Homebrew Cruthu Species Details
Cruthu are an ancient race and come from the far reaches of space. In myth they are thought to be the engineers of life, worlds and possibly the universe or even the multiverse. Some have made it into mythos as just travelers of time and space collecting trophies, prizes, and knowledge or specimens. The Cruthu think of themselves as a higher more advanced form of life, an improved species better at everything. Can travel via means of space ships or portals. Cruthu are large and can range from 8-16'. Although tall, they are not heavy like giants. Can weigh between 250 to 500 pounds. They can speak a rough dialect of common, but their main language is deep speech. The written language is a series of abstract symbols. Skin color is an ashen white to pale grey color and have no body hair at all. Often confused with the much shorter alien grays due to their large almond shaped eyes and large heads. The Cruthu are sensitive to bright or highly luminous light. Through evolution they have developed a secondary eye lens to allow them to see normal in bright environments. Their natural vision is infravision. Most Cruthu take on the class of Wizard, drawing on the subtle weave of magic that permeates the cosmos. Some aspire to become godlike beings to "lower" forms of life.

If the object is worn or carried by a creature, you must make an ability check with your Intelligence contested by that creature's Strength check. If you succeed, you pull the object away from that creature and can move it up to 30 feet in any direction but not beyond the range of this ability.
Telepathic Bond
You forge a telepathic link among up to eight willing creatures of your choice within a 30' range, psychically linking each creature to all the others. Creatures with Intelligence scores of 2 or less aren't affected by this spell.

The communication is possible over any distance, though it can't extend to other planes of existence.
