Any creature within the area when the beast creates it is exposed to the cloud’s poisonous effects. Breath weapon—inhaled; save Fort 22; frequency 1/round for 4 rounds; effect 1d4 Constitution damage; cure 2 saves. The save DC is Constitution-based. ### Damning Darkness (Sp) As a standard action once per day, a black beast of bedlam can create darkness, as the spell, except that those within the area of darkness also take unholy damage. Non-evil creatures take 1d6 points of damage while in the darkness, while good-aligned creatures instead take 2d6. Spell resistance does not apply. Damning darkness counts as a 4th-level spell effect and counters or dispels any light spell of 4th or lower level. The black beast uses this ability as a 15th-level sorcerer. ### Mockery (Ex) A black beast of bedlam can mimic animal cries and voices in any language and can make its voice to sound from anywhere within 30 feet. A black beast gains a +8 racial bonus on Bluff checks made to imitate another creature's voice. ### Resistant to Transformation (Ex) Transmutation effects, such as polymorphing or petrification, force a black beast of bedlam into a new shape, but at the start of its next turn, it immediately returns to its normal form as a free action. ### Screeching Skull (Ex) A black beast of bedlam retains the skull of its most recent victim as a grim trophy that floats around its shifting form. As a standard action, once every 1d4+1 rounds, a black beast of bedlam can unleash a terrible screech through this skull that affects all living creatures other than outsiders within 60 feet. An affected creature must succeed on a DC 20 Will save or become panicked for 1d6 rounds and take 2 points of Wisdom damage. The save DC is Charisma-based. This is a sonic, mind-affecting fear effect.
