Ullagons are bizarre constructs whose lithe yet powerful bodies are made from gleaming blue-green metal crisscrossed with veins of white light. This unearthly metal conducts psionic energy, causing its already deadly strikes to cause intense mental pain as their targets' thoughts are drained out of them, which the ullagon can view at any time. More threateningly, when an ullagon pounces upon its enemies, its body will begin to shudder as it extends a long needle from its mouth, before plunging deep into its victim's skull, hoping to remove the brain. Once an ullagon has extracted a brain, it will telepathically interrogate it before discarding it once it learns everything it wishes to know. Otherworldly Origins. While the exact origins of ullagons are unknown, it is speculated that whatever entity manufactures them resides within the Far Realm, a place of extraplanar madness inhabited by unspeakable horrors. While most ullagons operate independently, a few have been found alongside aberrations, particularly mind flayers. The brains extracted by an ullagon can be consumed by illithids, but there is no evidence that they can create or even control these constructs. On the rare occasions an ullagon has been destroyed, those who dismantled it have discovered a strange fleshy material inside its body. Whether this material is the remains of some creature that pilots the construct from within or simply another component, none can say. Constructed Nature. An ullagon doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
