Instinct:

Halaster is fastidious, meticulous, and quite proper, though still thoroughly evil. Halaster can be honorable, and even noble in a way. He brooks no insolence in any case, and remembers any slight or aid given him. He also tries to get his own way in everything, caring not for the harm he does to others in the process. Blackcloak's interests include collecting new monsters and magic, but after thousands of years, nothing is really new to him. Whilst waiting for such delights, he amuses himself by manipulating events and politics to suit his whims. Instinct: Cast Spells

• Dominate
• Lightning Bolt(d12+4)
• Flying Daggers (d8+3)
• Wall of Fire
• Animate Dead
• Fireball (2d8+3)

The exact relation between this beast and the Kaorti is unclear, but there is certainly something there. A hulking extraplanar predator, rippling muscle, and plates of resinous armour - ribbed and fluted to a disquieting degree. It has no eyes or ears and yet somehow senses its prey, and uses its supernatural powers bestowed upon it from some terrible place to hunt despite its enormity. And hunt it does. Not only do the living have to fear it, but it will devour the undead, even automata and oozes, and other entirely inorganic things - its hunger is insatiable. But it does not belong here, sometimes terrible rifts might bring one to our world, sometimes foolish summoners might attract one in hopes of using its great strength to crush their foes. However it arrives it seeks to stay, despite our world being so different to where it arrived from - for there is much easier prey here. There is definitely a connection between it and the Kaorti however, and the Kaorti themselves have been witnessed making use of these creatures - possessing an obedience unseen if summoned by someone of our world. Instinct: To Feed

• Pounce upon hapless foes
• Utilise supernatural invisibility and silence
• Become mystical smoke and reform elsewhere
• Cling to and climb any surface through impossible geometries

• Give Visions of Past Sins
• Issue Judgement
• Call Upon the Forces of Magic

The sages speak of ancient creatures who over the long aeons became tar, that much is known. But a Tar-Thing only bears a superficial resemblance to such a substance, and unlike tar-based automatons this cannot be made only... oozed into our world. Sometimes meteors fall to earth carrying one of these, and when they slither across the earth none can know peace until it is destroyed. They aren't even flammable, because they're not made of tar per se, or at least not terrestrial tar. They can corrupt earthly tar into more of itself however, but more frighteningly they can infect and corrupt mortals and turn them into poor vessels for its essence, unaware that they are already dead until it activates them and reveals their terrible fate. Instinct: To Consume and Corrupt

• Eat Away at Unwanted Things
• Conceal itself within an unaware infected
• Infect and corrupt creatures to turn them into their unawares puppets
• Convert tar and oil into more of itself.

The 'apex' of the tar magic for what it's worth. By simultaneously focusing and dispersing power into a tarry framework and weave lattices of lesser elemental spirits in order to create a primitive 'brain', you can create such a mighty weapon as a Tar Titan, able to sunder walls and choke whole armies and make everyone hate you for using it. But what does it matter if you won? Supposedly these (or something similar) can occur in the wild, but such conditions that would allow it to form would be dire indeed and likely a symptom of a dying world. But then again those that would encounter such a thing would not likely see the world end, so that's one small mercy. Instinct: To Devour/Serve

• Drag things unerringly into its tarry form
• Become a massive tar pit or turn back
• Animate its tarry trail as loyal Tar Golems
