Cerebrilith

The creature before you looks like a furless ape that has been crossed with some sort of reptile. Its skull is far longer than it should be, and it does not appear to have a neck, the skull simply continuing directly into the creatures severely hunched back. The skull is not a solid piece, appearing more like a thick ribcage on top, and you can see the enormous brain that also appears to continue into the creature’s back. Long arms appear to keep it balanced, but as it stands up, you realize that they are only kept on the ground for ease of movement, and it appears more than capable of using them in a fight.

Treasure standard

Cerebriliths are specialized demons, augmenting their demonic abilities with psionic might. Cerebriliths are more concerned with their own power than anything else, and very rarely join in demonic armies unless they are needed for a specific purpose. Much of a cerebrilith’s time is spent perfecting its own abilities, generally by using mortals as prey.

Cerebriliths are absolute monstrosities, the largest rivaling balors in size when fully erect. A typical cerebrilith stands around 15 feet tall, and weighs around 5,000 lbs. They’re constantly hunched nature means most cerebriliths appear to only be around 11 to 12 feet high. They form from the souls of powerful psionicists, although only the soles of true psionic masters are capable fueling the creation of one cerebrilith, which otherwise may take as many as a dozen souls of psionic mortals to form.
