Fear Demon (Gerahem)

A creature of over 9 feet tall, a fear demon is imposing to many of the other denizens of Atheles. And for good reason, it survives, it feeds off of the fear and panic of living creatures.

Fear Aura

The gerahem constantly radiates supernatural terror.

Any living creature that comes within 30’ of the gerahem must make a Difficult CON check. On a failure, the creature suffers a 2/1d8+1 Horror check and becomes Panicked.

A creature farther than 30’ away that can clearly see the gerahem must instead make a normal CON check. On a failure, it suffers the same effects.

A creature that successfully resists the Fear Aura cannot be affected by that gerahem’s aura again until the next day.

Fast Healing

The gerahem naturally regenerates 5 HP at the beginning of each of its turns. Damage caused by Cold Iron prevents this healing until the beginning of its next turn.

Fearful Fast Healing

Fear sustains the gerahem. If at least one living creature is currently under the effects of the gerahem’s Fear Aura, its Fast Healing increases from 5 HP to 10 HP per round.

While feeding upon fear in this way, the gerahem requires no other source of sustenance.
