The hollow can only be seen, heard, smelled, touched, sensed, or interacted with by creatures with this feature or objects made of Reishi, though it can interact with creatures made of Kishi normally. Reiatsu. The hollow spend 1 Reiryoku at the beginning of its turn to release its Reiatsu until the beginning of its next turn, learning the direction from it of each creature within 30 feet and each of their proficiency bonuses. If a detected creature's proficiency bonus is 1 or lower, they take 6 bludgeoning damage. ACTIONS Multiattack. The hollow makes two unarmed strike attacks. Unarmed Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 bludgeoning damage. BONUS ACTIONS Regeneration (1 Reiryoku). The hollow or one of its body parts regains 11 hit points.

When the hollow kills a creature that would not be affected by its Reiatsu, it may consume their soul, regaining Reiryoku equal to half the creature's proficiency bonus and causing them to be unable to be resurrected by any means.

When a hollow has killed or grievously injured one or more unseated shinigami, Soul Society gives it a moniker based on its appearance to make it easier to identify, and any information on the hollow is entered into a unified database in order to form a strategy for unseated shinigami to combat it. Alongside greater power, a named hollow's hunger is greater than an unnamed hollow's, forcing them out of Hueco Mundo to feed.

Hollow Archetypes

Each hollow is unique, though most tend to fall into a handful of classifications:

Anti-Spiritual Hollow Innate Bakudo (2 Reiryoku). As an action, one creature within 30 feet of the hollow must succeed a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw or be restrained for 1 minute with concentration. The target or a creature touching the target can make a DC 10 Athletics or Acrobatics check as an action, ending this effect early on a success. Innate Hado (2 Reiryoku). As an action, one creature within 30 feet of the hollow must make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take 14 (1d6 + 11) radiant damage. On a success, they take half as much damage. Acidic Strike (1 Reiryoku). When the hollow makes an unarmed strike, it deals necrotic damage instead of its normal damage type. If the target takes damage from the attack, the target must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, they lose 2 Reiryoku. On a success, they lose half as much. Soul Separation (3 Reiryoku). On a hit with an unarmed strike against a humanoid, the target becomes a soul it they were not already. The target's body falls unconscious, and if the body the target was in was their own (i.e. not a Gigai) any damage dealt to the body is dealt to the creature instead. This has no effect on creatures that are already souls. Bombing Hollow Shunpo. While the hollow's Reiatsu is released, its walking speed increases by 5 feet. Spouting (1+ Reiryoku).
