Description

Surrounded by twitching tendrils of wispy light the nimbus could be mistaken for a particularly ill-tempted will-o'-the-wisp. Closer inspection reveals a pale imp-like body, with four clawed arms twisted with excessive joints. Softly glowing swirls of color drift aimlessly along its skin as it silently hovers slightly off the ground.

Recall

Native to the Plane of Probability the nimbuses are frigid beings of solidified starlight. Like most interlopers from that plane, their usual method of interaction is violent and inexplicably hostile.

The favorite tactic of the nimbus is to briefly gather its strength before giving off a blinding burst of light. The nimbus will generally follow this assault with rapid claw attacks on its now disabled opponent.

Due to their starlight-based physiology, nimbuses are particularly vulnerable to shadow-based attacks. However, they are highly resistant to cold attacks, and will actually draw strength from light-based magics.
