tenebrium emits a spherical field of darkness 60 feet in diameter. This is not ordinary magical darkness, but the more mundane kind emitted by tenebrium, which dims ordinary light. Noctulos is hiding among the black moss on the southern wall (see below). The Balcony: The balcony to the west of the throne room forms the lower jaw of the Colossus. Noctulos occasionally receives flying visitors here (if the nightwings have not eaten them first). Stone doors, barred from within, separate the balcony from the throne room. From below, the balcony may seem like an easy short cut to the throne room, but this is a fatal delusion, as anyone who teleports up will quickly discover. In the hollows of the Colossus’ upper palate, directly above the balcony, a flock of six nightwings roosts. These are usually asleep, but they awaken if they hear prey coming near.

Alternate Form (Su): Noctulos can assume the shape of a bat, dire bat, wolf or dire wolf as a standard action; see the MM for more details. Blood Drain (Ex): Grapple check required; if foe is pinned, Noctulos deals 1d4 points of Constitution drain each round the pin is maintained and gains five temporary hit points with each such successful attack. Children of the Night (Su): As a standard action, Noctulos can summon 1d6+1 rat swarms, 1d4+1 bat swarms or a pack of 3d6 wolves. These creatures arrive in 2d6 rounds and serve him for up to one hour. Damage Reduction (Su): Noctulos has damage reduction 10/silver and magic. His natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Dominate (Su): This is a gaze attack and requires a standard action. The target must succeed on a Will saving throw (DC 26) or fall instantly under Noctulos’s influence as though by a dominate person spell (caster level 12 th ). The ability has a range of 30 feet. The save DC is Charisma-based. Create Spawn (Su): Creatures slain by energy drain rise as vampire spawn; see the MM. Energy Drain (Su): Living creatures hit by Noctulos’ slam or snake attacks gain two negative levels. For each negative level bestowed, Noctulos gains five temporary hit points. He can use this ability once per round. Fast Healing (Ex): Noctulos heals five points of damage each round so long as he has at least one hit point. If reduced to zero hit points in combat he assumes gaseous form and attempts to escape to his throne. He must reach his throne (which he sleeps in instead of a coffin) within two hours or be utterly destroyed. Any additional damage dealt to Noctulos while he is in gaseous form has no effect. Once at rest in his throne, Noctulos is helpless. He regains one hit point after one hour, then is no longer helpless and resumes healing at the rate of five hit points per round. Gaseous Form (Su): As a standard action, Noctulos can assume gaseous form at will as the spell (caster level 5 th ), but it can remain gaseous indefinitely and has a fly speed of 20 feet with perfect manoeuvrability. Petrifying Gaze (Su): Turn to stone permanently, 30 feet, Fortitude DC 26 negates. The saving throw DC is Charisma-based. Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 18, initial damage 1d6 Strength, secondary damage 2d6 Strength. Spider Climb (Ex): Noctulos can climb sheer surfaces as though with a spider climb spell.
