Rakshasa Amikuk

This tall, muscular man is wrapped in heavy furs and his head is that of a grinning, shark-toothed beast. Despite his warm raiment, his feet are bare and are shaped identically to human hands.

Taken from Creature Codex

Amikuks are the sages and scholars of rakshasa society, well-versed in the society of men and all of the ways they can be lured into corruption and vice. The favored weapon of the amikuk is the sadistic choice. An amikuk may manipulate events for years in order to set up one fateful decision in order to ruin families, take over communities or punish rivals. Even by the standards of rakshasas they are subtle, and they may attract rakshasas or other fiends as pupils eager to learn their craft.

Most amikuks prefer the nomadic life. They delight in destroying lives on their journeys, pausing to give a passing traveler a cursed item, a piece of wicked advice or to use their soul glide ability to warp behavior towards iniquity. The soul glide is one of the amikuk’s favorite tools, causing its victims to suffer greatly whenever they fail to desecrate a temple, be cruel to a loved one or any one of a thousand other acts of malice. They are brutal when forced into direct combat, using hit-and-run tactics in conjunction with their powerful spears and razor-sharp teeth.

Special Abilities

Detect Thoughts (Su) An amikuk can detect thoughts as per the spell of the same name (CL 18th). It can suppress or resume this ability as a free action. When an amikuk uses this ability, it always functions as if it had spent three rounds concentrating and thus gains the maximum amount of information possible. A creature can resist this effect with a DC 21 Will save. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Earth Glide (Su) An amikuk can glide through any sort of natural earth or stone as easily as a fish swims through water. Its burrowing leaves no sign of its passage nor hint at its presence to creatures that don’t possess tremorsense. A move earth spell cast on an area containing an amikuk moves the amikuk back 30 feet and stuns the creature for 1 round unless it succeeds on a DC 15 Fortitude save.

Soul Glide (Su) As a full-round action, an amikuk can become incorporeal, move up to its speed and enter the square of a living creature. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. The affected creature must succeed a DC 21 Will save or be affected by the mark of justice spell, save that there is no visible mark on the target.

The victim of a soul glide attack always knows the terms of the mark of justice so applied. Regardless of whether the opponent succeeds or fails the save, the amikuk moves to a space adjacent to the target and becomes corporeal on the end of its turn. Spells and effects that prevent a creature from being possessed also prevent this ability. The save DC is Charisma based.
