Twisted love. A Canalith can create a target of it´s twisted love. Once it´s ability starts it melds into the environment of it´s obsession. Each stage of corruption takes 24 hours. While using this ability, it cannot harm the creature in any physical or mental way until stage 5.
Stage 1, The Canalith creates an avatar and targets a loved one of it´s main target. If the avatar succeeds in killing the target, the demon will take on the likeness of this person. The avatar has the same stats as the canalith however, it is medium sized and has a strength of 14
Stage 2, The Canalith will subtly influence an area (such as a house) with demonic corruption. However if the target or itself leaves this area, the influence will stop immediately.
Stage 3, The canalith will burrow inside the area, transforming it into an extention of itself. However the main body of the canalith must be close to the target of it´s twisted love. The avatar will start to decompose as a result. In this state the demon can spawn eyes and ears wherever it wants inside the area. It also can spawn up to 3 tendrils per day as an action inside the area. The tendrils dissapear after 1 day. The tendrils are medium sized, cannot move and has 16 hit points.
Stage 4, The demonic corruption has fully spread throughout the building and now it can create another demonic avatar, which has the same properties as a stage 1, however it cannot continue to the other stages. It can also act throughout the entire building. It can transmute any non organic of the area to a fiendish organic matter.
Stage 5, The Canalith can now open a portal to the abyss, however it only works for it´s target of twisted love and itself or any of it´s avatars. the portal is in a space with only 1 entry in place of the door. if any other creature enters it acts like the portal isn't there and enters the room. Once the portal closes the area will collapse, leaving no trace of the Canalith
Demonic avatar. The consciousness of the Canalith can be within multiple things at once. However if the heart of the Canalith is destroyed, every instance of this consciousness dies alongside it. The avatars has 22 hp each and has the same immunities and resistances as the Canalith.
The avatars makes two slam attacks, and the canalith in stage 3 makes 1 tendril attack.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., # target. Hit: 1d8 + 2 bludgeoning damage
Tendril. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., # target. Hit: 2d6 + 4 bludgeoning damage and the creature must make a dc 14 strength save or be grappled.
Sickening spores. As an action, the true Canalith can spread spores against a creature within 10 feet of it. The creature must make a dc 14 con saving throw or be diseased. While the creature is diseased it will gain the symptoms of a common cold. It can also increase the amount of spores and on a failed saving throw the target is blinded for 1 minute. the creature can repeat the saving throw against being blinded, getting rid of it on a success.
Description
The Girl was struck with a strange disease and was not told to leave the confines of her room by mother dearest. However although the disease seemed dangerous, mother doesn´t seem to worry. She also told her about the bad men that was going to enter the house to get there. However as long as mr snuggles was on her side, she would remain ok.
Her father was worried, more so than her mother, however eventually even he had the same confidence in her as mother dearest. Eventually the bad men came. As Screams were heard from below, she heard from her father to follow mr snuggles. As the teddy springs to life comforting her, and guiding her to the wardrobe. Within she saw a fiery light. However scared she might have been, she and mr snuggles went into the strange portal, together.
This may have been a good ending, if it weren't for the fact that the thing that lured the girl was in actuality a horrible abyssal fiend known as a Canalith.
The canaliths are tiny, heart shaped fiends, with spindly insectoid legs that obsesses over the concept of love. However being a fiend with no concept of such a thing, it only grasps at the vague concept of it. While inside the abyss it is often used as a spy due to their small stature. However once it manages to escape the abyss, it´s true sinister abilities are on full display.
Canaliths understands the concept of good, and wants to experience it for themselves. So it often seeks out those pure of soul and inspects them from the shadows. Eventually this fascination grows into an obsession as it needs the person. While obsessed it´s powers grow as it uses it´s abilities to invade every facet of the persons life, until it truly trusts them. And even if not, they will spend eternity together inside the abyss. Nobody knows what happens to the poor souls that is tricked by a canalith, nor what happens to the canalith in turn.
