Description
Inexplicably connected to its surroundings, the gigantic ur-maeldryth appears utterly at home. Dozens of fleshy, clawed tentacles plated with large midnight-blue scales snake outward from a nexus of chalky black bone. With a tremendously long reach, they thrash about feverishly, the triple-tined claws snapping in every direction.
Recall
Part of what passes for the demon Maelshyve's metaphysical immune system, the ur-maeldryths are only found where her very self has been made vulnerable. The overlapping laws of our Plane of Abiding and the demonic Plane of Exile allow, or perhaps force, these creatures to be fully manifest, in contrast to the wraithlike maeldryths. Much about them remains a mystery, but there is one certainty: Every time an ur-maeldryth dies, so does Maelshyve, bit by bit.
They are known to cast Viscous Solution, Heighten Pain, Soul Bonding, and Hand of Tenemlor.
In Depth
They will adapt to your attacks and spells so you have to keep rotating attack types and spells that you use.
AOE Spells do not have this issue.
Equipment/Loot
Will occasionally drop a purple-speckled dusky blue phenocryst
Messaging

- Other: An ur-maeldryth hovers silently, a nightmarish guardian biding its time before laying waste to the invaders.
- Other: Impossibly wide emerald eyes open in an ur-maeldryth's nexus as its dark maw gapes in a gleeful howl. The glowing green orbs vanish, swallowed once more behind the tentacular mass.
