Combat Reflexes (ex) - The Xill gets a number of reactions equal to its dexterity bonus.
Attacks
- Melee - 3 x short swords +13 (1d6+3/19-20). Reach: 5 ft.
- Melee (Natural) - 4 x claws +13 (1d4+3 plus grab). Reach: 5 ft. Grab - Each time this attack is successful, the Xill can make a grapple check as a free action to see if it holds his opponent. If successful, the opponent is grappled. Grabbing does not provoke an attack of opportunity
- Melee (Natural) - 1 x bite +13 (1d3+3 plus paralysis). Reach: 5 ft. Paralysis - Targets hit by this attack must make a CON save or be stunned (level 2) for 1d4 hours.
- Ranged - 2 x longbows +13 (1d8/x3). Range: 150/300/600
Planewalk (Movement)(ex) - A xill can shift from the Ethereal Plane to the Material Plane as a move action. Shifting from the Material Plane to the Ethereal Plane takes 2 consecutive full-round actions, during which time the xill is immobile. As a xill fades away, it becomes harder to hit, gaining 1/4 cover the first round and 3/4 the second. A xill can take a single willing or helpless creature with it when it switches planes.
Implant (ex) - A xill can lay 2d6 eggs in a helpless creature. A xill's eggs hatch in 24 hours, at which point the young consume the host from within, inflicting 1 point of Con damage per hour per young until the host dies. The young then emerge and planewalk to the Ethereal Plane, if possible, to mature. A remove disease spell (or similar effect) rids a victim of all implanted eggs or active young, or they can be cut out one at a time with DC 20 medicine checks (each attempt takes 10 minutes). If a check fails, the healer can try again, but each attempt (successful or not) deals 1d4 points of damage to the patient.
Environment: Extraplanar (Ethereal Plane)
Organization: solitary, pair, gang (3-6)
Treasure: standard (heavy steel shield, 2 short swords, 2 longbows with 40 arrows, other treasure)
This flame-red humanoid appears to be a strange mix of insect and reptile, with four arms and twitching, fanged mandibles.
Xills are the scourge of the Ethereal Plane, conquering everything in their paths with only one purpose: to perpetuate their race at the expense of others. All xills are female and capable of fertilizing their own eggs, but require living hosts to incubate these eggs, which they inject into paralyzed victims by means of a grotesque ovipositor normally kept retracted behind their mandibles. Evil and alien, the plane-shifting xills possess impressive intelligence and a totalitarian, militaristic culture all their own. Though they see most other life forms as incubators, they particularly prize phase spiders for this purpose.
