    • The gylou adopts the appearance of any Small or Medium humanoid.
    • This doesn't change their Speed or the attack and damage modifiers of their Strike||Strikes, but it might change the damage type their Strike||Strikes deal (typically to bludgeoning).

    • The gylou demonstrates a preternatural ability for the task at hand. They use their Deception modifier for the triggering check and for all skill checks using the same skill thereafter until the next time the gylou uses this ability or until 24 hours have passed, whichever happens first.

    Requirements
    The gylou has a Medium or smaller creature grabbed
    Entries
    • The gylou transfers the grabbed creature into their lower body's net of encaging tentacles, freeing their limbs and tentacles to make Strike||Strikes. This has the same effects as Swallow Whole (Medium, 2d12+12 bludgeoning, Rupture 30), except the encaged creature is not at risk of suffocation, and the gylou can bring the encaged creature with them when they cast dimension door. A gylou can have only one creature encaged at a time.
