<Crypt Thing by Pachycrocuta on deviantArt A pale, solitary skeletal being wearing a brown hooded cloak, the crypt thing remains permanently in its lair. It will not attack if left undisturbed. Its aim appears to be solely that of obtaining pleasure by creating confusion and dissent. When adventurers first intrude into the aberrant crypt thing's lair, it will match their demeanor (although never so friendly as to be suspicious). It will ask the intruders to leave its crypt. If the intruders persist, the crypt thing will use vanishing trick on the target that seems least able to resist (the party wizard, perhaps) and declare that it has disintegrated this victim. Again, it will encourage the intruders to leave. If the party calls its bluff, it will attack with its claws, continuing to use vanishing trick as it recharges. Victims who have been "vanished" are unable to communicate their situation, and the DM may even make their saving throws in secret. Another character accidentally bumping into the victim may give a big clue; attempts to aid the victim will be at the usual penalty for an invisible target. Undead Nature. A crypt thing doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
