evil or similar effects. In order to maintain the effect, the falajitax must keep the creature within its reach or space. The falajitax does not need to have a common language with the creature to convey detailed instructions, nor does it require an action to change commands. This is a mind-influencing effect. The save DC is Charisma based. Hydrokinesis (Sp, Su) A falajitax has access to a variety of wild talents as if it were a 15th level kineticist. It can use the water simple blast at no burn cost. It gains access to defensive talents, infusions and wild talents as listed under its special abilities, but does not gain any other abilities of a 15th level kineticist. Infusions (Su) A falajitax has access to the kineticist form and substance infusions listed in its Special Attacks entry, which it can apply to any of the blasts granted by its hydrokinesis ability without needing to accept burn. This applies to only the base burn cost; a falajitax can't accept additional burn to gain a greater effect with infusions such as pushing infusion. Shroud of Water (Su) This ability functions as the kineticist defensive wild talent of the same name. Utility Wild Talents (Sp, Su) A falajitax gains access to the kineticist utility wild talents listed in its SQ entry.

#Falajitax #Leil #Leile #Liwo The falajitax that chased a rhea-hunter was much less friendly. With its head raised, it would beckon him to approach, then lie down and roll up as he came closer. When he discovered the deception, he rode off at full speed, with the falajitax following close behind, jumping from branch to branch like a monkey. When the hunter reached a burned field, the falajitax stopped moving, for such places are unpleasant to the snake. The man returned with other villagers and killed the helpless falajitax, taking its beautiful skin, but after they hung it out to dry it started to rain. The torrential downpour stopped only after they had thrown the skin away. At worst, the falajitax are little more than anthropophagous monsters. They often swallow people alive, but victims can escape by cutting out the serpent’s heart from within – a difficult proposition, considering that a falajitax has multiple decoy hearts around its neck, with the real heart located in its tail. It took two days for one hunter to find the falajitax’s heart and slay it; by then, his hair and clothes had been dissolved and his skin was decomposing. Fortunately for him, his wife’s magic comb restored him to health. But if the falajitax decides to kill first, then there is no escape. The snake constricts its prey to death and then introduces its tail in its victim’s anus, making it walk like a macabre puppet. References Arenas, P.; Braunstein, J. A.; Dell’Arciprete, A.

Falajitax #Falajitax #Leil #Leile #Liwo The Falajitax snakes are both violent ogres and benevolent rain-bringers. The Makka of Paraguay believe that they come from humid areas and bring the water with them wherever they go. Most falajitax live in the Chaco forests. A falajitax has a head like that of a rhea. When it rears up with its body out of sight, it looks exactly like a rhea, and fools many hunters into coming too close. It wears earrings. Its massive serpent body is beautifully colored with eye-catching stripes. But a falajitax need not stick to one form, as it can assume any appearance it wishes, including human and equine guises. A falajitax disguised as a horse can tempt people into riding it, galloping with them into a lake where they drown. At best, the falajitax are intelligent creatures that can be reasoned with by shamans. Falajitax often protect sources of honey in the forest, and the shaman can placate them by singing and soothing them with a sort of balm. A group of Makka and their shaman were permitted to harvest honey, and the falajitax next guided them to their secret stores of honey. The snakes finally appeared in the shaman’s dreams, telling him that they would live in peace with the Makka. (at Dutchtown Primary School)
