Incasos, Blight

Appearance

The Blight is a disgusting pool of slimy red goo that constantly boils and writhes. It is the birthing ground of the Incasos race. It is never encountered as a single entity, but exists in colonies whose population of Blight often climbs into the thousands. Some larger pools of Blight may cover several square miles. It is barely sentient and is typically guarded by other Incasos. The presence of the Blight is accompanied with a putrid, burnt, rotting smell which can be detected from miles away.
    Blight is always accompanied by the presence of other Incasos. These are Incasos who are in the process of being reborn or they are caretakers and wardens of the Blight.

Combat

The Blight tends to remain placid, only striking out at creatures which come close enough to easily reach. Blight strikes with short four-foot-long pseudopods.
    Incasos Traits: Immune to poison, fire, cold, and petrification. Acid and electricity resistance 10. Receives saving throws to avoid magic meant to imprison, hold, entrap, or banish, even when a saving throw is not normally allowed.
    Mindless (Ex): Blight is immune to all mind-influencing effects. Blight cannot communicate with other creatures but can send primitive telepathic messages from other Incasos.
    Paralyzing Touch (Ex): The surface of the Blight constantly sweats a paralyzing ichor. Any non-Incasos that comes into contact with Blight must make a Fortitude save (DC 12) or lose control of their bodies and fall to the ground in writhing pain, helpless.
    Stench (Ex): Blight constantly emits a cloud of noxious, caustic vapors. Those within 10 feet must succeed a Fortitude save (DC 12) or become painfully short of breath as their lungs shudder and bleed. This causes 1 point of damage per round and imposes a -2 circumstance penalty to all attacks, saves, and skill checks for 1d6+4 rounds.
    Aura of Madness (Su): Any colony of Blight whose population is greater than 200 entities radiate an aura of madness, affecting all non-Incasos within 500 ft. with an effect similar to the confusion spell. A Fortitude save (DC 12) negates this effect for one hour. Creatures that fail a Fortitude save remain confused until they leave the area of effect.
    This same aura bolsters the strength of all Incasos within 300 feet of the Blight, granting a +1 morale bonus to all attacks, damage rolls, saves, and skill checks; and increasing their SR by 3.

Habitat/Society

Blight is so low in Incasos social standing that it is barely considered a living creature. It is tended by Mealafists which stir the Blight with great iron poles and is guarded by Taturak or Infaeludor. Blight can survive in extremely hostile environments and is usually found on the lower planes. Blight tends to remain in one place unless prodded by other Incasos into moving. Most creatures and inhabitants of the planes avoid fighting the Incasos in the presence of the Blight.

Ecology

Blight is the most fundamental unit of the Incasos demons. All Incasos are reborn from the Blight after being slain. The Blight itself does not ascend into more advanced Incasos life forms. Rather, it nurtures the spirits of these evil beings while they are being reborn into their next life. It would appear that Blight serves no other purpose other than to rebirth the more advanced forms of the Incasos.
    Various theories contend that when Blight is slain that it is reborn in one of the massive seas of Blight that inhabit the foulest parts of the lower planes.
