Oculoth

The oculoth is a demon archetype which originates from an unknown valence. It is not known to have any subtypes. It is classified as a lesser demon, and cannot be summoned, but has been used by powerful beings to attack various cities in Elanthia.

Physical Description

The oculoth is a mysterious lesser demon reported to be a shadowy, amorphous orb. Its body is a sphere hovering by unknown means, and made up of an almost liquid shadowy haze. The oculoth seems able to extend this haze form a tendril with which to grab objects. The oculoth has a large mouth which is host to a number of long jagged teeth and a long black tongue. It is capable of an odd, echoing speech as well. The remainder of the oculoth's shadowy surface are hundreds of eyes, all different shapes and colors. One enormous eye occupies the center of the oculoth's mass. One extremely odd ability the oculoth has exhibited is its eating of voids. In various encounters with oculoths, sorcerers have used Implosion (720) and created a void to destroy the oculoth. Instead of destroying it, the oculoth devours the void whole, and then emits shadowy waves which wreaked havoc upon the area in a fashion similar to that of Major Elemental Wave(435). The shadowy waves seem to be an altered incarnation of the void, as they inflict heavy vacuum injuries upon those exposed to them.

Society and Behavior

Little is known about the oculoth beyond its appearance. They have been found to stop and speak momentarilly to each other in their fractured tongue, but little else. The oculoths seem intelligent, as well as exhibiting emotion in their seeming enjoyment of killing.

Given their shadowy haze form, and the fact that the shadowy haze of Shien'tyr has manifested in both the shien and aishan forms, it is not unreasonable to assume the oculoth may originate in Shien'tyr.
