Description
An ancient menace, the creature known only as Chuthul is an ancient, ruthless schemer seeking ultimate power and immortality.
The dreaded creature has carefully concealed his special phylactery: Souleater, a special ring of mind shielding, which he keeps in its invisible mode.
While wearing this ring, he are immune to magic that allows other creatures to read his thoughts, determine whether he is lying, know his alignment, or know his creature type. Creatures can telepathically communicate with him only if he allows it. The ring typically houses a soul intended to feed his undeath.
If his body is destroyed, Chuthul's soul occupies the ring. While within the ring, the item effectively is a sentient magic item: a sentient Chaotic Evil ring, with an Intelligence of 21, a Wisdom of 15, and a Charisma of 17, with hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. The ring can speak, read, and understand the languages Chuthul knows, and can communicate with its wielder telepathically.
At the end of 5 days, if a sentient being is wearing the ring, the wearer must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw, or be subjected to the effects of a power word kill spell. If the wearer dies as a result, then the wearer's soul enters the ring, and Chuthul transforms the wearer's body into his new corporeal form.
