Once the fascination effect ends, the creature is [[Conditions/Sickened|Sickened 1]].\n\n**Critical Failure** The creature is fascinated for 1 minute, can't use reactions while fascinated, and is [[Conditions/Sickened|Sickened 2]] once the fascination ends."

This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty.\n\nThe monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn."
 
name: Shoggti
creatures:
  - 1: Shoggti

Shoggti travel to other planes in roving bands to capture and charm victims, bringing them back to the Abyss where they are enslaved for unknown-but no doubt insidiously evil-purposes. These squid-like qlippoth have slick, blue skin and four suckered tentacles that end in dexterous pincers. In addition to a lamprey-like mouth at the base of its body, each has a secondary maw in the middle of its forehead that stretches from between its two bulging eyes to the back of its head.
