Ellour (Basic Lore)

Ellour (CR 20)
Pure Evil - Large - Aberration (Outsider)
Ellours are one of the myriad of terrible things that afflict the world, often at seeming random times and places. Ellours can be encountered almost anywhere, at any time, although they are most commonly found on clear nights, when the stars are at their most limpid. For this reason, as well as their oddly star-like tentacled shape, they are sometimes known as 'Star Beasts'. Like many of the truly odd and awful things in the world, no one really knows what Ellours are, or what they want, or how they think. They are undeniably intelligent, but they are not exactly talkative, being hostile to all beings with the Spark, meaning, they usually attack adventurers on sight. They are also enemies of all civilized beings, and a constellation of Ellours that attacks a town or city is an urgent problem that must be addressed by heroes as quickly as possible.
