Cowering creatures lose their Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) and can take no actions. Foes gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls to hit cowering characters. ### Spit Blood (Ex) Once every 1d4 rounds, as a standard action, a quth-maren can spit a glob of its acidic blood as a splash weapon. The quth-maren must make a ranged touch attack to hit its target. This attack has a range increment of 10 feet, with a maximum range of five range increments. The glob deals 2d6 points of acid damage on a direct hit, and 2 points of acid damage to all creatures within 5 feet of where it lands. #### ecology **Terrain** Underground **Organization** Solitary, pair, or gang (3–6) **Treasure** None **Advancement** None A quth-maren is a revolting undead creature created by clerics of Kiaransalee. These clerics are fond of flaying their enemies—removing every scrap of skin—and then animating them in this hideous form. A quth-maren appears in the overall form it had in life, but it has no skin or exposed fat—just muscles over its skeleton. Caustic blood constantly oozes from its body. Unlike zombies, to which they bear a certain resemblance, quth-marens are neither mindless nor prone to decomposition.
