Other Abilities / Powers / Notes:

  1. Stoning by touch (must score a hit, but does not need to penetrate armour or shield) or eye contact: Flesh to Stone @ BTS 10ML% (Co).  The effect of Stoning is as per the Elementalist Flesh to Stone Spell (Earth version).
  2. Immune to Stoning by touch (can be Stoned by its own reflected gaze, but gets a st)
  3. Saliva (which can expel or withhold at will) has a Stone to Flesh effect upon flesh previously turned to stone.  They therefore use their Stoning ability to capture and store their prey, to be consumed later, bit by bit.
  4. Has Planewatch as innate ability, enabling it to see onto the Ethereal and Astral Planes.  Its Stoning gaze has full effect onto those Planes.  (It cannot be Stoned using a mirror from the Ethereal, as it is not on the Ethereal to be reflected in the mirror.)
