Countless akatas clung to fragments of the dead planet, entering hibernation and riding these asteroids until they eventually crashed upon a new planet\u2014akatas\u2019 cocoons protected them from the impact, and they soon awoke to seek out suitable hosts to spawn their young. Left untended, an akata scourge can quickly grow into a significant threat. A typical akata stands 3-1\/2 feet tall and weighs 400 pounds.","description":"SPECIAL ABILITIES\r\n\r\nDeaf (Ex)\r\nAkatas cannot hear. They are immune to spells and effects that rely on hearing to function, but they also cannot make Perception checks to listen.\r\n\r\nHibernation (Ex)\r\nAkatas can enter a state of hibernation for an indefinite period of time when food is scarce. When an akata wishes to enter hibernation, it seeks out a den and surrounds itself in a layer of fibrous material excreted from its mouth\u2014these fibers quickly harden into a dense, almost metallic cocoon. While hibernating, an akata does not need to drink or eat. The cocoon has hardness 10 and 60 hit points, and is immune to fire and bludgeoning (including falling) damage. As long as the cocoon remains intact, the akata within remains unharmed. The akata remains in a state of hibernation until it senses another living creature within 10 feet or is exposed to extreme heat, at which point it claws its way to freedom in 1d4 minutes as its cocoon degrades to fragments of strange metal.\r\n\r\nSalt Water Vulnerability (Ex)\r\nSalt water acts as an extremely strong acid to akatas. A splash of salt water deals 1d6 points of damage to an akata, and full immersion in salt water deals 4d6 points of damage per round.\r\n\r\nVoid Bite (Ex)\r\nAkatas hold hundreds of invisibly small larval young within their mouths, spreading these parasitic creatures to hosts through their bite. Only humanoids make suitable hosts for akata young\u2014all other creature types are immune to this parasitic infection. The disease itself is known as void death.\r\n\r\nDisease (Ex)\r\nVoid Death: Bite\u2014injury; save Fort DC 12; onset 1 hour; frequency 1\/day; effect 1d2 Dex and 1d2 Con damage.\r\n\r\nAn infected creature who dies rises as a void zombie 2d4 hours later; cure 2 consecutive saves.","tags":"Summoned Creature,monster","templateId":"1198","blockId":"170717","isShared":"1"}
