SPECIAL ABILITIES

Alien Vestment (Su)

A chyzaedu wears a sheet of undulating metallic material blessed by its inscrutable gods. The chyzaedu treats this garment as a +1 moderate fortification breastplate that provides immunity to mind-affecting effects. The vestment also serves as a divine focus for any spell the chyzaedu casts. This vestment doesn't function for any creature other than the chyzaedu for which it was originally crafted. If a chyzaedu's vestment is stolen or destroyed, the chyzaedu can create a replacement with a month of work.

Ecstatic Hunger Aura (Su)

A chyzaedu's zealous drive to consume infects the minds of those around it. Any living creature within 30 feet of a chyzaedu must succeed at a DC 19 Will save or immediately consume any food and beverages (including potions and the like) on its person or within its reach. This effect continues for as long as it takes the creature to consume all the food and beverages within its reach. The creature defends itself normally but takes no other actions while eating and drinking. If the creature succeeds at the saving throw, it cannot be affected again by the aura for another 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Spell Casting

Chyzaedu cast divine spells as 10th-level clerics, but they do not gain access to domains or to any other cleric abilities.

ECOLOGY

Environment any
Organization solitary
Treasure double (7,500 gp of metallic material, other treasure)

Chyzaedu resemble massive pale earthworms, save that each has a hard beaks at one end and a knot of short tentacles at the other. Their bodies are extremely flexible and ringed with powerful muscles. Chyzaedu have very efficient, well-developed digestive systems, allowing them to ingest a wide variety of materials, although they prefer to eat sentient creatures in order to share the religious experience of consumption.

Chyzaedu have a ring of tiny eyes around their beaklike maws, mostly hidden by the folds of their skin. These eyes are particularly keen and can dilate to allow the creature excellent night vision. Their eyes are supplemented by the lumpy and irregularly sized parietal eyes that line the area just behind their beaks; these serve as supplemental sensory organs, pinpointing the location of other nearby creatures in contact with the ground. The cloaca at the end of a chyzaedu's body is ringed by five flexible, ridged tentacles, which can wind together to form a clawlike appendage. A chyzaedu has significant control over this appendage and can use it to grasp items, manipulate devices, or cast spells with somatic components.

Chyzaedu track and study purple worms and their variants (in particular, the colossal crimson worms). Some chyzaedu view purple worms as enlightened brutes, devoid of intellect but wholly overwhelmed by the religious fervor of consumption.

Other chyzaedu see purple worms as little more than breeding stock, but hope to use them to enhance future generations of their race.

Chyzaedu measure of 60 feet in length on average and weigh approximately 5,000 pounds.
