This ability functions as disguise self, except that the maurezhi can remain in the chosen form indefinitely. It can assume a new form or return to its own as a standard action. ### Consume (Ex) When a maurezhi consumes the body of a sentient living creature (Intelligence score 3 or higher), it gains additional power from this grisly food. It gains one hit die, it's natural armor increase by 1, as does its Strength and Intelligence. It treats any skilled possessed by consumed creatures as class skills. The maurezhi can only use this ability against creatures who died with the last 10 minutes, and only on creatures with at least half as many hit die as the maurezhi. A creature that has been consumed by a maurezhi cannot be restored to life through any form of raising or resurrection that requires part of the corpse. A wish, miracle, or true resurrection spell can restore a devoured victim to life, but there is a 70% chance that even such powerful magic will fail. #### ecology **Terrain** Any land and underground (Abyss) **Organization** Solitary, pair, or pack (3–5 **Treasure** Standard, plus consumed characters’ gear **Advancement** See text Maurezhis are hideous demons that feed on corpses. Unlikecommon ghouls, they can assume the forms of humanoidcreatures they consume.In its natural form, a maurezhi strongly resembles anordinary ghoul. Its hunched and gaunt body has the pallorof death. Its ears are long and pointed, and its mouth isfull of serrated teeth for rending flesh. Its elongated fin-gers end in wicked claws, and its muscular legs, whichresemble those of a big cat, allows it to run quickly andpounce on its prey.Maurezhis speak Abyssal. When a maurezhi assumesanother creature’s form, it can speak any language that crea-ture could speak. Like other tanar’ri, maurezhis can alsocommunicate telepathically.
